And $500 fines don't scratch the surface for life time medical care and pain/suffering.  Confiscation of assets including SS and IRAs would be a helluva wake up call and actually protect kids.

I don't disagree, I'm just figuring handing out a few hundred $500 fines this year is possibly going to reduce the number of people willing to take the risk next year. I agree they should do more to people who cause property damage or injury, particularly injury to children. I love children, they're delicious - but not blackened.
