Reflections:
kyle Berkson,36, last February was convicted for breaking into a child's bedroom and molesting her, and a psychiatric assessment has been ordered to to see if he should be mark down as either a dangerous or long term offender. The crwon requested for Berkson to be tested and it was granted this Wednesday and in Canada if you are determined as a dangerous offender you indefinitely get a prison sentence and if you are deemed as a long term offecdor you can receive prison time up to 10 years in jail. Berkson's criminal record dates all the way back to 1988 and that includes a sexual interference in 1995 which involved a five-year-old boy. Berkson's new victim is now 10 years old and testified in January and there was a man on top of her who molested her, licked her and tried to get her to perform oral sex, and she also testified that he sounded and looked a lot like Berkson, and Berkson was also a family friend who had been to their house before.
The common way these assaults happen is that the assaulters first befriend the children's parents. Many of the cases that are coming up these days have a common way of happening, the convicted already knows the family and either has been in their home or know them pretty well. This isn't the first time that Berkson's done something like this so a proper punishment should serve sometime in jail and away from society with some medical attention to help him get better. The parents of children should also beware of who they are befriending and watch out for suspicious activity if they are too attached to your child or getting to close to your child then they are supposed to, becasue that is how it all starts the first job of these molestors is to befriend the parents and then move to their children.
