Absolutely!! I had to go to a counseling/therapy meeting for parents of surviving children. I met a set of parents there... If only they had locked their doors their 15 year old daughter would not have been abducted and raped. Lucky she did live and got away but the man was never identified or caught. I do not understand why people do this to children! Going to those meetings has taught me that even women can be evil too it’s so sad!😞 no child deserves this! And no parent! As the parent of a survivor I can tell you that it feels like you are the one that is also assaulted. You wish that you could take the abuse on so that your child never knew it! Or remembered it! I have heard of criminals admitting that if they come upon a home that is locked they will go to the next! So it is my hope that someone will read these comments and lock their doors! Because of reading this! It doesn’t matter how safe your town is it can happen anywhere!!

Children are innocent and should be able to live and laugh without threats like this. My condolences to the family.

[@tylerskiss]

I think, if a criminal does something this depraved, but later shows remorse, they should get a life sentence. But when a criminal does something absolutely inhuman like this and then goes on to revel in it, then the death sentence is mandatory. This type of person can serve no useful purpose in society.

You have no imagination. What about dangling parole in front of him after three decades then at the last moment saying it's been delayed for ten years?

Then the family is allowed to take their life, or if they don’t want to, allow others who volunteer or we could even have people pay to be able to stab him to death.

I knew this family personally, I dated Georginas brother back in 2012… Alisa was a lovely little girl even back then and Georgina was the nicest person who treated me with kindness, this was honestly truly heartbreaking to learn, I was in Edinburgh the time this happened and we didn’t have a TV so had no idea this was happening… if I did I would’ve reached out to Georgina… I disagree with the sentence I think 27 years is ridiculous and should’ve been life. My deepest sympathy to Georgina and the Lochrane family

Given his attitude and behaviour subsequent to his dreadful crime and his obvious total lack of remorse, there can only be one fitting sentence. Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole! Nothing less than that can be considered justice.

27 years is the minimum term he will serve before he can apply for parole, he may well serve significantly longer before he is considered fit for release and its possible he may never be deemed fit for release

I wish violent crimes got life but rape and murder, attempted murder, got death. Drugs should get fined. Marijuana should be legal. Prison sentences should be for robbery, car theft, stuff like that.

It is the shooting of the one fox so that the twenty hens can live.

Something like this happened in my hometown. Victim was a 5 year old boy, the rapist and murderer was a 17 year old kid. I went to school with his parents. His mom and i were fairly close, in a good circle of friends. Our town is only like 10000 ppl and is very isolated. My husband was a sheriff officer and our small PD called in the Sheriff for help with searching and investigating. His mom called me, crying, begged me to come over and bring my husband. For some reason i just knew. This little boy lived just over my friends back fence. Her rear camera caught the entire thing. It was grainy, but obvious. At least everyone rallied around both families. The moms walked hand in hand every single court hearing, trial, even every break in between. Very sad. Very horrifying. The murderers family also basically disowned him. He refused to confess or speak at all. He refused to say where the body was. Refused closure. It was wicked. There has to be something wrong with the kid. We all just thought he was quiet. Maybe on the spectrum. He was actually well behaved and intelligent. It was so strange. His family is beautiful, a well ingrained part of our small town. Hunters eventually found partial remains a week after his sentening.

[@thislightful]

Omg! As a mother of a _ year old, I burst into tears listening to this. I would not solely rely on any country’s system of justice!! I cannot imagine the family’s absolute anguish to know what had happened to her. So innocent. To think of your little girl being so unbelievably abused and completely terrified. I think of my own and I’m sure I would not survive something like this, and neither would he!

Is there any such thing as a “normal” family, Jeremy? It’s easy to say that he was born with this proclivity. He may have had it in him, yes. But it may also be that influences on him, possibly many, led him to being capable of this terrible, unspeakable act. The fact that Alesha’s father was a drug dealer supplying to school kids doesn’t seem to get mentioned at all. Obviously because to do so would seem to lessen Campbell’s crime. As for the future, it’s hard to believe he can be rehabilitated, even if he survives.
