Is there a children's home on the planet where children are

<snip>
Six Portuguese men have been jailed after they were found guilty of sexual abuse at a state-run children's home.

Carlos Silvino was given an 18-year sentence after confessing to 639 charges relating to the abuse of children or procuring them for others.

His co-defendants, including the former TV presenter Carlos Cruz, were jailed for between five and seven years.

The boys, now aged between 16 and 22, were all residents at the Casa Pia children's home in the capital, Lisbon.


The panel of three judges in the case spent most of the day reading the full verdict in each of the hundreds of sexual abuse accusations.

After ruling that the vast majority of the charges had been proven, they handed down guilty verdicts to six of the seven people on trial.

Silvino, a 54-year-old former driver for Casa Pia who abused boys on hundreds of occasions and later offered them to other men for cash, was convicted on all charges.

Cruz and Joao Ferreira Diniz, a doctor, were each given seven-year sentences, while retired ambassador Jorge Ritto got six years and eight months.

6. I agree. When you are found to have abused kids HUNDREDS of time
you should be in prison for life. There should be no chance that you are ever getting out. :(

2. I am guessin these lower than low animals
will be looked down on in prison,,because they are the lowest of the low.
A friend of mine used to work in a prison and these guys would not live long or life would be hell for them in general population in there.

5. When I consider the torture we (as a species) put to each other
To children and to animals, I think we're below the lowest scum in the universe.
