Louisiana State

Earlier this week, Louisiana made headlines by becoming the first state in the U.S. to allow surgical castration as a punishment for certain sex crimes against children. This new law, signed by Republican Governor Jeff Landry, gives judges the option to order offenders guilty of crimes such as rape, incest, and molestation against children under 13 to undergo surgical castration. While this decision has sparked both support and criticism, it is clear that it opens up a larger conversation about how we as a society view and handle crimes against children.
