This is why the Judicial system needs to use some discretion when dealing with these sick people. If they raised the possible penalties, the judges would be able to use more discretion when dealing with these people. If they raise the penalties, then it would be like many other crimes where you "could" get some serious time, but unless your a felon on probation, you will be fine
