Quote From: ladiehawkeThis is a topic that has come up more than once between my circle of friends. We have talked it and taked it to death many times. There is no good answer.
Firstly, these people have to live somewhere. Our laws do not allow them to be taken out of society permanantly. Truthfully, I find the idea of them living all in the same building, isn't a bad idea.
My big problem with the sex offenders registery is that today someone can be labled a sex offender for getting drunk and taking a whizz on the side of the road. There are many people out there that have been forced to register for petty stupid little things that shouldn't be listed as a sex crime. Forcing someone to register as a sex offender should be saved for those who truly are sex offenders. And I hate to say it, but if this country is gonna place a scarlet letter on these people's chest and basicly prevent them from being able to work and live anywhere, then the bovernment should figure out a way to house and feed these people. You can't make a group of people pariahs and not see to their well being.
Atlast some with some sence in this matter. I have sent in a reguest to Dr. Phil for the past 4 yrs.
concerning the very issue you explained. Our newly turned 18 year old had an almost 13 girl that
persissited in being to close. I am going to post the whole story look for it. HE was charged as a
sex offender over a petting act. Most people have NO IDEA what all this means to a non offerner
who is forced to be labeled a "Sex Offender" Police trickery and State policies are the jury. If a boy
(18) even sticks his finger into a girl 's (12) ear that would be an offence. Yes!!! a true offender should
be treated as such. But how many of us as teens' didn't have a heavy petting experience? If 12 years
old was like it was in the 60's well.... but now they are 12 going on 20+. Most are very forward!!!!!!!
I plead again for aid in this matter. Because of all this it has taking our son 7 year just to get through
college (our own University wouldn't allow him to attend). He is under a contant watchful eye with a PO.
How he has had the where for all to go on at times has amazied us. This has to change
