Don’t miss Dr. Phil’s exclusive interview with Brianna Denison's mother who is speaking out for the first time since her daughter's body was found. Nineteen-year-old Brianna made headlines when she was kidnapped while she slept on a friend's couch. Brianna's killer – an alleged serial rapist -- is still on the loose in Reno, NV. And, a controversial issue is heating up the headlines: Where should registered sex offenders live when they’re released from prison? Residents of Long Beach, California say not in their neighborhood. They’re outraged that an apartment building is allegedly housing 13 registered sex offenders, and the building owner is reportedly receiving $1,000 per month to house them. Former tenants, James and Getania, were disgusted to learn that the sex offenders were living in their building, and local residents weren’t happy either. Dawna owns several properties near the apartment complex. She says she’s losing tenants and the sex offenders are stalking others. Then, Jake Goldenflame, a registered sex offender who was convicted of molesting his daughter and young boys over 25 years ago, says he's still attracted to teenage boys, but says people like him have no resources and need to live somewhere. What does Dr. Phil think? Should the sex offenders be forced to leave the community, or should their neighbors just learn to live with them? If it's happening now, Dr. Phil is going to deal with it now! Join the discussion.

03/07 Dr. Phil Now: Sex Offenders Next Door

Quote From: lolo40

 I realize that sex offenders need places to live, but does it have to be in close proximity to children. I do no think just because they did there time that they deserve to move on. Because what they have done to that child has affected them for the rest of there life, and besides they did not receive free counseling on the tax payers dime. That child has been changed for life and they no longer get to be free of guilt, worry, and low self esteem. I think all sex offenders need to be put out in the middle of the desert and have all there food air dropped. So they have no contact with any people. These children do not forget and move on like nothing happened. If they do not like being reminded of what they've done then move out of the USA.
So what if the offender was sexually abused themselves?

03/07 Dr. Phil Now: Sex Offenders Next Door

Quote From: sundeigo

Put them all on Alcatraz Island  with a shark tank in ocean like SeaWorld barbed wire extending 2 miles out surrounding the Island and let them have at it. The laws are in need of a overhaul. They get out in 2 years or less.  DO FOOD DROPS ! ! ! !  MILITARY STYLE ! ! ! PERKS THEY ARE ALL SEX OFFENDERS, LET THEM OFFEND EACH OTHER. ! ! !

 

 I agree with you 100%, they also should remove their sexual organs entirely,  just in case they escape!!!

      They should get a life in prison they are human garbage!

03/07 Dr. Phil Now: Sex Offenders Next Door

Quote From: wackywoman247

I agree that we could take some of the government land in the desert, put the FEMA trailers on it from Katrina, and when they are released they get to live there. We let them live free in exchange for work, they can be bussed to clean freeways,build the border fence, clean up crime sites. And if they do not want to do that then they can opt for surgery, so they can not rape anyone again.

Sounds like a plan to me!

 

When you molest a child, rape another person, or otherwise sexually impose your disgusting self upon another person, I personally think you should be publicly executed! I don't give a rat's behind about YOUR rights...as far as I'm concerned, you have none. Rape is pretty much the same as murder since you destroy that victim's life forever. You may not kill their body, but you kill their soul.

 

Sex offenders do NOT get better! Even the creep that was on the show today admitted that....and it's been proven time and time again.

 

Looking at the blue dots on the website showing where the slimes live is like looking at a wall full of cockroaches....and they should be dealt with in the same way!

Thoughts&Prayers

This story is heartwrenching.  My thoughts and prayers go out  to Brianna's family and  friends.  However, I am releived by the amount of attention her story is getting.  As a victim of a sexual attack on my college campus, I discovered how unaware so many young women are of the dangers around them.  As unfortunate as it is, the freedoms that modern women enjoy often come at a very steep price, namely leaving us open to being victimized.  What is even more scary is that the tools that we use to arm ourselves against these assailants sometimes aren't enough.

From personal experience, I would recommend taking a self-defense class over buying a can of mace, carrying a cell phone, or getting a concealed weapons permit.  You never know if you're going to have enough time to use your counter-weapon, but if you know how to physically defend yourself you can be ready at any time.


I sincerely hope that the authorities catch the sorry s.o.b. who took the life of a beautiful and talented young woman.  I also hope that for other women across the country, it is finally clear that the world around us isn't safe.  Maniacs like this guy will always be out there; being smart and thinking about safety first is the only way to help keep tragedies like these from happening.

Where are America's priorities?

 First of all let us accept the reality that USA prisoners of sex crimes have served their time unlike Canadian prisoners of such crimes who only serve two thirds of the sentences handed out. It was alledged that prisoners had no acceptance of fellow prisoners of theirs incarcerated for such crimes. That sounds pretty phoney in light of the EX prisoner incarcerated for pedophilia acts.

  The constitution as wierd as it may sound states that prisoners having served their time are allowed to live in the community without harrassment as long as they do not reoffend. They have the right to live where ever they wish. They also can go to Sexaholics Anonymous meetings for help in dealing with fear of acting out on these attractions. Individualised counceling also exists. And of course, they may also masturbate to satisfy themselves sexually without harming anybody else. What do you think many guys do when they do not have a woman in their life who are not pedophiles?

 

Ressources! Ressources...... for the poor abovementionned pedophiles! Now that, that issue has been resolved here is another one. Where are the ressources for VICTIMS of pedophiles? OH....that is true. There are many ressources for victims of pedophiles IF the VICTIMS HAPPEN TO BE FEMALE.  There are   VERY FEW ressources available for victims of pedophiles who as BOYS were abused in grade one by a student in grade 5 as I was........ or by adult pedophiles. So let us cut a deal. If ressources are made available to MALE  victims of sexual abuse as well as to FEMALE victims of sexual abuse that all victims have access to......not only those who are NOT financially disadvantaged THAN I might be willing to discuss ressources for pedophiles that go beyond Sexaholics Anonymous  and masturbation. Until MY needs are met with tax dollars some are ready to use for pedophiles than I have nothing more to suggest for pedophiles and their sob stories than I have already stated.

I live right next to a school

I live right next to a school and have lot of these type of people liveing around me. In fact just the other day a sex offender moved in within less then 1 mile from me and the school. I think they should make a community just for these people and make them live there. They have to have a band on their ankle for the rest of their lives noteing where they are at and when. So they can be kept tracked of. And have to report to their PR twice a week the rest of their lives.  And not be aloud to have children or be around them at all. This may seem harsh but they brought it on them on themselfs. So they live with it the rest of their lives. I myself don't even feel safe for anybody in this world today, man or women nor do I trust anybody.

And for the internet...... Moms and Dad's .... keep your kids off of it it's  not safe or check on them to see what they are doing and see who they are talking to. Get involed in your kids lifes.
