02/20 Bully Husband

He has whittled her self-esteem down to a point where she feels she can't leave him.  I also feel she is expecting criticism from her husband, so she probably figures "why bother in the first place?"

Prison Doesn't Fix a Thing

Quote From: gwarrior6

 

It's very scary to know how many sex offenders live next to you!  There are about 170 in the 10 mile radius from where I live (I need to move).  There's about 20 that live half a mile away!  It's a shocking reality check, thats for sure.

 

You can find out the # of sex offenders that live in your area, their names, addresses and pictures from the the family watchdog site:

What to do when the jails are so overcrowded that these sociopaths are free?

I work for a prison and I'm here to tell you that locking up these offenders does not take away their drive as predators once released.  Another problem is that most Americans are under the impression that sex offenders "have" to register when released from incarceration.  They are TOLD to register but many do not.  It's going to have to be up to each individual to know their surroundings, know their neighborhoods and keep themselves safe.

Excuse me????

Quote From: enyadreams

YESSSSSSSSSSSS THEY CAN GET TREATED AND CHANGE ! NOT ALL OFFENDERS REOFFEND CONTRARY TO POPULAR OPINION! MOST PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT REGARDING THIS SUBJECT AND WOULD RATHER THINK THE WORST OF THEM INSTEAD OF HOPING FOR THE BEST!
"not very likely to reoffend"?????  I'm sorry, but even with treatment, many...MANY ex -offenders re-offend!  Not all...but many.....The problem is this:  A sex offender usually commits MANY crimes BEFORE they are caught!  I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you that many do not re-offend once they have received treatment.  Tell that to the family of the little child who was found strangled, raped and dead, after "her" ex-offender was released from prison after "treatment".

"Hoping" for the Best?

I agree with you that "all" do not reoffend.  If you read what I wrote, you would have seen this.  But we as a society cannot "HOPE FOR THE BEST", because while we are living in a polyanna world hoping for the best - there are predators lurking around school yards and parks.  I work with sex offenders.  I read their sentences, their charges and their plea agreements.  Keep "hoping" they will change, at least you'll sleep better at night.
