sex offender registry law does not work! why have it there in the 1st place?

Question

http://press.arrivenet.com/politics/article.php/820141.html
We are also wanting to know, why did the Sex Offender Registry not save this child from this very possible horrid danger? We also realize that most likely there will be more new knee jerk, get me more votes legislation for the Rehabilitated Sex Offenders that do not and will never offend again. This one man, who is, I would assume, a Sexual Predator since he had more than one molestation charge against a child already, should have been watched more closely, had a stiffer sentence or something to that effect.

Answer 1

there's a man in my neighborhood that is a sex offender, but has NOT been arrested since 1995. In 1987 he ran a lingerie modeling business and inadvertantly hired some girls that were within 6 months of being 18, they had fake id's. (this from me one of the jurors on his trial) He spent 8yrs in prison and is now on the sex off. registry in my state. He's committed NO new crimes since then. Should he be persecuted forever? I don't think so. Not ever sex offender is out to ruin a child's life. Let's decide on a case to case basis

Answer 2

They have it here in the first place because they like to make society think they are doing something. When in all actuality teaching prevention would be a lot less costly than registries. But, the U.S. loves to spend money needlessly. We all know that.

I thought that was a great Press Release myself. It showed empathy for the child and her Aunt. It also made the point that the Registry in that town did no good because the sex offender came from another town. Keep up the good work nk

Answer 3

The groupe ROAR for Freedeom, chich penned the article, openly states that their base includes "rehabilitated" sex offenders. This is surely slanted not to mention poorly written.
The registry will not save all children. It isn't this nifty little wand that gets waved and "poof" all the sex offenders burn in hell and the little children are safe to play in their yard again. It is a measure to assist people in open awareness. It makes it so you know that there is a sex offender on your block or in the neighborhood you are planning to move to and assists you in making choices accrodingly. This does not mean that you should throw caution to the wind cause there is no Chester the child mollestor on your block because Chester may have not been caught yet. he could still be living next door.
The list grows because sick people exist but if that list and more public awareness due to that list saves ONE child then that is enough for me. When you harm a child you lose your right to my concern, care and belief in your freedom. Personaly I believe that in most cases sex offenders should be locked away for life. Their victims will suffer the burdon of their twisted minds for the rest of theirs and I think it is only fair.

I will state that I think there should be a distinction between certain "offences" and others. I don't think that the 20 year old guy who fell in love with his 15 year old girl friend and her parents got pissed off should be punnished the same way as the man who raped a 2 year old. I think the laws need some assistance in these areas. As for the sex offender registry, it is not a cure all but I believe it is a step in the right direction.
As for this article, I feel for the child but I think the whole point of this article was to take the pain of this child and twist it to assist people that are the offenders. That's really disgusting.

Answer 4

You know what I think. I think that all registered "child" sex offenders should be put on an island in the middle of the Pacific with no way to escape. I think that we should put them there and then air drop food and weapons to them once a month. Let them kill each other off. I don't care what anyone says there is NO rehabilitation for someone that would harm a child like that.

In my state, they have passed laws where offenders can't live within 1000 ft of a school. Well, what about the children who have to walk home from a bus stop? That law doesn't protect them.
They are trying to pass an addendum to that law now that states an offender can't live within 1000 ft of a playground or daycare center. It does no good. These people go out in search of children. They skip town and don't register in the new town. The system is so overloaded with them that they can't possibly keep track of every single one, every single day.

It's unfortunate that you can't even turn your kids out in your own back yard without having to worry about the pervert down the street.

It's disgusting.

I also believe that a person, man or woman, that is convicted of something like 3rd degree rape should be required to be on the list. Something that minor isn't worthy, and the system would have more time to devote to the more serious offenses. Hate me if you want, it's just my 2 cents

Answer 5

I like it I can show their pictures to my kids and say if you see this person go the other way. I can see how close he lives and if my son was missing I could call the police as I am going to the pedophiles house.

Why do we have to rehabilitate someone that ruins a child's life. Here is my take steal a TV you can be rehabilitated by learning a skill to get a job. Molest a kid go to jail cit in a small cell 23 hours a day 1 hour a day move in to a bigger cell for exercise.

Answer 7

The article you mentioned is about a sex offender already on the registry,it shows that they do re offend.Contradicting your stance that they don't re offend that often.The article does not state how many potential victims lived near him who was saved because parents knew he was there and kept a closer eye on their kids.There are problems with all laws and every once in awhile someone slips through the cracks in all of them.Just because someone can slip slip through the cracks in one does that mean that they should all be changed?

Answer 8

Since President Bush wants everyone chipped by 2009 he should start with murderers, rapists and child molesters. Forget the bracelets. This way the law enforcement agencies would be able to track their whereabouts.

Answer 9

its wrong, and apprehensible that any of these predators are able to continue in society, but we do not hear about how many children are saved by law, just when one of these monsters falls through the cracks in the system, but the registry is open for all, so why didn't the neighborhood get involved beforehand? the people in the community also need to be involved as a backup to the law. When everybody is on the lookout together its harder for them to prey on our children.

Answer 10

Liberal courts......cloudy ideals that people are all good. They would change their views if it happened to their kids.

Personnally, say what you want, you molest a child, in my opinion society no longer needs you for anything and I say you should be put to death...painfully
