What do you think about the States that refuse to pass Jessica's Law?

Question

Colorado is one of them, New York is another. Sheldon Silver is a representative of NY. He refuses to pass Jessica's Law. It is my opinion that anyone who stands in the way of protecting children from sexual predators is probably a sexual predator himself. I have sent letters and emails to several Senators and only heard back from one. The Governor of Maryland responded with the good news that he had passed Jessica's Law in May. In my opinion, if an adult is sexually attracted to a child, that person should have a hand grenade shoved up their a** and have their perverted little head blown off.

coragryph: you read me wrong. I do not wish to "punish" people because of who they find "attractive", I want to kill anyone who is sexually attracted to a child. See, let me explain it in a way you might understand better: If a male gets a ***** when he looks at a baby or small child, he should be executed. No punishment, no jail. Kill him dead. Sorry if you think people have a right to lust over children, I disagree. All perverts would die if it were up to me. I don't care if you agree with it or not. Free speech is great, isn't it? I love it. Have a great day. I'm a little concerned about you though. . . taking up a defense against perverts. tsk tsk Perhaps you have some hidden perversions of your own. Shame on you, fella.

Answer 1

So, you want to punish people because of who they find attractive, whether they ever commit any crime or not, and regardless of whether they hurt anyone else or not.

I didn't realize that many people still wanted to punish people for their beliefs and thoughts. Oh well...

As far as the rest if your statements, if you think states should pass a particular law, go right ahead and lobby for that.

Answer 2

The real problem with Jessica's Law, and most laws passed in reaction a any specific crime, is that the do little if anything to actually protect anyone. The main thing they accomplish is to make people FEEL like they have done something good. Often, any provisions that would actually protect victims, are already included in existing law. Most other provisions sound good on paper, but turn out to be useless in practice. For example, Jessica's Law prohibits registered sex offenders from living or working near children. Where they LIVE is not important. Where the spend time matters.

Answer 3

All good things come in time. There could be other laws on the books that already cover that topic. Thou I think because of how well this program has done, it should be passed hands down. In time, the people will rise up to the corrupt leader of this great country. Maybe they will have to address funding this bill. In turn that could open some doors that they dont want to open. Like how they used up all of last years road funds? Not saying they did, but its just a point of how things could go.

Answer 4

I am not familiar with this Jessica's law, but as a lawyer I do know we have enough laws to cover every thought and act anyone could ever think of, we have added over a million new criminal laws to our books since the fifties, how many laws do you think we need, we are already a police state in America,
remember every law that is passed is also a law to enslave us, even tho it sounds good on the surface,I will assure you I will not defend a person who I feel is guilty of mistreating a child, but, I do believe we have to many laws now and a lot of them need to be repealed, have you ever read the ten commandments? lets all insist our gov, enforces those then we won't need any of the others.

Answer 5

I give you a star,i completely agree.Child predators don't deserve a second chance they need to be sent to prison in a pink jumpsuit to show everyone who they are. People in prison hate perverts like this,i would have no sorrow if he/shew was killed if not raped in prison. If i had it my way i would let an child hurt by this man shoot him with a nail gun as many times as they would like while that punk was hung on a fence,have him wear a sign saying what he did. I would let people spit puch and hurt him till hes on the border to death and then i would brink him back for another round.They have no right to live,they do it once they will do it again.

Answer 6

There are areas of "Jessica's Law" that most states don't find constitutional (yes, convicted sex offenders still have constitutional rights) or beneficial to the state or the well being of the children in question (those under 12 years of age).

For example, the law states that registered sex offenders of children under the age of 12 would be restricted from living or working within 2,000 yards or school areas, causing them problems finding employment and/or housing. Of course, most of us law-abiding citizens aren't worried about Joe Child-Molester getting a job, but consider this. If Mr. Child-Molester is unable to get a job or find a place to live because he is a registered sex offender of a child under 12.. wouldn't that be a good enough reason for him not to register? Which would you rather have? Would you rather he live in your neighborhood and you now know about it? Wouldn't you rather know which neighbor's pool your 6 year old should NOT BE IN?

It's a vicious cycle and a difficult law to enforce. Luckily, I live in Nevada where molestation of a child under 14 is a MANDATORY life sentence. :)

Answer 7

Coming from NJ, they have an inclination to entice back from such strict standards. The state politicians like having issues extra open-ended fantastically much to basically human beings all and sundry. in addition they stil think of that detention center is approximately rehabilitation.

Answer 8

I think the best way to get those renegade states who refuse to pass some form of "Jessica's Law" to change their ways is if the Federal government decided to make such laws a requirement to receive Federal school or law enforcement funding. The Federal government already does this with drinking and driving standards so why should it not be expanded to include "Jessica's Law."

Answer 9

well, one thing is the states might think of it this way: would you want everyone to know your criminal history? i do know a few people who the registry did ruin there live and all they did was have sex with there girl friend in high school and her parents were donkeys.

Answer 10

I agree.
