Re: I didn't know said by DiscardedVet:One can go to the Internet Pedophile Registry of any city and see exactly what you are talking about. Of which .......... I IMPLORE EVERY PARENT to do just this - it may strike the fear of your God to see how close to you and YOUR CHILD these people things live !!! Don't be so sure of those registries. They include many, many people who you would not consider to be true pedophiles. People convicted of statutory rape (consensual sex with a minor... even if they were just two years apart), people in possession of non-sexual adolescent photos, pederasts, even people convicted of "inappropriate contact" such as hugging a child.
This country uses the word pedophile as a hot button topic. Government and law enforcement officials take the hard line to make the panicky public feel better, but in reality it's becoming a witch hunt. | |

Bolton, MA | Precisely. The phrase "question authority" implies a lot more than asking why the government did something; it includes things like verifying that these kinds of registries hold correct information. Given the percentage of mistakes in such things as credit reports and death-row convictions, I don't place much trust in politically and emotionally charged things like sex offender registries! | |
