| Haven't we lived with this type of fear before?
Just some thoughts
Didn’t our society have this same fear about homosexuals just a number of years ago? They are now accepted in our society.
Didn’t our ancestors have the same feelings about blacks? They are just another person now. (At least in my area)
I think I have seen or heard of research that says your children are more likely to be violated by a family member or someone they know and trust, than a stranger in our neighborhood.
A person can kill a child, do his/her time, and never have to register. But a person who sleeps with their under age girlfriend, or worst, violates a child, is subject to life long tracking, worry, and possible retaliation for something they might have done 20, 30 or 40 years ago.
Why don’t we spend our societies money on children, with a better education, more afternoon resources, instead of spending our money on prisons when the kids have nothing to do, no job possibilities, and no self worth.
Because of these lists how much does our society lose with people on the list hiding, living in fear, changing their name. And what does this do for their family.
I sure don’t have the answer. I don’t think any of us do. I just wish that we could live with more love toward our fellow man, and less fear and distrust.

| The last thing I need is for my son to be butt-raped by some sicko that happens to be his friend's father. Dude, sh*t happens. It almost happened to the child of some close family friends. Luckily he barely escaped it, and the perp (perve) is now in prison because he had the guts to speak up. Not every kid can do that, regardless of the quality of their upbringing. Apparently there were other victims that weren't so lucky. I can teach my children as well as I can to protect themselves, but children can be very naive and some are easier to coerce.
These creeps are being persecuted for crimes which they were convicted of, not because of their race, gender, sexual preference, or party affiliation. Its a very different thing. I don't know how you could possibly relate them. This is California, not the 60's south! While I don't believe in physically harming them or their property, I have no problem making their lives more difficult.
I have absolutlely no sympathy for the creeps that perform illegal acts with children under 14. Apparently there's one just a block from my house, which I now know because of this site. Oh, and you know what? There's an elementary school close by, too! Now I'm not going to go posting signs demanding him to move, but I certainly won't let my son go play in his yard.
The website luckily differentiates between acts with children under 18 and children under 14. Anyone who takes advantage of someone under 14 deserves public humiliation. The perps should have known better. They don't deserve civil liberties any more. | |

| Other kids can be sex offenders as well just as easily. It happens all the time. Though like you all said it usually the family members or friends you have to watch out for.
