OS moment. Sex Offenders

I came home today and found something weird. A Kentucky State Police flyer with photograph of a registered sex offender that now lives in my neighbourhood. Upon checking, there are two registered sex offenders in a few blocks of me. The flyer gave me the photograph, name, DOB, residence and that the offense was against a victim less than 12 y/o. I was surprised. I also was glad to know.
 
There're sex offenders, and then there're sex offenders.

I do criminal appeals, so I see a lot of folks who have to register who are maybe not the bogeymen you might imagine. And some who are.

You might look try to look up the facts of your new neighbor's case to see if it helps you learn which sort he might be.

In any event, it must at least be good to have been notified.
 
The state of Oregon, home of a child molestor ex-governor (or was it mayor?) won't put the names up.

Privacy issues you know :barf: .

And our "great" ( :barf: ) governor now is so stupid that he won't push for one even though we're having trouble with this kind of thing.

I have a dumb question here.

What is a "registered sex offender" and why do we have them.
What reasion do we as a nation, and as a comunity allow some one that feeds on children to walk around our streets as long as there "registered"
It shows how stupid our nation has become and the liberal puck lawyers have brough us down.
There is only one way to take care of some one with the tytle of "registered sex offender" and that would be to KILL them. No long drawn out trial, no 20 years in jail for apeal, KILL them.
KILL them all.
If you dont agree with this attatude, its your right, but if you agree that they should be alowed to walk the streets, as long as there "registered sex offender" YOU are as bad as they are.
 
My wife is a psychologist. Hell, she has two PhDs, which begs the question "why is she with me?" I digress. Anyway, she repeatedly tells me that sex offenders will NEVER change. It is a part of them. Normally it is associated with they being molested as children. So it perpetuates. But know this, if you have one in your community, they are always fighting the urge to molest again, or they gave up that fight and are back to their old ways. Sort of like being a recovering alcoholic. You're never over it, but always fighting the urge. There are some that know who they are, and never want to leave prison beause of that urge. They know they'll strike again. What's your point Beavis?: Always keep an eye on these people. All families should know and be informed.
 
Breacher is quite correct here. These people behave this way by design. Same with serial killers. Bear in mind that MOST mental diseases are largely incurable. Some can be controlled through medication. The extremes can only be controlled through incarceration(or as posted above). There is no way to change people like this. They cannot be "rehabilitated" or "reeducated" as they are not acting by choice. The types of "debts to society" they run up cannot be "repaid". Sad to say, but easily observable. Though I have one, one doesn't need a degree to observe and understand this. You could do far worse than to keep your head up and your eyes open. At least you know this "person" is in your area.

I had a friend tell me that we must stop the death sentance

The reasion is that it might kill an innocent person.
I answered that if one innocent person dies by mistake, just one, then at least we know that both of those poor girls in Florida this year would still be alive today. And for me its worth that risk.
I blame the corts and the lawyers that defend these people. Its not the fact that some of them are or possibly innocent, no its the fact that smart sleeze bag lawyers find ways of throwing out evedance, or loopholes in the law.
If a lawyer gets a child murder off and he kills again. He is as guilty as the person commiting the crime, and he the lawyer deserves the worst possible punnishment, totaly and completly.
Some people here have said that all child molesters are not all evil monsters, if they really feel that way, then they are monsters themselves and aprove of the act that the criminal commits.
Therefor in my eyes they are again as guilty as the murders.
 
There are a few sex offenders living in my nepfew's neck of the woods, like a block away. There are like 400+ in Niles Michigan alone.
 
I just checked the zip code for my 16 yr old daughter's school dorm in New Haven, CT. 162 perps in that zip alone.

In our home zip: dozens.

Good system we have. The poor perps rights trump innocent kids rights.

I told her tonight that I will overnight the strongest pepper spray I can find, along with a good book on its effective use. Can anyone recommend one?

Lycanthrope: Excellent point and one I would urge everybody to heed. I hate to admit that I watched Dr. Phil the other night on Larry King, but he mentioned that most molesters molest something like 50 kids before they got their first bust. Usually after that, they get caught a bunch, but KNOW WHERE YOUR KIDS ARE AT ALL TIMES!!!

Secondly, while I am somewhat loose on a lot of consensual crimes, I have no tolerance for crimes where the victim was a child. In those cases, I believe that they should recieve the death penalty, not for retribution, but because they aren't cured ever, they don't rehabilitate, and hence it is just cheaper on my nerves to execute them.

Another good point made is to check the registry to see if they're actually sicko's or if they were a 20 year old with a 17 year old girlfriend and an angry father.

This is a very good point. Like a number of other prohibiting laws, drugs, guns, liqour, tobacco, and food come to mind. There is a point at which the laws are written and passed not with calm, sober reflection but with sound-bytes and hysteria.

This does not mean that I condone any and all activities by these people but it does mean that I recognize that some of the activists for certain laws have other agendas in their activities. Therefore I will not make to many blanket statements.

I still remember the gal from the hills of Georgia telling me how she was a good girl and when she got all hot a bothered by her boyfriend they didn't have sex until they were married, a week after her 14th birthday and her first child before her 15th birthday. If her boyfriend was 19 would that make him a sex offender?

I would like to see some breakdown as to how these various people have been put on these lists as opposed to blanket hysterical statements.

For those who are true pedophiles, the only resonable, read best long term, option is imprisonment for life. While there is alot to be said about death and some have stated that they have no problem with a few innocents getting wasted I wonder if their opinion would change if bychance they wound up being sentenced in the dock. Note I did not say they were guilty but that circumstances led others to that belief.

The hardest thing about the Criminal Justice system is realizing that you have to make sure it does not railroad YOU!!!

If you are of that "Clouds in the Sky" mentality that you would never be involved in something like that, I only wish that you would contact me about options on oceanfront property around Dodge City, KS.
 
Sheesh.....I'm in the field. 1 in 4 women is the victim of a sexual assault.

Gentlemen, trust NO ONE and protect your babies.

I don't argue it. It just IS. Anything else is wasted breathe that I could use to fight it.
 
Lone Stranger:
My worry about the Horror stories I have knowlege of.

My ex-wife (may satan take her soul), accused the father of her first child of raping her. Turned out, it wasn't rape until after the child was born and he rejected the child. She was angry when she first got pregnant that he offered her only the money for an abortion and not to marry her and build a little pink house with a picket fence.

She also accused her father of molesting her as a child which is impossible because he wasn't around at the time she said she got molested. She's made a life of accusing nearly every man in her life of sexual assault when they made her mad. How I escaped that I don't know, but then- I don't know what she's saying behind my back.

In Texas, child molestation accusations were so commonly brought out only during custody cases and never charged criminally, that they made an accusation made during (and only during) a custody case inadmissible. It was the final trump card of a dead-beat woman to keep her kids when all else failed. Once an accusation like that comes out, it doesn't matter how void of evidence it is- no jury would take a chance and give the kids to the father.

I think that when accusations of molestation occur only in the context of a custody battle then the children should be given to CPS until the accusation is proven false. If a mother cannot call the police when she "discovers" abuse, then she doesn't deserve the children either.

I hear that the statutory rape stuff is rarely what gets somebody on the registered offender list here in Texas and my sister who is the publisher of a newspaper carefully combs the stories before she prints their pictures, addresses, cars, and workplace on the front page of her annual "know-your-neighbor" issue.
 
MATIS, get some Fox OC for your family, the 2 or 4oz can is about right & easy enough to carry. As for a book about using it, I don't know of any.
 
Oh, another suggestion: Call your local PD/Sheriff, whichever dept is responsible for checking up on the sex offenders in your area. If you have some NEAR you, inquire about how often they are checked for living at the listed address, making their expected report dates, etc. Ask if there have been any 'problems' with a given offender. At least my local PD was quite forthcoming with info on the pedophile down the road from my kidlets. I'm glad to know more about him, but I don't trust him...at all.
