Perhaps as a sop to feminists, these measures are irresponsible and undermine those who have been victimized in authentic sexual offense crimes.Save Lake View YMCA Housinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579278145210880780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361358365193630538.post-44949500373661411382009-04-16T19:35:00.000-07:002009-04-16T19:35:00.000-07:00My very highest praise to the Judge!! We have bec...My very highest praise to the Judge!! We have become a nation of people in a frenzy to punish sex offenders, even young people who make a mistake and serve their time, and then must register for life! Young men who have sexual contact with a female under 16 are required by the Adam Walsh Act to register on the sex offender registry for LIFE!!! Only dangerous offenders should be required to register. It is barbaric to make the others. I heard about a young man who in his early twenties was looking at some child (13 year olds) porn and is now on the registry for life, but where are the murderers, the drug dealers, the thieves?? Where does it stop? Pretty soon, everyone who ever made a mistake will be on some "registry". Millions of Americans have made mistakes which could land them on some "registry", but they have changed. Even a violent offender is very unlikely to seek a child nearby to prevent discovery. Please, please fight any law or court decision which demands such cruel and unusual punishment".JUNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455447426919396405noreply@blogger.com
