sex offender question?
372300
First off let me say that I have never sexually abused anyone but I was sexually molested 2 times as a child. Now, to answer your question. If I was to abuse someone sexually, then ya, it maybe could have made a difference because I had it done to me and sometimes the cycle never ends. That is the same way with mental or physical abuse, someone has to end the cycle. I would never do this to another person because I know what it is like to have it done and I would never wish that on another person, never! It is painful, scary, and it haunts you for the rest of your life. Hope this helps.

Please tell me what he is bragging about? Do you realize there are single parents, who rehabilitated former sex offenders? They have as much right as you do to make sure their children are getting a good education. They have as much right as you do to attend the play, concert or sporting event their child is in. \n\nOne of you said something about the other children in the school being a temptation. I guarantee you that they are more of a temptation to an offender that hasn't been caught and hasn't gone through sex offender treatment therapy than the registered offender has.\n\nYour child has more chance of being harmed sexually by a relative, a close friend of the family, teachers, coaches, scout leaders, bus drivers, etc than they have of being harmed by a rehabilitated former sex offenders. 90 to 95% of sex offenses are committed by someone known to the child and to the family. You need to educate your child about good touch/bad touch. You need to teach your child that NO ONE, not even another child is to touch their private parts. You need to teach them to NOT talk to strangers. The main thing you need to teach them is that if anyone, including and most especially, someone known to them, ever touches them they need to tell you immediately. Get through to them that they will not be harmed for telling, but they will not be put through this again. Also, let them know that you won't be harmed because they told. Let them know that the person who offended did wrong and must pay his/her debt to society for that act. Make it plain to them that they are NOT the one that did something wrong, the adult or the other child is. Yes, there are children on the registries. However, I feel many times, with the younger ones this is normal child exploration the courts feel differently. There are 6 and 7 year olds on the registry in KY for checking each other out. Also, if your child is ever offended, please get counselling for them. This is highly important. \n\nI was molested twice as a child. I have forgiven the two that offended me. I am a survivor and I detest the word victim. Make sure your child knows that they are a survivor, they are strong because they did the right thing and let you know. Keep their self esteem  as high as you can by letting them know they are a survivor and not a victim. \n\nThe MOST IMPORTANT thing is that you supervise your children constantly. You don't let them go out to play alone. You don't let them go bike riding alone. Just think what you and your child can do together in that respect. You are enjoying time together while you are both getting excercise.\n\nI am the Mother of three and the Grandmother of 4. My children didn't leave my site and the two grandchildren I am now raising do not leave my site. It may bug them, but at least I know they are safe.

THE TERM *SEX OFFENDER* MEANS THAT THEY HAVE HURT ANOTHER PERSON IN A DEVIOUS WAY. THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY EXISTS FOR A REASON:BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE THAT COMMIT *SEX OFFENDER* ACTS RE-OFFEND. TELL A MOTHER OF A 12 YEAR OLD THAT THE OFFENDER HAD ALREADY BEEN CONVICTED OF A SEX CRIME AND WAS *REHABILITATED* WHILE THE MOTHER IS HOLDING HER HAND AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

Just to play the devil's advocate...doesn't it depend on the circumstances?  What if the abuser was 15 years old and it was a one time thing?  Are we really going to say that this person will always be attacted to children and never change?  Are we really going to just throw our hands up in the air and tell that person there is no hope and - as one person put it - he should be shot on the spot?  I think the people that cannot be rehabilitated are the most serious offenders, those are the ones to be concerned about.  My experience in psychology tells me that people can change.  Not everyone, of course, but some can.  It's ignorant to think that all sex offenders are exactly the same.

Anyone who sentences a sexual offender to anything but a very long(preferably life) sentence needs to be off the bench. But giving someone who molested a child probation ? Disgusting.\n\nAnd he has a few DUI's to boot.

First of all try to realize there are many more sex offenders who have never been caught and are not registered. You may live near or work with one and not even know it. Try not to become a vigilante in your frenzy to protect children.\n\nA registered offender can be designated as habitual or non-habitual, and aggravated or non-aggravated. Perhaps this is what that listing is referring to.\n\nDepending on the state you live in, being registered does not necessarily mean they cannot be with children, especially if they have finished their probation. Mostly it limits how close to a school they can live based on their offense.\n\nIf you go out of your way to make life more difficult (than it already is) for this person, it will only increase his chances of re-offending.

go online to get the internet web page of your local police, sheriff's office or state police.\nIn my state we go to the sheriff's office site and then put in the name or address or zip code and all the sex offenders including address and pictures come up.\n\nif they say you can not have this information contact your State Representative and ask them to put a BILL in for the safety of the citizens not the criminals.

You don't unless someone asks. If you bring it up, it will sound like you are "Protesting too much"\nIf you're antsy to get the air cleared, bring up a relevant news story and use that as a reason to express your views on the issue.\nBut when you say "Sex Offender" I hope you mean child molesters and actual predators, not the poor high school senior dating a sophmore,the 19 year old schmuck who lost his head over girl 2 months from the age of consent or the guy who got in a world of trouble over some experienced little hottie who lied about her age, it happens more than you might think that the only thing a guy did wrong was not ask for identification or make the mistake of turning 18 before his high school sweetheart turned 16. And then there is the married couple who gets nailed for "Lewd and Lascivious Conduct" because they were busted by a park ranger fooling around on a camping trip, 8 miles in, and a mile off the trail....in Texas, a person can be charged with a sexual offense for purchasing or owning certain, commonplace "adult toys"\nAll molesters, predators and actual rapists are sex offenders, but not all sex offenders are monsters... you gotta look at the actual crime, not the label.

The justice system is so royally screwed up that I sometimes wonder if we might even be better off without one at all.\n\nAs someone who was abused by a sexual offender in the past, I would love to know why the accused offenders are getting more sympathy than the victims? That's no different than how the system currently works. Some officials won't believe a kid no matter what they say so the offender is never tried for their crimes and continues to do it.

Let me get this straight.  You married a sex offender who committed some offense against you.  You had three children with him.  Now he is arrested (for the offense against you?), and supposed to get treatment before he can see his children.  Your children.  Now, are you saying he has not gone to the treatment, and is therefore not allowed to see his children?  Your children?\n\nI suppose you may feel shafted, but it sure sounds to me like you were at least as much a volunteer as a victim.  I think you'd better have a long talk with the counselor you were undoubtedly assigned when all this came up in court.

What was his offense? It's pretty easy these days to become a "Registered Sex Offender"... I know one guy who wound up charged with sex crimes when "Drunk in Public" would have been the appropriate charge...he urinated in public (the parking lot) and did not zip back up... and now must register as an SO for the next 5 years... all I'm saying is that there may be more to the story and this guy may not be any danger at all, to anyone...If the dad truly should be kept away from his daughter, she should contact a victim's rights advocacy group for advice.
