I'm pretty sure that registered sex offenders information is public knowledge, but that knowledge cannot be used for malicious purposes.

No,because, it is his or her against the abuser. You need more proof as such the abuser's past and his pattern of behavior such as he or she has molested children. Sometimes, the e-mail contact between them can proof in the court of law, at the same time you do have to listen to children, they seldom lie or dishonest. An expert can evaluate children as well. You  can observe the children behaviors that show the sign of withdrawn,shame,quiet and unhappy because, the abuser are threaten to harm the children' s family. The impact of child molester can lead the children into drug,alcohol, and sex additive.You need to document the time and event as the children recall from their memories. In addition, you need to analyze the children also and make sure they are not victim of divorce parents. Well I urge you to dig deeper and deeper and You will be surprise about people at 21TH century. Good luck.

usually not that would be a breach of privacy unless they are a sex offender... the police have access to that info but they can not release it to the general public

There are more unconvicted pedophiles walking about and working in the school system unbeknownst to anyone.  Although convicted, rights are still granted to them with strict rules about distance to children, etc.  Each city and state makes those laws, so I would encourage you to seek legislation about the matter depending on where you live.  In my opinion, pedophiles should be inhumanely sent to an island in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a volleyball for a companion.

The school's obligation to protect each of its students far exceeds its obligation to protect an individual student's privacy.  The locker does not belong to the student; it is the property of the school which gives the school every legal right to search it.  Further, school officials also have the right to bring in drug dogs and to search the property of the student (backpacks, clothes etc.) if there are grounds to do so.  Students should stop whining about the "invasion of their privacy" and thank the school for caring enough about their safety to conduct these searches.

There are lots of possibilities. In all of my explanations below, I leave out information that doesn't apply to children, as the statutes aren't written separately.\n\n1)Sexual exploitation of a child applies when someone performs a sexual act (ma$turbates, touches genitals, or commits an act of sexual penetration) or exposes his or her genitals, anu$, or breasts in front of a child, knowing the child can see, OR entices or coerces a child to remove his or her clothing for purposes of sexual gratification. This is a Class A misdemeanor for first offense, Class 4 felony for following offenses, and Class 4 offense if the child is under 13.\n\n2)Criminal sexual assault applies when someone commits an act of sexual penetration with someone who was "unable to give knowing consent," which applies to all children under 17 (the age of consent), or if the person was under 18 and a family member, or the person was 13 or more, but under 18, and the attacker was in a position of authority or trust. This is a Class 1 felony.\n\n3)Aggravated criminal sexual assault requires that the crime qualify as criminal sexual assault first. This applies if the accused is under 17 and the victim under 9, or if the accused was under 17 and the victim between 9 and 13 and force was used. This is a Class X felony.\n\n4)Predatory sexual assault of a child applies when someone over 17 commits an act of sexual penetration with a child under 13. This is a Class X felony.\n\n5) Criminal sexual abuse applies if someone commits an "act of sexual conduct" (sexual act except penetration) with someone "unable to give knowing consent" (again, applies to all minors). Also, if the accused is under 17 and the victim between 9 and 17, this applies. Finally, if someone commits an act of sexual penetration with someone between 13 and 17 and is less than 5 years older than that person, it is criminal sexual abuse. This is a Class A misdemeanor for the first offense and Class 2 felony for subsequent offenses.\n\n6) Aggravated criminal sexual abuse requires that it qualify as criminal sexual abuse. It is aggravated if any of the following apply: the victim was under 18 and a family member of the accused, the accused was 17 or over and the victim under 13, the accused 17 or over, the victim between 13 and 17, and force was used, the accused was under 17 and the victim under 9, or the accused was under 17, the victim between 9 and 17, and force was used. Also, if someone commits an act of sexual penetration with someone between 13 and 17 and is at least 5 years older, it is aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Finally, if a person in a position of trust or authority commits an act of sexual conduct with a child between 13 and 18, it is aggravated criminal sexual abuse. This is a Class 2 felony.\n\nTbere are other statutes, which may apply.

There is no specific right to privacy granted in the constitution. Rather, the Supreme Court has ruled that it is implicit in the "penumbras" of the various amendments. Concurring opinions referred to the ninth amendment which says that rights not explicitly given in the constitution to the people are not to be denied them as well as the 4th and 5th amendment requirements of due process. The main case establishing this precedent was Griswold v. Connecticut, in which the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional a law banning contraceptives.

I was molested by a cousin when I was 7 I didn't tell someone till I was 14. Please don't wait. These perverts could be out hurting other children. If you can't tell her write it in a diary and leave it in plain view. If you have kind of mother that's a little nosy, she'll read it and she will come to you. Or just write her a letter telling her what happened and how hard it was to tell her to her face. Getting these people off the street will help you feel better.

Of course you can be prosecuted.  You have no expectation of privacy when in a public place and clearly visible (such as through a window).  No expectation of privacy means no violation of privacy.

This isnt a civil rights issue, but one of privacy.  His right to privacy was violated if the teachers told students things that they weren't at liberty to discuss.

Pedophiles shouldn't be permitted to walk at all.   They should have their spines snapped and forced to crawl like the low life scum that they are.

What business is it of yours to invade someone's private life?  We are told there is a right to privacy, at least according to Roe that protects that right from other people's prying eyes.

A bunch of sick perverts who want to molest kids and think that it should be legal for men to love boys.  What they seemingly don't realize is that the love they want is really the freedom to molest kids, since their "love" is one sided.  I doubt those boys want molested.

Contact your local police department most will work with you to set up a trap for these people...especially if they are local to you.\nKeep all IM's,emails,if there are phone calls document them.\nMost areas do accept those who trap pedophiles in court.\nThere is a web site with this information on it I do not remember it for sure but I believe it is www.protectkids.com or www.protectkids.org

Jeezzz...that's alarming.  first go online and check out megan's law.  see if he's registered.  if you already know, call your local authorities and ask them what they think about the situation.  also call any child protection agency and alert them, ask them what they think.  and you can do this all anonymously. You can also contact any state or nation-wide organizations that work with protecting children.  it's good that this child has you watching out for them.  good luck with this.  it can be a dicey thing to interfere on behalf of someone else even if it's the right thing to do.   just make sure you're absolutely sure and all your 'ducks' are in a row so to speak, legally.  \n\npeace.
