Sex Offenders & More Missed Signals

To many of these types and to few resources trying to keep tabs on all of them. Maybe a labor camp in a remote area is in order. And for the ones that commit serial offenses against children: do what the Saudis do, off with their heads.

Many states have different levels of sex offenders, yet they are mandated to moniter all on the same level...

Why are these people ever let out??? obviously, no authority feels they should check on them, and when they do it is so haphazard that they seem not to really care-it's just hteir job to look. CHANGE IT!!!

I agree something has got be done sex offenders should be locked up forever and the key thrown away. Better yet cut the sucker off. A SEX OffENDER who would hurt children none of them should never be let out ever let them rot they are not even human. Make a special presion for them lock them up and forget about them until the day that they DIE. Why do we let this happen can no one stop them? What do we need to do to prevent this? Do we have the means or the resources to do it? Or do we have to go back to the old way of doing things VIGILANTE STYLE looks like it's the only way hunt them down and get rid of them no will miss them I sure won't I hate the stinking rat bastards. Get rid of all of them

A friend of mine, told me a story where
a 18 month old girl was placed in the
custody of her father,he is a convicted sex offender, this happened in Michigan, as I was told, the Judge is a friend of the family. Does any on know
where the mother can get some help, she is at her witts end.

women's rights today vs ten years ago is slipping downward. on the news everyday we hear about how women are being raped, beaten, kidnapped and murdered. female children as well. father's running their own children over, beating them, throwing them out on the street..... females are not seen or appreciated as an equally important contributor to life. that's the real problem and our 'political system' reflects this societal attitude. i as a woman refuse to be treated like a piece of nothing and other women need to do the same.

Give them Life instead of letting them out, Child Molesters should get the death penalty and that would solve both problems before long, Because it's repeat offenders in almost all cases and they don't deserve a second chance after they cross that line, And this would keep thousands more from crossing the line, I have a little Grandson and I don't want these people around him, If You want to babyset these people then go ahead and keep the system in place that's not working, But We have a Choice!!!

I agree something has to change in the system.. I have fallen victim to the break in the system, but under different circumstances. We bought our first home and did'nt research the registered sex affenders in the area. If we would have we would have found out before our purchase that OUR HOME was built by a registed affender ! Needless to say we did'nt research because our home is 1 block from the elem. and middle school ! And now he is living as our neighbor in another home that he built . Safety of children at schools and family's are not monitored enough, researched or enforced !

As a survivor of an armed robbery, kidnapping & rape - I believe that all convicted sex offenders should have a GPS chip surgically implanted deep within their thoracic cavity, whereby authorities will know where they are at all times. When you are a convicted felon, especially of such an horrendous crime - you have no rights. In fact, I believe you should never be released back into society. The scumbag that attacked me was out on parole, had 9 yrs left to serve on a current sentence, and had been previously convicted of the armed robbery & kidnapping 3 times prior. These perverts cannot be "rehabilitaed" and they will not comply with the terms of their release. Therefore, GPS tracking is a logical alternative.

Sex offenders with more than one conviction definitely ought to be put to death. There is nothing "merciful" about releasing these horrific criminals back into our society, especially when it seems every one of them is a repeat offender. There is nothing "merciful" about our tax dollars going toward keeping them alive in prison either, especially when there are more productive things this country ought to be spending its money on. If the death penalty is too expensive, we ought to consider how priceless a young girl or boy's purity is. I can buy a good rope at the hardware store for a few bucks, and it is reusable. Tougher penalties (ie actual justice) for these wretched crimes cause their occurrence rate to dramatically diminish.

Another media broadcast creating hysteria and fear about registered sex offenders without looking real facts and statistics.

You, your spouse or your child could easily be stigmatized Sex Offender in America today.
RSOL of Virginia

I am in total agreement that these individuals get off way too easy. My son was molested by an individual who is now a Registered Sex Offender. He was convicted and on probation. If it wasn't for the Registry, no one would know; and the ones who know he is on the web, he has told them the charges were bogus and dropped! They cannot be trusted and need to be constantly monitored. Our children are too precious for these monsters!

Sex Offenders who commit crimes against Children do not have any rights!! Any other criminal on probation has no rights! A Sheriff or Probation Officer has the right to walk in & look arond any time they want to with a Probationary member! What makes a Sex Offender any different from any other criminal?? I will tell you, they have crimes against our children, & NO ONE should get another chance to hurt children more then they already have!! Sex Offenders HAVE NO RIGHTS, PERIOD!!!

NO ONE can be rehabilitated without excellent rehabilitation programs to attend while they are incarcerated. Serving prison time alone does NOT serve to rehabilitate. I know, that was my career. I worked inside prisons for 11 years. The only time prison is a deterrent is when the person thinking about committing a crime actually believes they will be caught. The criminally minded lack that thought process.

We continue to do the same thing in this country, over and over again expecting a different result. The one thing I will agree with here is that, yes, we DO need a change.

The only way we will make any difference is to THROW OUT the Adam Walsh Act and go back to risk assessments. Risk assessments need to be performed BEFORE the judge sentences the convicted. If the judge knows he's dealing with a diagnosed (which believe it or not is extremely rare) pedophile, or sexual predator, then they are going to be able to give the appropriate sentence at that time. Unless we do this, things are not going to change.

In this country we do NOT incarcerate people forever, based on what we think they MIGHT do. If that becomes the case, EVER, we will ALL be in deep ####. Believe me, you do NOT want that.

Had Garrido or Sowell either one, been appropriately assessed before they were sentenced, Jaycee Dugard and the women Sowell killed would have stood a good chance of escaping such nightmares.

Oh yeah, and lets not exaggerate here. The author of this writing that we are responding to, should realize that this story is horrendous enough. They found 11 bodies in Sowell's house, NOT "scores".

While I understand the outrage over the tragedy in Cleveland, I also believe that you must personally take charge of your own life to promote safety for yourself and others. Did it occur to anyone in the area to periodically check the sex offender website to see if any neighbors were listed? It's easy to blame the parole officers or even the justice system for allowing sex offenders to walk the streets. However, the real blame belongs to the local governments who cut budgets and don't allow for proper supervision of these violent offenders. It takes much more than 8 agents to supervise hundreds of sex offenders and among those offenders are other criminals who are on parole. Cleveland needs to find the money to employ the correct ratio of agents to parolees and retrain their staff to properly supervise offenders. When agent caseloads are so taxed that supervising becomes a peek and a promise to follow up, the bottom eventually falls out and that's what happened in Cleveland.

One agent can only cover so much area and in doing so while being short-handed only promotes lax supervision of offenders. Oftentimes it becomes who is the lesser of the evil and the compliant offender gets by showing up for appointments and reporting any changes and all while committing more crimes under the guise of being compliant.

Like it or not, and I don't, but sex offenders have rights too; the right to privacy and the right to carry on their lives even as despicable as their lives may be.

Vigilantism is not the answer either. The only thing that could be accomplished by ranting and physically harming someone is sitting in jail possibly next to another sex offender who's very being would only drive you to do worse.

Come on Cleveland – let's get this right and spend the money to provide a safe community for all law-abiding citizens who pay the good salaries to those of you who compromise the safety of it's own citizens. The next time you slash cash from your budget cut your fancy fleets of official business cars, dinner/lunch meetings, conferences/travel, non essential staff, and extravagant office supplies. Spend your resources where it counts; keeping your citizens safe!

Of the almost 700,000 regitered offenders, <1% are the violent headline making kind. Teenagers having consensual relationships at 15-17 have had their own "pure" lives shattered. The registries wer made for dangerous deviants, not normal teenagers. Please see ####.org for real expert statistics& horror stories about real people--I lost my son last August and it started with the fear of sex offender consequences. He was caught in a "he said-she said" at 19(she was 16)He had a 4 year-old son and was a nurse and never was convicted of any crime.

No one wants the dangerous disturbed predators and pedophiles loose on society. Of the almost 700,000 registered sex offenders, less than 5,000 fit that category. A judge and psychologist can classify an offender and place him on the registry or never release him.Most of the people placed on sex offender registries are non violent offenders who have NOTHING to do with children. If Bobby(18) takes Sally(16) to the prom and they fool around afterward consensually, should Bobby be placed on the sex offender registry for life? It happens thousands of times over each year. Many otherwise innocent young men's lives are ruined and there have been hundreds of suicides.see ####.org and if you have a teenage son PRAY!!!

Sex offender laws to need to be changed. Violent or deviant pedophiles and predators need to be locked upor hospitalized and severly monitored and treated. The sex offender registries contain people who urinated in public, or were streaking as well as teenagers consensually exploring sex without harm to anyone. Pare down the registry to the type of dangerous criminal that the original"Megan's Law" sought to register, not teenage boys and girls fooling around!

it is true, sex offender laws go too far. there are unfair and that is why there are so many out there on-ne can keep track of them. the law does not separate the teenager having consensual sex with an underage partner, from animals like sowell of garrardo. my grandson is one of thousands of youths sitting in overcrowded prisons because he had consentual sex with his underage girlfriend. he will be wear the label of sex offender for 25 yrs to life.
is this fair ?it is all wrong. go to ####.com and sign a petition to stop this injustice.
