They don't get better. It's not curable.

And why take the chance on the hit or miss....child molestation of any sort should get the same punishment as if you had murdered them...in all actuality...that IS what has happened! And some may say they get better...in my opinion...they simply didn't get caught again

She was so brave.

She did good.

death penalty?? jailed 4 life??? r u f-ing kidding me!! it costs like 22 cents for a freaking bullet! treat them like sick cattle! take them out back ad ****ing shoot their asses!!!



i feel very strongly about this bc my 10 year old sister was raped 2 years ago. i dont believe we should cut them any slack!!

there should be no bonding of this guy...he should remain locked up...on the other hand...where the hell are the parents of these kids while thier children are partying on friday and saturday nights with a sex offender???...i think the parents should be charged with child neglect in the same courtroom as the sex offender.

**Currently, there are no civil confinement laws in New York state. Sexually violent predators are released into our communities once their sentences are complete, which Assemblyman Barra feels are much too short, despite the fact that there is a strong possibility they may repeat their heinous crimes. Consider these statistics about sex offenders:

*60% of convicted sex offenders are on parole or probation.
The National Institute of Mental Health reports that a typical child offender molests an average of 117 children, most of whom do not report the offense.
Assemblyman Barra spends a day talking with local schoolchildren.

*A polygraph study found a sample of imprisoned sex offenders to have extensive criminal histories, committing sex crimes for an average of 16 years before being caught (Ahlmeyer, English, and Simons, 1999).
**A pedophile will not stop on his own, and will not turn himself in, because he does not take responsibility for his behavior and denies that he’s doing anything harmful. He will abuse until he’s caught.
*For every one offender in jail or prison, there are three sex offenders on parole or probation. (U.S. Department of Justice, 1997).
*Intensive supervision including the use of GPS monitoring devices for the most dangerous offenders is essential to monitor and control the whereabouts of the most dangerous sex offenders walking the streets.
*1-in-5 girls and 1-in--10 boys are sexually abused before they reach adulthood, but less than 35% of these sexual assaults are reported to authorities.
**Released rapists are 10.5 times more likely than non-rape related felons to be re-arrested for rape. Those who have served time for other sexual assaults are 7.5 times more likely than those convicted of other crimes to be arrested for a new sexual offense.

With all intended purpose of the very word, nothing is truly curable...just managed.

Either way there have been numerous cases in which a sex offender became a productive member of society upon release, so yes it can and does happen. I don't mean to be coming off in the wrong manner here, but I have researched this to a certain degree with my research of serial killers. The problem is that a lot of prison systems don't have active programs for sex offenders to attend, those that do actually have a very high turnaround.

Again, hit or miss...but it can happen: http://www.atsa.com/pdfs/Managing%20Sex%20Offenders%20in%20the%20Community-A%20National%20Overview-2003.pdf

There's an offender a block from me. He's older and served time for being with a child in his family.

The street won't let him join in on any block parties. The law won't let him give out candy on Halloween. My child has been warned to not go near that house!!!! I don't care if he took a program in jail. They don't work.

Sorry, that is a .pdf. Scroll down this link a bit until you hit the ATSA link: http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/3001.html

castration sounds like a good idea to me

I'm just stating facts as they are presented to me, through research...you know? The thing that takes a tad more than a quick google search...don't belittle me for that.

Belittle...not me...just asking you a question

naw twisted people deserve twisted punishment let me think for a minute put all the sex offenders in with a huge gay guy in prison thats mean lol turn them into the girlfreind

And as I said...why take the chance...this is not an accident or a mistake in life....this is something that someone wants to do and carries it out without any regard to anyone but themselves! AND..as I said...unless someone is with those that have "recovered" (sorry, still no such thing) 24 hours a day, seven days a week....how does anyone KNOW they have not offended again?

they should at the very least be required to have a sign visable on there place of residence stating that they are a sex offender

and then again you have cases like the 18 year old boy with the 17 year old girlfriend and he is labeled a "sex offender" for life

I am so sorry this happened to your sister. It happened to me when I was 7 and by not telling anyone (he threatened to kill my mom)...this gave him the opportunity to also rape my little sister when she turned seven...neither of us spoke up until he was dead, may he be burning in hell to this day

I'm just presenting facts, you can argue them until you are blue in the face but they still remain facts. Sex offenders DNA is placed into a registry that is held by the FBI, as soon as they offend again and the person they offended comes forth (the tricky bit) they get locked up again and another strike placed against them. Typically a second offense leads to a minimum of 15 years or so, with a max possibly being life depending on the severity of the crime.
