I have a small issue with sex offender lists. They make no distinction between teens who are in Romeo and Juliet situations and violent offenders. Mistakes are rampant, names are sometimes wrong, the true locations of offenders are not revealed...there have been issue after issue with these lists. Some that have ruined the lives of innocent people. (Please save the that's the price you pay crap cause it is crap) It's a NIMBY issue...the trouble is...if you are going to let people who are sex offenders out of jail they have to live somewhere right? When you have situations where the law has so limited the places that former sex offenders can live you end up with situations like the mess where sixty plus offenders are living under an overpass. While I have little sympathy for most of these folks that is a situation ripe with potential violence to innocent people. I know a young man who is on the sex offenders list. His crime? Smartening up and breaking an engagement to his high school sweetheart. Her vengeance? Charges that they were intimate before she was old enough to legally consent. He was older than she. He is on this list, has lost jobs and scholarships, been threatened and harressed when he attempted to move and now as a thirty year old happily married father of two he cannot attend his children's school activities. All I am saying is...think twice before grabbing the pitch fork and the torch. damn I was just gonna say that and you said it better never mind |

I'm glad they started adding the offense to the details of these lists. At least we can attempt to distinguish between the real threats and the stuff mentioned above.
I know you will keep watch over these small children.......

OK...the recent stories about sex offenders reminded me to do a search. In Texas (not sure about other states) you can look online for registered sex offenders. https://records.txdps.state.tx.us/DPS_WEB/SorNew/PublicSite/Search/index.aspx?PageIndex=Search&SearchType=Address I found out there is one that just moved in with his parents ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME. He was convicted of raping a 5 yr old boy. my son and nephew are older and over 6 feet tall. this guy is shorter than me...so I know they could handle him. but we have kids that play in the street here. It's bad enough the parents don't watch the kids (who could get hit by cars) but now this. Have they "served their time" and should they live normal lives or should people be aware of where they are? Depends on the sex crime, the age and the circumstance. If there was sex with a child under oh...13, I have to say he needs watching that is...if he was an older man and the child was of course that age. Sex offenders are all types. One can't always find out what the exact charge was. Sometimes it is as simple as him being a 16 yr old boy and she being younger. A parent gets mad and brings charges and he lives the rest of his life as a sex offender. Rape is another. I think they need to have much help and be left away from kids forever unless they can be proven to be ok. Thing is; most men who sexually abuse kids or women rarely learn. They just become sneakier or worse than before. Kat |

I have also gone into the sex registry site and found many. But, it was too vague with the details.
