Four middle school kids facing CP charges. Another example of how giving your kids “Smart” phones can be really dumb.

Minors have been having sex for let’s see, um thousands of years, and now we will ruin your life if you ever possess any physical evidence (pics, videos) of it.

Whenever I get a compliance visit…I always wonder how many of them are unregistered sex offenders (like how many of them had sex with somebody under the age of 18 when lets say they were 18 or 19).
Also wonder how many of them have teenagers with smart phones with CP on them.

This should probably go under June comments but…it’s June and the clock is on for the WAR lawsuit to be filed. Excited to see what they argue.

I am on parole and recently discovered that my STATIC-99 risk assessment has me listed in a higher risk category because it erroneously states my victim wasn’t related to me. How (or who) can I go about filing a 602 appeal form with to amend this issue.

This has become all the more imperative because my housing restrictions were increased due to this error, as well the fact that the pending tiered registry bill may affect which tier I am placed in.

I am still so confused about IML.
Is it considered to be implemented?
Is it being enforced? by who?
Has anyone been charged for violating it? Convicted?
I am traveling to Europe in 23 days. Presumably I can find a 21 day notice form on line somewhere.
Can I fill it in online? If not, who do I send it to? ICE? DOJ? My local sheriff here in California?
Thanks to whoever knows this stuff and can help me.
