Last year in our area three kids were run down and killed in crosswalk by a drunk driver on Halloween. So why are bars open on Halloween? Why is alcohol served on Halloween? I mean, it is all about protecting the children right? I don’t know of any people on the registry EVER having harmed one trick-or -treeter on Halloween.
“The Registered Sex Offender (RSO) industry is worth billions of dollars. It depends on manipulating the public into thinking there are more dangerous people than there are; that they are all highly prone to re-offend; and that keeping track of them via a registry and restricted movements keeps us all safer.”

Bingo!
It’s good to see yet another article pushing the truth. Isn’t the same publication from whence frightening and high was later born?
Considering psychologists help promote the lies that landed us with so many absurd laws, it’s awesome to see this in Psychology Today! This article needs to be shared everywhere!
People don’t care about statistics about how their kid may be harmed. If they did, they would not dare allow their kid in a moving vehicle. They care HOW a kid may be harmed. People’s brains are wired so they confuse how intensely they fear an outcome with the likeliness of the event happening. I know, because I am like that. We are afraid of the dark, because it feels unfamiliar. You won’t have too much success making someone drop their fear of the dark, or of flying, or of a certain type of person by stating statistics. You can make the dark familiar by holding a trusted friend’s hand. Then the dark becomes more familiar, and the brain is calm enough for statistics.
