Law enforcement officials and researchers caution that the registries can play only a limited role in preventing child sexual abuse and stress that most perpetrators are known to the child. The U.S. Department of Justice, which oversees the National Sex Offender Public Website, estimates that only about 10 percent of perpetrators of child sexual abuse are strangers to the child.
The Justice Department estimates 60 percent of perpetrators are known to the child but are not family members but rather family friends, babysitters, child care providers and others, and 30 percent of child victims are abused by family members.
Let me reword this and see if it gives a different impact: 90% of persons who may potentially abuse your child are not on any registry. Of the 10% on the registry, so far to date, we have no accounts in the entire state of California of any child being abused Trick-or-Treating at the home of a person on the registry.
“Safety map.” What a joke.
Is this supposed to be some kind of minefield location map for all the “duds?” If so, let them waste their time, energy and efforts.
I’m sure all the “good guys” with a penis that don’t fall under one of those orange map pins are all deemed safe houses to visit!
