Women Against Registry advocates for the families who have loved ones required to register as sexual offenders.
According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s [NCMEC] last published figures, there are over 912,000 men, women and children (as young as 8 and 10 in some states) required to register.
The NCMEC has ceased publishing the number of registered citizens as it will soon top 1,000,000. The “crimes” range from urinating in public (indecent exposure), sexting, incest, mooning, exposure, false accusations by a soon-to-be ex-wife, angry girlfriend, or spiteful student, viewing abusive OR suggestive images of anyone 18 years old or younger, playing doctor, prostitution, solicitation, Romeo and Juliet consensual sexual dating relationships, rape, endangering the welfare of a child, the old bait-n-switch internet stings (taking sometimes 12 months before a person steps over the line), guys on the autism spectrum or with intellectual disabilities, and many others.
If you multiply the number on the registry by 2 or 3 family members, you can clearly see there are well over 3 million wives, children, moms, aunts, girlfriends, grandmothers and other family members who experience the collateral damage of being murdered, harassed, threatened, children beaten, having signs placed in their yards, homes set on fire, vehicles damaged, asked to leave their churches and other organizations, having their children passed over for educational opportunities, having flyers distributed around their neighborhood, wives losing their jobs when someone learns they are married to a registrant. Professionals indicate three things are needed for successful reintegration: a job, a place to live, and a “positive” support system.
The Supreme Court’s Crucial Mistake About Sex Crime Statistics – ‘Frightening and High’ (Debunks the 80% recidivism rate cited by now SCOTUS Justice Kennedy)
It is very important that you read the abstract and then the full 12-page essay Frightening-and-High-The-Supreme-Courts-Crucial-Mistake-about-Sex-Crime-Statistics-by-Ira-Mark-and-Tara-Ellman [of ACSOL].
The sex offender registry is the knee on my neck.
Every day, I struggle to freely breathe because of a law that condemns me and makes me an exile within my own community.
The fear of people finding out is crushing me and disabling me as well as the fear of somehow not being able to register.
Any goodness I have in life is always eclipsed by fear.
The policeman who arrested me made out a police report that was 85% false and then the assistant prosecutor forced my wife to keep her mouth shut when the truth was revealed or they would incarcerate me for life if she told that almost everything the policeman wrote were fabricated lies.
There was no violence whatsoever in what happened.
It’s been almost 20 years now since then.
I am still on the registry.
I am no danger to anyone, but every breath is one of fear and slavery to a law that I cannot escape from.
It is silently squeezing the life out of me even though I paid the due required by the sentence.
Society doesn’t care about me.
They want me to die, even though I already paid the price.
The registry may not be killing me in the direct sense, but it is killing my spirit and hope of life in this world, which is affecting me physically as well because the spirit and body are symbiotic.
What affects one affects the other.
There are many nights I go to bed hoping I will not wake up to another day of struggling to freely breathe in a world that does not want me and a law that is always threatening me because I am on the registry.
The registry is slowly and painfully choking the life I was given by God out of me.
The comments section is abysmal for this article. No one cares about facts. And they’re attacking Vicki Henry.
If everyone doesn’t like the lockdown, then it’s odd they can enforce the registry. Under the lockdown, everyone has the potentiality to give someone the virus. Potentiality, not actuality. It’s sad they can’t see the parallels. And now we know that COVID-19 has a lower death rate, but that death rate will affect those who are older or have weak immune systems greatly. But lockdown still continue in many states.
Has it been 5 years since “Frightening and High”? And not a peep of the debunking is utilized in courts or is made a proper citation in courts. Instead, we perpetuate a lie still.
The comments about pedilians and natizis were, umm, unique. 🤔 What next? Facismists? Terrorizians? Protestinians?
Now Will Allen I hope that soap didn’t get to you to much. So lets all get some facts about God and American Government. DID YOU KNOW when you enter the Supreme Court courtroom on the doors are ingraved the Ten Commandments.
E ven the walls display The Ten Commandments. Even walking up the steps are The Commandments of the Law Giver and yes Moses is holding the Ten Commandments. Also DID YOU KNOW jAMES MADISON, the father of the Constitution made the following statement. We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self–government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.
Even Patrick Henry a patriot and Founding Father of our country said, “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions byt on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Even every session of Congress began with a prayer since 1777. Even 52 of the 55 founders of the Constitution were memberes of the orthoxdix churches in the colonies.
Even Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would began making laws… an oligarchy…. the rule of few over many.
So than, how have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional. You know human government usurps Gods authority in a lot of ways. Should we seek a theocracy that reconstructs the dominion of theonomy? Is Government hindering others in all this registry ordeal. Seems Justice has gone down hill in so many ways and these internet operations are unconceivable or any poloice officer to even present those things to cause one to stumble. Is this a nation of unrest in Justice for all.
In a lot of this internet sexting or sting operations I would like to clarify myself a bit. Many of these issues are intimidating factors via this computer in many ways when adults go to adult websites.Issues come up and somethings so not add up if we are all sinners. And yes we are all sinners. In other words these ministers of Justice are presenting a stumblingblock on the person with a weak conscience and therefore violating it all in the name of presenting themselve as a fictitous teenager, or to clean up the internet or this sex trafficking as they say with these ordeals. Very cunning and crafty.
Intimidating ones conscience or searing with this type of ruse is using the sword of Justice in the wrong way and also by bearing false wittness. Public safety or trapping one up is like taking advantage of another and all in the name of public safety. So this is a conbination of listening and understanding. I hope Janice can correct me on this as we all learn to grow in wisdom, understanding and truth. Remember Jesus is God incarnate.
Seems this goes deep in the Justice catagory as we are all under grace and truth, and yet we all strive and press on with much of this offender ordeal upon our shoulders. I’m in agreement with all on here that much of this registrry needs to be banished as authorities seem to overthrow in their vain ruse and its so demoralizing.
Is there any class action suits being filed in Texas to abolish the registry ? I would like to get more info on how to get a ruling like Michigan to get rid of the registry,esp for cases prior to 2011 . Any info is appreciated
