NY: Mom Believes She Must Helicopter if Lowest-Level Sex Offenders Come Off Registry After 20 Years

Admin

FreeRange Kids: Here in my state, something wildly fair is about to happen: People who have been on the Sex Offender Registry for 20 years, who GOT ON the list for a “Level 1” non-violent sex crime like going to a prostitute, “public lewdness,” or peeing in public, are finally going to be allowed to get off it. Full Opinion Piece

Lenore Skenazy is the author of the web blog Free-Range Kids. She was a speaker at the 2014 RSOL Conference in Dallas. My Interview in Salon about Sex Offenders & Child Safety on her blog.

The news media really needs to get their facts straight before they go out interviewing people that so devoid of the facts that they can only be called willingly stupid; as are most reporters. I marvel that nobody has called the ignorance of news reporters to them and urged them to look at the truth/facts.

People that think everything they are told is fact have fools knowledge. I think they are too lazy to check and see if what they are being told is in fact correct and true.

Oh, by all means, keep everyone on the Registry FOREVER and be sure NOT to list their offense(s). Then, any truly dangerous individuals can hide among the many and there will be no way to identify them! Good thinking!
(Yes, I am being sarcastic!)

I’m sure Chief Phelan would also agree that we ought to have a violent police offenders registry. After all, I don’t see how it would harm them in any way, they would be free to come and go like any citizen of the United States. We would need to keep them on it for more than 20 years, because then we can monitor them and know where they are. It would be a good law.
