Your justification for saying that every sex offender has "ruined someone's life" would be what, exactly?
Leaving aside the fact that many people do care personally about the welfare of RSOs--their family, friends, and in many cases even victims--a society that sows the wind of cruelty and brutality will reap the whirlwind.
Correct. We have regressed 300 years with the RSO.
And when did we start calling sex with a child consensual?
When two 17 year old kids have consensual sex, it's consensual. What's so hard to understand about that? You like ruining their lives forever for having sex?
And by the way, millions of kids from every social group in America have sex. They just don't all get caught and prosecuted.
So your thinking is, if a 12 year old does not resist sexual advances, she is a willing participant? Do you think it is normal for someone to find a prepubescent child sexually attractive?
It's normal for teenagers to want to have sex and millions do it every year. Have you been living on Mars?
The worst ones are usually either kept in prison until they have the sex drive of a plate of cold spaghetti, or they haven't been caught at all yet. In any of those cases the registry is no help at all.
And the ones that dont fit that description should have a trap door open up underneath them so that they could fall into a big meat grinder and be done with. I am not sensitive to people that dont derseve to breath the same air as everyone else. Cruel and unusual...very...just the way it should be with these types of people.
The majority of registered sex offenders weren't convicted of anything involving children. Many of these offenders were convicted of behaviors which were totally non-violent and which were questionable as to their legitimate classification as sex crimes in the first place ("sexting", public nudity, consensual sexual contact between teenagers, etc.).
If someone has served their prison sentence, that should be the end of the matter unless they are psychologically incapable of safely being integrated into society again. If that is the case, they need to be confined until they no longer pose a danger to the public. These cases are rare. There are some state treatment programs designed for individuals who have finished their prison sentences. Unfortunately, these programs are often equatable with imprisonment itself.
If the idea is to protect society from violent sexual predators, we need to ask why dangerous individuals are released from confinement at all. We could just as easily ask that question concerning released criminals who were incarcerated for non sex-related crimes.
Our current fascination with sex offender registries is, for the most part, a result of repressed and unhealthy sexual attitudes meeting up with paranoia.
And some are on the list for reasons totally unrelated to sex.
THIS LAW RUINS LIVES and protects nobody.
Here is a good example;
New Jersey – Here’s a classic example of why some of us get a bit worried whenever laws named after children are passed. Two New Jersey teens were 14-years-old when they sat on the faces of 11-year-old and 12-year-old schoolmates, with their naked asses. Why? Because they are 14 and stupid. But because of Megan’s Law, these two teens will have to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives.
