That is what has been happening, and that is why <B> everybody</B> should be concerned. <BR/>The lessons of history tell us that first the despised have their rights taken away, then the rest slowly lose their rights as well.<BR/>This is not so much about sex offenders as it is about power. And it is not about children at all, or the people in charge would want to know what works, not just what sounds good.<BR/>If you have been paying attention to this issue, you already know that the recidivism rate is low for sex offenders, according to the US Department of Justice. You probably already know that Iowa is having a real increase in sex offenders "disappearing off the radar", a result of their residency restrictions, among other things. <BR/>So, why pass more legislation that does no good and may cause harm to communities and the children in them?<BR/>The only reason I can see is political expediency.<BR/>And that is no way to run a government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-50952620073056012412008-10-10T16:06:00.000-05:002008-10-10T16:06:00.000-05:00What about the children who get tangled up in thes...What about the children who get tangled up in these laws that are suppose to keep children safe? There is a story about a thirteen year old boy close to Dallas who was sent a nude pic of a class mate and now he has to register. What about the children? Some as young as 8. How can they be classified as a sex offender? www.rickyslife.com www.ethicaltreatment.org<BR/>Please read and educate your children and yourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-38897109020467748912008-10-10T08:53:00.000-05:002008-10-10T08:53:00.000-05:00It isn't just he mandatory minimums that one needs...It isn't just he mandatory minimums that one needs to pay attention to in "jessica's law'. One needs to also bring to light all of the expost facto issues dressed up to look like public safety rules and laws. <BR/><BR/>The real problem here, is the continued appropriation of these bills into law not only violate someone's life after they have served their sentence, but also lays out a framework for legislative bodies to follow when they find a new red-headed step child they want to rip civil rights away from. Now it is sex offenders, tomorrow, it could be DUI offenders, or sidewalk spitters (that is an extreme example folks, but it a valid idea).<BR/><BR/>What next, they cannot get gun control laws passed, so lets put up a gun owners registry? It was my belief that forgiveness was in some book somewhere, and you hear about it in most other cases, even for murder...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
