Ouch! Phyllis. lol

I hear alot of people talking about the rights of the child molestor's well I have one question. What about the rights of the children in the neighborhood don't they have rights as well? Why is it that if they commited the crime before 2003 they are allowed to live where they want and work where they want? They can even live in a house with 4 small children that are not theirs. Why are they being allowed to go to another child's bus stop and nothing be done about it ? Why does another child have to be hurt or endangered for someone to step up and say hey I've had enough?

I have read all these post and what i think is bad is when someone 21 is charged tried and convicted of child molestation because the girl he has sex with was 14 only has to spend 5 years in prison and then is let out and because he is no longer on parole and because it happened before 2003 in allowed to live in a house with 4 small children 3 of which are girls the oldest is almost 8 yrs old. This guy even tried to take the girl out of state but she got away and called her mom. Why is he allowed to go and do whatever he pleases just because it happened before 2003. To me a sex offender ( child molestor ) is just that and I think if they admit they did it they shouldnt be worried about their rights . what of the kids?

I don't think that there is enough education to teenagers about the dangers they face. This is directed at the 18 and 19 year olds who are now labeled sex offenders because one week ago they were sleeping with their 16 year old girlfriend and it was ok per the law. They turn 18 and now all of a sudden it is illegal.

Kids do not realize what they are getting themselves into. Their foolish act could change their life and they will be lumped in with the 40 year old who loves 8 year olds. These are acts are completely different.
