Let’s talk about sex (offenders)
Just got this announcement from the City Attorney’s office, in case you’re interested in how we handle the prickly matter what do to with convicted sex offenders:

CITY’S NEW CHILD PROTECTION ACT
Date and Time: Wednesday, March 19th, 1 p.m. – 3 p.m.

City Attorney Michael Aguirre is holding an educational community forum on the City’s new Child Protection Act, which makes it unlawful for registered sex offenders to reside within 2000 feet of certain places where children regularly gather and makes it unlawful for registered sex offenders to be within 300 feet of those locations. The panel will be discussing related issues and the City Attorney’s Office will be addressing the legal issues surrounding the ordinance. The City’s Child Protection Act was passed by the San Diego City Council on March 10, 2008.

- Laurie Fortin, LCSW, Clinical Director for the Forensic and Medical Services of Chadwick Center for Children & Families at Rady Children’s Hospital;

The educational community forum is free and open to the public. A request has been made to the Mayor’s Office for City TV 24 to broadcast live the community forum for those members of the public who are unable to attend.
Unfortunately these laws have major unintended consequences. Painting all people on these registries with the same brush as pedophiles and violent rapists will come back to bite us in many ways, First the Billions of dollars in tax payers money and in lives ruined,
Yes I know the law is the law but so it was in Nazi Germany and Stalin’s Russia and still is in Castro’s Cuba. Law without the benefit to re-enter society are fascists, pure and simple. I hate that word and hate seeing America go down that path which is based on myths and lies by the news media and politicians who are low in the polls.
Please visit my web site and tell me, “Is Ricky a Sex Offender?. What about your child?
Please sign a petition to pass Romeo and Juliet laws on Rickys behalf an dhundreds of other boys across this country http://www.rickyslife.com or email his mom at: a_political_prisoner@yahoo.com Lets take a stand against politicians and the destruction of lives for consensual sex amongst teens who consent
Who commits most sex crimes? Well, 95% of all new sex crimes are committed by those NOT on the registry. Family members and those known to the family commit 98% of all sex crimes. So much for stranger danger.
2nd question. Who is MORE LIKELY to committ a sex crime upon release from prison? Sex Offenders or NON-sex offenders?
For the answer, go here. http://www.cfcoklahoma.org and see the article, “Revisiting Department of Justice Recidivism Statistics and More Shocking Truths.”
States will spend millions for passing the AWA which is “doing more harm than good.”
Legislators need to consult the EXPERTS rather than pass knee jerk legislation that actually endangers children and the whole of society. I encourage everyone to write their law makers demanding they stop endangering children with knee jerk legislation and BRING IN THE EXPERTS.
“Maine is one of the few states that is going about this correctly. They are “LISTENING TO EXPERTS, rather than passing emotional knee jerk legislation which protects no one but endangers everyone. The vast majority of states have passed laws that “Do more harm than good.”
Protecting children and society must be done “intelligently.”
Here is a short “audio clip” referencing the issue in Maine.
