Haunted Sex Offender

Trick or Treat. Haunted Houses. Candy and spooky outfits. It's what New Year's is for adults- neatly wrapped into a kids feast.
NJ is on track with issuing a curfew for their sex offenders- preventing them form being out, or opening doors to what could easily be their next victims. I take my kids. I can't imagine a parent letting any kid out alone in this day and age. But evidently it's not just the handing out candy part that sex offenders want to share in. Evidently they, or at least one sicko likes the haunted house part too.
Imagine, dark and scary. Monsters jumping out. A faint glow from a possessed pumpkin head. Blood dripping from the vampires fangs. A mummy slowly creeping up from behind. Cobwebs and spiders swaying close to your hair. The smell of a bonfire mixed with the musty smell of old decorations. Screams and shrieks of horror as the young ones make their way down the haunted corridor. Hazy reflections of something behind you in a broken mirror. Oh, and your local sex offender.

SEYMOUR, Ind. -- Police and child protection advocates say it is a bad idea
for a registered sex offender to live where his wife is operating a haunted
house that attracts children.
Ronald P. Cooley, 55, of Bobtown, has served
his time in jail, met his probation requirements and continues to register with
the state sex offender registry as required by law in connection with his 1995
conviction of child molesting.
The Coffins haunted house, owned and operated
by his wife, Becky Cooley, stresses in its fliers and Web site that parents are
not allowed to drop off children and that children are to be accompanied by a
parent or guardian at all times. Continue reading...

This is wrong on so many levels- I don't even know where to begin. No matter what you are going to have that slacker parent who thinks dropping off the 13 year old to watch the younger half dozen kids is just good enough. But I won't even get into that. Let's see. A sex offender. Just what is wrong with his wife? It's like giving a drug addict a job in a pharmacy. Irresponsible and just completely stupid. Something tells me this woman would be the first to blame the child when he reoffends- after all they made it known to neighbors that he was a sicko- what where those kids doing running around in mid July in their bathing suits? It's that kind of thinking that I imagine this moron having.
Moral of the story- you don't let sex offenders around children. It's that simple. And if you think it is okay- then you should be locked up. Okay, that last part isn't really a moral, just my own personal thoughts on it. BUT IT SHOULD BE A MORAL!

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...
