MySpace Assault

A girl logs onto Myspace, posts some information about herself, and begins to chat to friends. Her parents may or may not be aware of her using the online chatting community- but either way they are soon to find out about the dangerous side of Myspace.
According to investigators, Frances Rinaldini, 22, has been charged with the sexual assault of a Lee High School student.
Rinaldini was arrested at work Friday afternoon and charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child, an incident that happened earlier in the week, police said.
Detectives said two Lee High School girls met two men on MySpace.com, exchanged phone numbers and reportedly met up at a home in Castle Hills on Monday, during school hours.

Kids are so often fearless. They don't think that their little space will be of interest to anyone but them, and maybe a couple of friends. Somehow, we have to make them aware that the very types of people who will seek them out, are the very people who they don't want to meet.

We have a 19 year old girl here in Vermont that is missing.She has a myspace site.She met a man and now she is missing.The man came from states away,stayed with her.The family kicked the man out.She left with a man with a man that has outstanding warrents in several states.Myspace is something that is very dangerous and should be removed from the internet.This site claims that it keeps its users safe but yet it has people post personal information in a public forum.

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...
