Let me give you a hint- you won't find their names on any sex offender list- at least not yet.
These 17 men are the most recent internet predators to be rounded up by Perverted Justice and local law enforcement.
One by one, the 17 men appeared Monday in Darke County Common Pleas Court, each facing a felony count of attempted unlawful sexual conduct with a minor following an unprecedented weekend Internet sex sting in Darke County.

Of course, you can be sure that this is another sting you'll be hearing a lot about in the future- as it was set up by PJ and law enforcement, and the ever popular Dateline.
At a quick glance the number seems a little less intimidating given that Datelines last sting reeled in many more- but don't sit back and get relaxed just yet:
In the 10 days leading up to the sex sting, P-J volunteers made contact with more than 150 men; 18 showed up at a home just northeast of Greenville planning to meet a teenager between 13 and 15 years old.

Two of the men thought they were meeting a boy; the rest planned to meet girls.

17 out of 150... which means your children still run the chance of meeting so many potential predators during their internet sessions.

For more information on Perverted Justice you'll find their website here, for a peek at the press release given by Darke County's Sheriff and Prosecutor Pj has reprinted a copy here.

Verifiable or provable by means of observation or experiment: empirical laws. 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.

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
