Lilo's Announcements

In the upcoming weeks, some new things will be happening here. If you look to the top of the site, you'll notice the words written in red... at this very moment- that's all they are words. But, if in reading them, you are moved by the thought that they represent, and actually do something about it, they become a powerful source. We, every single one of us can do something to make this world a better place.

That being said, here are some of the little things you are bound to notice:

First, I'll be revisiting a case that has haunted me, in hopes that someone might be moved into action. I'll be bringing back older posts, adding new information and asking you all to do whatever you can to help in getting the word out. I know that a lot of regular readers tend to be on the quiet side... but please feel free to offer any thoughts you may have on the case, or ideas you might have. That's the best thing about blogging- getting a fresh look at someone else's thoughts on a subject. For those of you interested in getting a head start on the story, may I suggest a google search on Ashley Lyn Howley?

Secondly, I've got a few cases simmering on the back burner that I can not actually write about as of yet. However, despite my inability to write on them... I can post on them. Therefore, you are likely to see a few guests spots here on Lost In Lima Ohio. These posts will be written by people involved in the cases, and will be published with the strong hope that we can be moved enough to do something. I'll be adding my own thoughts to them in separate posts... so, you'll still get your daily dose of Lilo's attitude.

And lastly, I've asked blogging buddy Home Sweet Home to help cover the next To Catch A Predator- Florida edition, hoping that our schedules permit. I can't for the life of my recall the date it will be airing, at least not at this moment... but details will be forthcoming as soon as I have them. I'm not even really sure exactly how it'll work out as of yet... so although she doesn't know it yet... we're likely to have to have a few practice runs. Thankfully, she visits here often enough- I'm sure she'll see this bit of important info. Anyone with ideas on how the best way to do this would be... feel free to let me know.

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. The White ...

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...
