Sickening...

As many as 10 men may have taken part in the gang rape of an eleven year old girl.
Two arrests have been made in the Saturday attack, and officials said they have identified eight others as persons of interest. Most or all are students at either Fresno City College or Reedley College, police said.

The alleged victim went to an apartment complex on Saturday night to visit an acquaintance, said police spokesman Jeff Cardinale. While she was inside one of the apartments, she allegedly was sexually assaulted multiple times by several men.

There's nothing I can say, except it's sickening.

Apparently, according to accounts I have read, the guys "excuse" is that she "looked old enough." That got me to thinking a bit. Obviously no one should ever be put in a position where they are raped or taken advantage of sexually, no matter WHAT age...but...I'm a little disturbed by the outfits that little girls are allowed to wear these days. They are allowed to wear make-up and mini-skirts. I recently went to my godson's school play (he's in middle school) and was literally shocked at what these little girls were wearing.

No, I don't blame the girl because if these guys raped her, then she was an innocent party and it is indeed sickening. But I wonder a little bit about this girl who was a runaway from a group home. Was she trying to be a little bit older than she was? Did she look older? If it was rape, then the guys should be charged as such! But if she was trying to look older and the sex was consensual (and yes, there are some 11 year olds who are actually sexually active which is just SO wrong)...then you have to wonder a bit if she's not somewhat culpable. What some of these girls are wearing these days, my daughter would have been shot for. Well, maybe not shot...but definately not been able to leave the house for a week.

A Proud American!

The 15 year old girl who went to the home with the little girl has been located safe in Atascadero, less than 20 miles from her hometown of San Luis Obispo,

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...
