Where's Ben?

UPDATE- BOYS FOUND!

A white pick up, banged up with missing hubcaps and a matching cab on the back seems to be the only clue surrounding the disappearance of 13 year old William " Ben" Ownby. As the FBI has begun to investigate, and a profiler has been called into to present possible leads to what steps investigators might consider taking; Ben's father issued a heartfelt plea to whoever is responsible for his disappearance:
During a news conference held Thursday afternoon, Ben's father, Don Ownby, issued a plea to anyone who thinks or suspects they know something to come forward.

"It could be something to break this thing open for us," said Ownby.

Ownby said his son wants to go to college for computer programming and has already taken his first ACT test. He said Ben's the "perfect student and the perfect son.
[...]
"He has his whole life ahead of him ... let his family have him back."

The Springfield News-Leader - Jan 12 8:59 AM
Beaufort — Investigators think a stranger abducted 13-year-old Ben Ownby, but drawing a psychological profile of the kidnapper will take "quite some time," Franklin County Sheriff Gary Toelke said this morning. The strongest clue police have is a white pickup truck seen speeding from the scene of Ben's disappearance Monday afternoon. Toelke said time is a growing concern, as is approaching bad ...

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

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...
