Sex Offenders have low rate of re offending

Every time I turn around I have to hear someone insisting that the stats of sexual offenders re offending is so low. Not just low. But SO low. So low in fact- that it's just CRAZY that the public wants to justify horrid things like sex offender registries. The public is just mean for not letting these poor sex offenders serve their slap on the wrists sentences and then go freely on their way, back into our neighborhoods without as much as a blink.

I'd defend my position that these people flailing these claims around are wrong by giving actual stats from long term studies... but I've done that before. I could defend the cause by clearly explaining that sexual offenders of the 'pedophile' kind are known to have an average of 115 victims PRIOR to getting caught the first time and therefore are even less likely to get caught the second time. I could even defend the SOR by pointing out that studies only catch the ones that are caught and convicted... and therefore they can never be completely correct. But I won't. Because I've done that all before, and it does no good to continue pointing out the obvious to people who would rather stick their heads in the sand and justify their incorrect data with stupid ideas like "sex offender treatment programs work!!!". Instead, I thought I would just play a game of 'show and tell'.

Thomas Edwin Russell, 53, appeared Wednesday morning before Circuit Judge Tom Keith for a bond hearing. The judge set bond at $ 500, 000.

Russell's placement on the sex-offender registry occurred when he was convicted in Washington County of raping a 9-year-old girl.

He currently faces a Washington County charge of raping an 11-year-old girl. A trial is set for Tuesday. NWAnews

Huh... imagine that. A already registered sexual offender charged with... a new offense.
Newport News Police arrested a registered sex offender who they say solicited teenage boys in two separate incidents.

On January 6th, a 17-year-old says Thomas Kahsin, 73, approached him around 8:30 p.m. on the 11000 block of Warwick Boulevard and offered him money to perform a sex act on him.

The second incident allegedly took place on January 22nd. WVEC

Wow... shocking, another offender charged again in a sex crime.
Police say 28-year-old Christopher Hagan, of Richmond, was doing door-to-door sales in November when at one house he allegedly tried to solicit sex from a woman, and then began touching her. During an investigation into that incident, police say they learned about another victim: a 14-year-old girl from Richmond. WCAX

What do you know... another one.
Heh... and that's just a few in the last few days.

Someone tell me again how sex offenders aren't likely to commit another sex crime...

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...

Mom Arrested After Baby Found Mauled By Dogs

This is a story that I really don't want to share, it angers me all the while breaking my heart at how someone could be so cold and callous. My only comment is that there is always a better way. Some may of thought of going to the hospital, others may have thought about calling someone- anyone for help. But the complete disregard this person showed is horrifing. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy. The mother told investigators that the baby was still-born at home. She said she panicked and disposed of the baby boy a few miles from her home, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. The investigation began after authorities received a 911 call from a frantic mother. Dispatcher: "911, what's your emergency?" Caller: "My kids were just outside, telling me that the dog was ch...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...
