BMX, Caves, and Myspace

Parents, I'm not saying that the predators aren't completely to blame for their behaviors- but at the same time I can not possibly stress the fact that if you are completely careless with your children that you don't stop to think that it's a little odd for that grown man to be spending weekends with your son- if you don't stop to question what your 12 year old is doing on MySpace, if you don't pause and wonder just how healthy it is for your kid to be camping out overnight with an adult, and driving his BMW, and working on his BMX bike with him.... if you actually take so little interest in your child that he comes home molested on NUMEROUS occasions by the SAME person- you are NOT doing your job. You are lacking in the 'taking care of your responsibilities' department... and that is not okay.

Having said that, Hubert Haraszewski, 32 of Vista California is a deviant sexual predator- grooming at least one of his two victims- and using all the usual methods. He ought to be spending a lot of time in prison, and we can only sit back and hope that he will- which might just happen since he's facing 381 years to life behind bars.

After a preliminary hearing that lasted just over a day at the Vista courthouse, Judge David Danielsen determined that enough evidence was presented to order the defendant to stand trial on 16 counts and allegations, including multiple counts of committing a lewd act on a child, possession of child pornography and posing a child for prohibited acts.

According to court documents, investigators found thumb drives in the defendant's car and his parents' home in Palmdale that contained pornographic images of the two alleged victims.

The older of the two, who is now 13, testified Thursday that he met Haraszewski while riding BMX bicycles near his home in Costa Mesa and that defendant -- who he knew as "Squirrel" -- molested him in various places, including San Onofre State Beach.


Read the entire article, and then read it again. And if you see anything that reminds you- even in the smallest amount- like a relationship your child has with an adult... you might want to step in and make sure nothing sinister is going on when you are out of eye shot.

I'm tired of predators using children for their disgusting benefit- but I'm just as tired of parents dropping the ball and allowing this to happen. Yes, it would be nice if we could all just trust that our children are safe regardless of who they are with- but quite frankly, that's just not a reality. Which means that we HAVE to remain aware and active at all times.

Thanks to trench.

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...

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...

Lost Little Girl

It has been 11 years... dare I say hello to old friends?   There's a new crime, a new missing person, a new murdered woman, a new victim. Nothing has changed. All these years and still - its all the same.   Gabby Petito   She's just one of countless pretty white blonde girls that the main stream media has paraded in front of us, capturing our attention as they lay out the plot that will play across our TVs and phone screens as we wait... first for clues as to where she could be, then for the news she was found, we wait for the reports that it was a homicide, detais on her last encounters... we want to know the cause of death. More than that we want to know where her #vanlife sharing and who most of the world believes was her killer, boyfriend Brian Christopher Laundrie is.   How do they pick which missing person will make the best headlines? How do they determine that Gabby will bring more views than Mary Johnson ? or Dulce Maria Alavez ? Why not ...
