					<description><![CDATA[Man oh Man talk about getting off topic. All of you are wrong. Public Registration is cruel and unusual punishment, you can go on to say its a Mental Stigma, or you can go on to say its a Satanic list or Scarlett letter list. Is it cruel and unusual, YES it is and I wish the government had never had one. There are countries all over the world that don&#039;t even have something like the USA has. That right there tells you of a perverse nation and a perverse government. I wonder how many people in this nation that are perverse that are not even on the registry. I&#039;m sure each and ever one of us. So is it still unusual punishment. Certainly. Oh yes government would want to tell you its not but are to listen to Satan&#039;s messengers or to God&#039;s messengers. It was never really thought out in the beginning. Its as if they are doing an experiment with those on the registry and setting panic in the hearts and fear&#039;s of society. Is it punishment. no more than prison or probation is punishment... its an extra bonus one might say.... but in really it solves nothing if one really thinks about it. To give you an example: if someone was going to rob your house, you would be on guard of your neighbors next door but what if the neighbor three door&#039;s down from your house robbed your house... and he wasn&#039;t even on the list of robber&#039;s one wouldn&#039;t have much confidence in it would one.
The Registry with its cruel and unusual punishment is a political hype to rectify the wrongs of government. 
They send you off to war, you get killed, they couldn&#039;t care less so why would they really care about a sex offender or those on the registry. If they are gone to do a registry have it in the private sector. I mean I love my neighbor till they go to far but I would rather tell them about it than have law enforcement involved in all of it.
So Stand Up people for this Registry and its Cruel and Unusual Punishment.]]></description>

Talking about racism is not &quot;anti-White&quot;. Racism still exists and plenty of studies show that Black defendants get longer sentences compared to White counterparts. I bet you probably want better treatment of pedos and other sex offenders but probably still see POC as less than human and they aren&#039;t &quot;allowed to complain because racism is fake and a lie from minorities because they are lazy, blah, blah, blah&quot;. 

Pedophiles and other sex offenders want to be taken seriously but are willing to ignore that other forms of oppression like racism still exist. You can&#039;t want equal rights for a group then try to lie and discredit another group. I could say this whole site is &quot;anti-children and rape apologists&quot; but that is a blatant lie and disrespectful.]]></description>

A good parent tells your kids friends mom! That way your kid knows your on the side of the victims. Your kid can&#039;t go to public school. They graduate from corrections. 
I take the fallout everyday and I lost my family, friends, grandchildren and my 3 older kids.
And after there registered as a parent you just lost another kid. By law if my son stays somewhere for 5 days and doesn&#039;t disclose his location to police, it&#039;s a felony]]></description>

Obviously you are not very educated nor do you have a loved one on the registry. I wish some people would just shut up. Ignorance, wow! Ninety percent of victims don&#039;t re-offend. You just need to turn off your news because of all the negativity!]]></description>

I&#039;m sorry! Wow I&#039;m a mom of an offender and we&#039;re white. If that matters. We are both human. 
As a mom I deal with racism too but it&#039;s different I don&#039;t go out anymore or meet friends because I have to deal with pedophile comments. I&#039;m the lowest of all the white trash.]]></description>

Well written, but so many What if&#039;s. Are you really going to be the person to lock yourself or your child never to let them experience life? Definitely a rough way to live. I&#039;m not to familiar with the NJ incident, I try not to watch all the negativity on the news. The answers are simple. You cant be there 24/7 with your kids. So what do we do as concerned parents. We educate! We educate ourselves, we educate our children, and we stay involved. Certainly faith and hope comes into play, that nothing of a sexual offense is ever brought upon our child. Registries, sanctions, and anything other than incarceration are not effective in keeping our children safe. The fact remains, that a 1000 ft buffer or child safe zone, or probation officer etc. are not going to stop an offender from getting to your child if they want them bad enough. I am referring to the &quot;Sexually violent predators&quot; out there&#039; not these kids who get caught with girlfriends and are underaged.  Do these sanctions work as a deterrent? Most of the time I think so. So what do we do about this? Lets send the whole world to prison and throw away the key? Nah never mind thats how everyone else thinks. These individuals need extensive help from accredited therapists and doctors, not from fly by night county mandated money makers for the states. These individuals are people like you and I. They have issues with being abused as children or unmet emotional needs such as love from a parent, contact with someone who cares about them and the list goes on and on. Don&#039;t get me wrong, Im not in complete support of everyone who commits a sex offense. Not everyone who has been a victim becomes a victimizer. As you put it in other terms, we do not know who is a potential abuser these days. Factual basis has it that people who are closest to us are more dangerous than the next door neighbor. The example you gave with the 7 year old is key. We have to be aware of the signs, we have to be the ones t meet the parents, het involved in everything the kids do. And trust me the kids will hate us for it, but thank us in the long run. You want to be the best parent you can be, but that means informing your kids to be aware, keeping open communication about everything no matter what. From the first hint that your child knows something wrong, shows something wrong, that is the time to act. Encouragement to talk, you cant communicate enough. Telling them it&#039;s ok to say no. Teaching them about stranger danger, unwanted touch. Old school teaching like using the buddy system. Carrying a cell pho e is not a bad thing these days for safety purposes. There are so many things that the public doesn&#039;t want to know because its just easier to let someone else take the reigns and handle &quot;it&quot; for us, but without a personal involvement from each individual you may be vulnerable and caught off guard. As gar as the incident in your post, I don&#039;t think the kids involved should be prosecuted as sexual offenders, prosecuted, community service, some harsh penalties to get their attention, maybe even some contingency based sanctions, if you do......we will agree to....., but for now as a parent, as an individual get educated about this whole subject to include abusers and the abused]]></description>

I believe the &quot;commenter&quot; is referring to their first paragraph written as:
