Not all the sex-offenders are the same, When most people think of a sex-offender, they think of a baby or a young child being raped or killed, but did you know that there are many offenses now that require people to register .

Are Americans aware that if they have knowledge that their juvenile child is having consensual sex with someone of 18 years or older, they ( the parent) can be convicted of indecent liberties by person of supervision and listed on a Sex-Offender Registry for 15 years to life?

Are Americans aware that middle schoolers have been convicted and listed on Sex Offender Registries for pinching other middle schoolers on their rear-end?

Are Americans aware that most first time “sex-offenders” never re-offend.

Many studies have proven that the current sex-offender laws, the registries and the residency restrictions are ineffective and damaging. Our legislators repeatedly state inaccurate recidivism rates ( the rate to re-offend ) of “sex-offenders” to the public to gain support of voters and to push through flawed legislation.

The recidivism rate for “sex-offenders” is significantly lower than that of drug dealers and users or armed robbers. An interesting fact since sex offender Legislation is based on the assumption that “sex-offenders “ will recidivate with new sexual offenses.

The Registries need to be returned to their original intent, to list the most dangerous and untreatable and repeat offenders.
