A guy stayed in the hotel room where the body was hidden? Where could he have hidden it? Man, THAT would creep me out big time.

This shows what a thin reed sex offender registration and residency laws are. Parents for Megan's Law gives Florida a grade of A+ for their registry laws. Georgia has the toughest sex offender residency laws in the country. When the Georgia legislators passed their residency law they said that the purpose of the law was to drive offenders from the state. I guess that part of it worked.

Let's see...Georgia has some of the strictest and most oppressive laws in the nation against Registered Former Sex Offenders and all it did was drive this Offender out of their State in to Florida which was their publically legislative intent. If I lived in Florida I would be screaming. Georgia should be dealing with their own mess and not forcing these "people" out into other States. That is not fair to the citizens of Florida and now Georgia, in my opinion, has caused the murder of this little girl. Did not we not learn anything from the Christopher Michael Barrios tragedy?
Remember, Politicians killed him too...
http://www.valdostadailytimes.com/opinion/loc...

So the Registry did not prevent this...Most all those in the professional field said it wouldn't.
So Residency Restrictions did not prevent this...Most will agree that it is most likely responsible for this tragedy.
And let's not forget the Internet Rules...How much money and resources wasted on this "Politically Brilliant Idea" could have been used to prevent the real danger to children such as this.

Oh Yea, now we get to hear Politicians all clamoring for Blood Votes in the name of this poor little girl who's life was ended because of these very same Politicians and Vote getting laws that will most assuredly follow.

How many more children will have to die before Prevention becomes a priority.

This is a parents worst nightmare. Your 13 year old daughter goes out to walk the neighbor's dog and ends up dead. I would always wonder what her last living moments were like and the fact that I could not protect or save her would kill me emotionally.

Again! Why are sex offenders/pedophiles given more rights than citizens? Keep them in prison forever, where they belong. Stop endangering the public. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR PEDOPHILES! Whose kid has to die next??

Totally agree. Drunk Drivers kill more children in one year, over 2000, than Sex Offenders have killed in the last decade which is 6 I am told. Yet, not one of them have been put to death. And nearly everyone of these Drunken Murders had multiple convictions before they killed those chidren. Drunk Drivers need to face the Death Penalty as well, then perhaps this madness will stop and children would not die such gruesome deaths. Illegal Drugs kill over 10,000 children each year, not to mention the multitudes it leaves addicted and dependant on their poison. All Drug Dealers need to face the Death Penalty as well. And let's add these people to the list for Death Penalty to while we are "cleansing" our society of those we deem subhuman and not deserving of our mercy.

Between 1976 and 1997 parents and stepparents murdered nearly 11,000 children.

Mothers and stepmothers committed about half these child murders.

Sons and stepsons accounted for 52% of those killed by mothers and 57% of those killed by fathers.

Mothers were responsible for a higher share of children killed during infancy, while fathers were more likely to have been responsible for the murders of children 8 or older.

-"Women Offenders"
Bureau of Justice Statistics
U.S. Department of Justice
December, 1999

Bet if we put a few mothers and fathers to death that would save thousands of children each year.

Yea, Sex Offender might kill one or two children a year but the real murders are walking the streets without even having to Register so we can know who they are and protect our children from those that are truly dangerous.

I think an abused child would get great satisfaction and healing watching their abusive parent being straped down and get the "Big Fix" wouldn't you. I mean as 95% of all Sex Abuse is committed by someone within the family environment by a family member or relative, so it seems only fitting, that is if I understand you right Michelle. Or are there exceptions in you "final solution"?

I don't know where you got your stats, but one thing I can say for sure is that allowing a child to witness the death of a caretaker would, most likely, not bring them neither great satisfaction nor healing... Most children that are abused by a caretaker (I am going to refer to mom and/or dad). The majority of abused children, who are sexually abused, are "conditioned" to believe what is happening to them is "normal." They love and trust the person who is abusing them... Which means that witnessing the death of the caretaker can be more detrimental than not.

The Stats can be found by doing just a little research. But as most are not interested in the actual Stats so few bother to find the truth. But if you are serious try these for starters;

http://www.neahin.org/

http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/departments/nrd-...
http://webapp.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/mortrate.h...
http://ojjdp.ncjrs.org/ojstatbb/ezaucr/asp/uc...
http://www.csom.org/pubs/mythsfacts.html
and the lists are endless, most are .gov resources.

However I note you "ducked" the real question in response to your quote about "anyone who harms a child should be put to death". My reference of a child witnessing was rhetorical to demonstrate the flaw in your egregious statement. Do you support putting the parents of abused children to death as well as many of the others noted above who harm children? Regardless of the Stats it is happening as we speak.

I could think of nothing more devastating to a child than sitting there watching the clock knowing that at an appointed time the parent who abused them would be put to death. Is this what you are asking for? Because according to you "anyone who harms a child should be put to death". I am trying to provoke you to see that a "one size" fits all solution is not sane solution much less a productive one. Most Mental Health Professional try to put the families back together and work them though the abuse trying to make them whole again.

On you side though. There are some who do deserve what they get. But they are a minority which the Politicians and New Agencies would have you believe are the norm and not the exception.

Gallowsman..
I understood what you were trying to do when you replied..I just know better and did'nt let you drag me into a battle..
I have 0 tolerance when it comes to crimes against children..
I am sick and tired of people assuming peophiles can be rehabilitated. It really can not be done..

Back to the other questions you asked..Ok if we were to kill the drug dealers then lets kill the politicians..They are the first ones to allow the drugs to enter the United States..

Most mental health pro's and children services do try to put the families back together..WHY??
I understand what they are trying to do but how many tragedies have occured because children were placed back with the abusive parent??
I am a mom..I'll go to the ends of the earth for my kids. Anyone and I mean anyone harms my kids they have me to answer to.. Do you have kids?? If someone were to sexually abuse your child would'nt you want the person that hurt them punished to the fullest extent of the law??

Michelle, I have children, five grandchildren. I am trying to protect them from the real dangers out there. There is a one in 1.5 million chance they would be abused by a Registered Offender. There is a one in 1000 chance they will be harmed by illegal drugs. There is a one in 3500 chance they will be killed by gang violence. There is a one in 8000 chance they will be killed by a drunk driver. There are a lot more dangerous things out there than Registered Former Offenders that ALL professionals and Government Studies, most recently this year California Sex Offender Management Study, all say the same thing; "Former Offenders are the least likely to harm a child."

You worry about the "Stranger Danger". When I was growing up my parents always nagged at me not to talk to strangers. Don't take candy from strangers. Don't get into strange cars. Don't go into certain parts of town. etc. But no one ever told me to beware of my best friend's brother who abuse me for several years. Nor that when the Scout Master wanted to share my tent that we also had to share a sleeping bag. Oh, he was my Uncle by the way. Beware of Strangers! They are the last people I am worried about. And Former Offenders are at the bottom of a long list I worry about.

If someone hurt ANY of my family I would see they ruled the day they messed with mine, within the confines of the law. But I would never take a life in vengence regardless.

I am so sorry for what you went through.
I never said we should take matters into our own hands..
But I can tell you this..If someone harms my children I really don't know what I would do. Especially if it was my own sibling.

I don't believe those studies to be correct. Sex offenders can not be rehabilitated. making them register really won't change things. The only thing that does is make them be more careful not to get caught.
I think the punishment for crimes against children should be more severe.Maybe then these pervs would think twice before harming kids..
