Ok seriously???
My office fired two of the IT dept guys yesterday...one over a money dispute..
and the other????
CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER-PEDOPHILE!
My office let's us bring our kids to stay on school days off and such..this guy's been around our kids all this time!
I just can't believe it.
C'mon girls - let's have some FUN!
Was that his first offense and no one knew what he was like or does he have a criminal record?Originally Posted by Explorer44
I had grand jury duty at one time for three months and you would be shocked to hear what kind of crime goes on in areas that you have no clue about. A definite eye opener!
Never regret something that once made you smile.
You don't know what he did. Some sex offenders are really nasty people, others may have been 19 and had a 17 yr old girlfriend with difficult parents. What gets people on that list is all over the board.

Actually, it was on a child under 12...so we do know...we found his listing on the county offender list...
He lied on his application about it.
In that case be glad he is gone. The best defense for your kids is education. Check out the book, Protecting The Gift, written by a personal security specialist, he explains how to teach your children to interact safely with strangers and how to make them their own best protection against in appropriate stranger and non-stranger approaches.

Yes I watch over her closely, but it just goes to show..creeps will be creeps...lying on the application, etc.
and he used to kind of stalk the girls he liked at work..I am glad this was discovered to be sure!
At first I thought the same, WC, maybe an underage girlfriend, etc. But was when he was 24 and the girl under 12...so not that...
I'm just glad this was discovered...
I'm not surprised someone would lie on their application. Once you are a convicted sex offender, you really have no reasonable options. You can't live near schools or parks - in Miami this rules out ALL of the city except a camp under one of the bridges (from a NPR news report). There are almost no jobs you can legally have, and if you put sex-offender on your resume, no one will hire you. We release these people and then give them no possible way to become productive members of society.
I have no objections to executing sex offenders, but I don't think we serve any function by releasing people into society under rules that make it impossible for them to function. If we think sex crimes are so bad, we should have the honesty to admit that if you are convicted you life is over and kill them.
Of course one might question fairness of the applying the death penalty for a 20 year old who had consensual sex with a 14 year old.
I am not defending child molesters by any means, but i look at how kids dress and act and look at my daughters school and I am shocked that parents let them out of the house looking that way. they look way too grown up and provocative. My daughter is very grown up and mature looking for her age (almost 15), but I would never let her go out looking the way most of the kids do. I can see how someone can mistake her for older than she is, even with me keeping her in the tom-boy look.
the fact of the matter is that this society (and many others) has improperly sexualized teens and teen images in everything from TV shows, to movies, to advertisements, to music, etc.
and yet we wonder why things like this happen...
Things "like this" happen because there are people who form sexual desires inappropriately and have no grasp of the idea that just because you want someone or something doesn't mean you are entitled to have it. Having been gang raped and stalked in the past, I can tell you sexual predation has virtually nothing to do with how you dress or act. Pedophiles are sexually attracted to children - sexually aware and/or provocative generally has little to do with it. Some even molest and rape infants. Interviews with them have produced stories of men who have wooed and married women to gain access to their children or younger siblings. They will sometimes take years developing relationships with families and children. These are people who's sexual wiring, sense of limits and of right and wrong, are simply screwed up.
Blaming the vicitms is counter productive, does not address the real problem at all and is like bandaging your finger when you've cut your toe.
That said, I do agree that many young people are allowed to dress inappropriately and I'm very bothered by the gangsta/ho stuff for both genders. We do not need to reinforce or support the mentality of the lowest levels of social behavior.

The problem is that we use the term "sex offender" much to broadly. It covers everything from violent rape of a 5 year old to consensual sex with a 16 year old - either can get you on a sex-offenders list. I'm not a great fan of adults having sex with teenagers, but to me these are entirely different sorts of behavior.
Even for the worst offenders - why do we release them under conditions where they cannot possibly live legally as members of society? If we want to kill them - do so.
I think that in fact many people do what them dead, and are trying to get around the the rules against ex-post-facto laws. That darn' constitution again, we'd be better off without it.
And when the devil turns round on you, where will you hide with all the laws cut down?
