| Posted by: UNBELIEVABLE (not registered) on October 12, 2005 at 05:50 am |  | I FIND IT DESPICABLE AND DISGUSTING THAT I CANNOT SHOW MY CHILD PICTURES OF CHILD MOLESTORS IN OUR AREA WITHOUT FILLING OUT FORMS, ETC.. MASSACHUSSETTES IS OBVIOUSLY A CHILD MOLESTORS DREAM COME TRUE - THE CRIMNINALS HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN THE VICTIMS! PARENTS BEWARE!!!!!!!! I FIND THE LACK OF INFO HERE DISGUSTING COMPARED TO OTHER SITES BUT MAYBE IT'S JUST ANOTHER SKELETON IN THE OLD KENNEDY CLOSET - THE ONLY REASON I CAN THINK OF THAT THIS IS NOT DIFFERENT. IT IS SICKENING. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on October 17, 2005 at 01:25 am | | I think your website is no worse than the State of Massachusetts website. Without an act of Congress you cannot view sex offenders in different zip code areas and no pictures are posted. Or there are a pile of forms to fill out and even money to be paid in some cases. Connecticut is great!~ they don't hide sex offenders. As long as you don't do anything illegal with the information that is posted, there is no problem for anyone. I want to know who my neighbors are as well as who lives in the areas I frequent for shopping, etc. This way I keep a closer eye open when I am in a certain area. This is for my protection. I appreciate it. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on October 30, 2005 at 01:48 am | | To the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry: You currently have a sex offender listed in Hampden County that is going under another name in Connecticut. I know this for a fact. Why don't you have his alias listed also. If you check under the name he was originally arrested for, you can get some information as he is a level 3 offender. If anyone tries to check him out using the name he is currently using, they will come up empty and you site will say no record available. How is this site helping children or anyone when you have insufficient data yourselves? I hope a lot of people do not have a sense of security after checking this site. There are more out there that the state has poor information on. You need to improve your information gathering or otherwise this whole business of sex offenders registering will be a total failure as well as a farce! |
| Posted by: Mom (not registered) on November 03, 2005 at 02:04 pm | | we tell our children not to talk to strangers, not to leave with anybody, and to always be aware of their surroundings, it would make it alot easier if we had pictures to show them that people who look pleasant and soft spoken are not necessarily safe people. after all sex offenders do not come with a label on their foreheads, and they dont all look like monsters. This is impossible to do because massachusetts doesnt allow pictures to be shown of sex offenders/predators, and in doing so raises the question, Who is the state protecting? the offenders or future victims? |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on May 05, 2006 at 04:12 pm | | Massachusetts does post level 3 sex offenders @ http://ma-sorb.gis.net/ResultDetail.asp?btn27739=Detail by selecting a town. However they don't post level 1 or 2. In my opinion any level offender is dangerous...once a sex offender always an offender. They get a slap on the hand for commiting these sickening crimes to our future leaders. Something has to change! I went to my local police department and they didn't know who the sex offenders were. They aren't supposed to be within 10 miles of a school yet my town isn't even 10 miles distance from one end to the other, therefore shouldn't be any sex offenders in town at all. Dispicable |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on June 06, 2006 at 10:25 pm | | TO ALL THAT CHALLENGE THE REGISTRY ESPECIALLY THE WRITER WHO SAYS"ONCE A SEX OFFENDER ALWAYS, MADAM OR SIR, BE IT KNOWN THAT SOME OF YOUR LEVEL 1 AND 2S ARE ACTUALLY PREVIOUS POLICE OFFICERS FIRE FIGHTERS ETC, WHO GOT DRUNK AND GRABBED A BOOB, OR PEED ON THE STREET AND GOT CAUGHT, THE PROFESSIONAL AT THE REGISTRY TRY THERE BEST WITHIN THE CONSTITION TO PROTECT ALL, THE REAL CONCERNS ARE THE LEVEL 3 CHILD MOLESTORS , THE MEN OR WOMAN THAT PREY ON INNOCENT CHILDREN, USE THIS INFORMATION IN A WAY TO PROTECT AND MAKE AWARE DO NOT USE IT IN A WAY THAT WILL MENTALLY BE HARMFUL TO YOUR CHILD REMEMBER SHOWING PICTURE WILL ONLY MAKE THE CHILD REMEMBER THAT THEY SAW THIS PERSON OR THEY KNOW THIS PERSON.... PLEASE LOOK INTO YOUR INFORMATION FIRST...

| Posted by: Alan (not registered) on June 10, 2006 at 10:07 pm | | I think all pictures and addresses should be posted. What do we do for our children if we cannot show them a picture on our computer of an offender. Do we wait till one of our own gets in the clutches of these evil people. We have seen it time and time again. Please make more access to the people. Some of them are laughing at us now saying they cannot be caught. Please post everything and keep it updated. Thank You |
| Posted by: virginia mendoza (not registered) on August 30, 2006 at 12:19 pm | | I FEEL REALLY DISGUSTED AT THE STATE FOR NOT ALLOWING ME TO SEE THOSE HORRIBLE SEX OFFENDERS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN I WANT TO KNOW WHO LIVES NEAR ME |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on October 03, 2006 at 03:52 am | | These comments are full of hate, ignorance, and hysteria. Thank you to the anonymous posting of June 06 which corrects some bad information about likely re-offenders and points out that there are indeed circumstances in which a decent human being, and/or a reformed human being, might end up on one of these lists. People should always be cautious with their children, and teach them caution as well--with regard to strangers but also with regard to inappropriate or even criminal behavior from family members, I might add. But the idea of using pictures of these desperate and pathetic people to scare one's child to death is appalling. Get off the computer. Get away from the fear-mongerers on tv. Go for a walk with your child or grandchild, and read them some good books. Introduce them to the helpers and heroes and humanitarians who live in every one of your neighborhods. You're more likely to get hit by a car tomorrow than preyed on by a sex offender. Say no to hysteria, live a good life, and give others a chance to try and do the same. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on November 13, 2006 at 09:22 pm | | The scariest thing of all is that most people think it is the "registered" sex offenders they need to fear. Most of the registered offenders will never reoffend. Some will, but most will not. 80% of all sex offenders have never been caught because most victims never tell. You lull yourself into a false sense of security by regarding registered sex offenders as the worst of your problems. The people you least expect are molesting your children right now. You do not suspect them because you focus only on those you can see. The registering of sex offenders is done so you will know where they are, not so you can run them off. I hope people wake up and start addressing ths issue coherently. I know what I'm talking about because, sadly, I molested many children over the years. None of them ever came forward. I do not molest kids anymore, but I see some glaring problems in the way society is dealing with this issue. God help us. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on November 14, 2006 at 09:34 pm | | I have some questions for anyone who could help inform me about where sex offenders can and can't live. I just found out a level 3 sex offender lives across from my Dad who cares for my 3 yr old, also the apartment the sex offenders lives in is on the corner where the bus stop for the kids are and behind his house is the playground. Is there a law or rule that does not permit this in the state of Mass. |
| Posted by: Kadja (not registered) on November 28, 2006 at 08:27 pm | | Last year I found out that my roommate had set up cameras in my bedroom and in my bathroom to watch me shower and watch me at my most intimate moments. When the law stepped in, I was broght in to identify 6 other women whom he had done the same to. Then with a little more investigating, they found HUNDREDS of child pornography pictures, movies, and computer files. I received a letter finally this junethat informed me that he is not being required to register as a sex offender and as the letter stated he is a "low risk" sexual offender who "will not reoffend".... I would like that judge to stand in a court room to the 6 women whom he video taped and the other 263 kids whose pictures he had and to tell us that he is a "low risk sex offender"! And the worse of all of this, when I first found out, the officers attending to my case GLADLY told me that I was lucky that it happened when it did, because up until just a few months before, if someone wanted to watch you undress or bathe or anything you would normally think you'd do in private was legal as long as it had no sound! yes... I was lucky! The guy ruined my life and i think people should be able to EASILY find these perps on the internet, because when the law can't help you, knowledge is your best defense.
Thank you |
| Posted by: J May (not registered) on December 06, 2006 at 11:36 am | | As a parent myself I understand the concern, but showing your child pictures of known sex offenders can do as much harm as good. How, you ask? Because emphasis on the known individuals may give your child the idea, even if you do not intend to, that if the person doesn't resemble one of these people, then they are OK. Unfortunately, most of those who are likely to molest or sexually abuse your child are not on any list, mostly because they have never been arrested. How many of the abusers in the Catholic priesthood were on any list after abusing children in their care for as much as 40 years? Parents were honored to send their teenagers to be pages in the US House of Representatives, unaware that a long-time serial sex offender (Rep. Mark Foley) had access to their children.
Statistics have long shown that most abuse is committed by people whom the abused person knows. The point is: parents should know about people that their children spend a lot of time around and children should be taught to recognize and report inappropriate behavior. That is the best protection for children. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on December 13, 2006 at 11:52 am | | ok so pretty much I dont even live in Massachusetts but- for instance Dana Erik Roberts was just arrested for murder, if the women that he murdered would have know that this man was a sex offender she would have not allowed him to be near her or her 4 year old daughter and 6 year old son. She never knew that his man had charges on him in Hampden Mass. for being a sex offender. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on January 09, 2007 at 10:20 pm | | Someone is very wrong. My children's grandfather served time in Indiana for child molestation of a family friend's daughter. He was released almost a year ago. I recently found out he is back living in Massachusetts! But because he is only a level one offender, I can't get info on him. His daughter, who he also sexually abused is afraid to press charges because he is local. The courts tell us they won't tell us where he is working because they don't want us to harass him!! Well, what if I go to the grocery store and he ends up being my bagger and I am there with my children? What about my rights to avoid him and keep my children safe? My children are the same age his daughter was when he molested her!! What is wrong with this state when the molester has more rights than the victims and the families that want to avoid them? How can I let my children out to play when I don't know who my neighbors are? |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on January 16, 2007 at 07:19 pm | | This is the worst site I have ever been to. I have never been more appalled at the lack of information on any site in my whole entire life. The State of Massachusetts should be disgusted with this policy of protecting these sick people. Information should be readily available due to the oversite when it comes to registering in a new town. It is far too easy to just moce out of your state, and not register in another state or town due to this inefficiency. PLEASE... for the sake of the children, change this policy so we can protect our children. |
| Posted by: Boston (not registered) on January 25, 2007 at 07:03 pm | | Most of the people on here are just nosey and want to know who did what and what they look like....I would love to see what skeletons you people have in your closets.
Everyone has skeletons!!!
I was convicted and sentenced to prison for 2 years for exposing myself...There are tons of people with different type of fetishes including exibisionism.......I have never hurt a child and i never will..i do not look at children in a sexual manner.
But i did 2 years and im Level 2......I would bet that most of you people on here have done far worse then what i have done.
who do you think it would benefit to know where i live and what i look like etc... Nobody ..It would only ruin my life... So waht you basically are asking for is to totaly humilate the people who have made mistakes in the past and are doing great. (like myself)...Its mostly welfare/unemployed mothers that wanna know everything cause they are bored...they will sit outside and judge people.....Look at yourself and look in your closet before you wanna look in mine. |

I wish you all the best. Just go on with your life. There's light at the end of the tunnel. You see, anything about sex is sensational. Most people don't know that they'll be on the registries for life, if some of the things they've done come to light - even politicians and the policemen and women. Hypocrisy has always been a human issue. Usually, those that scream loudest have the biggest skeletons - it's a psyshological fact. Just be careful not to do any more thing that is stupid. |
| Posted by: Eric (not registered) on February 04, 2007 at 09:19 am | | Omg... You all need to stop whineing. You can find just about any sex offender and image. of them , if you know where to look on the internet. Yes they make it hard to find.. but it is impossible. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on February 21, 2007 at 07:57 pm | | some people think sex offenders are the only thing out in the real world. one can understand the concerns but how about the murders or burglars. How about all the drugs that are in our streets exposed to our children. Enough already, If we want to request something lets request to have our children back home from war. |
| Posted by: Old Law-town Girl (not registered) on February 23, 2007 at 10:27 pm | | This is one thing I like about Florida. They list information about sex offenders, predators, and their information. Address, vehicles and crime. |
| Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on March 08, 2007 at 10:25 am | | I AM OUTRAGED THAT I CAN'T FIND THE MAN WHO MOLESTED ME ON ANY SUCH SEX OFFENDER WEBSITE. HE RAPPED ME FOR 5 YEARS AND I WAS 10 WHEN IT STARTED. HIS PICTURE IS NO WHERE AND THERE SHOULD BE NO SUCH CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. ALL OFFENDERS SHOULD BE LISTED NOT JUST LEFT TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. I WANT IT OUT THERE THAT HE ONLY WENT TO JAIL FOR 15 MONTHS AND GOT 15 MONTHS PROBATION FOR TAKING MY CHILDHOOD AWAY FROM ME. HIS NAME IS DAVID GREGORY LANE AND HE LIVES IN BONDSVILLE, MASSACHUSSETS. KEEP YOUR KIDS AWAY FROM THIS MONSTER AT ALL COSTS AND MASS. NEEDS TO BETTER ITS LAWS TO PROTECT THE VICTIMS AND THE OTHER POSIBLE VICTIMS!!!!!! |
| Posted by: Aristia (not registered) on March 09, 2007 at 02:02 pm | | i think it is unfair for the state of massachusetts to not allow us to see the sex offenders. not just so that we know who they are but we need to be able to protect ourselves and our families. |
| Posted by: Diane (not registered) on March 16, 2007 at 03:19 pm | | why is it that the majority of sex offenders have light eyes-blue,green,hazel vs brown out of 88 sex offenders 37 had brown (included blacks, hyspanics, Indian and other nationalities) and 51 had blue, green or hazel. ARE LIGHT-EYED PEOPLE THE MAJORITY IN THIS OR WHAT? |
| Posted by: Heather Hartman (not registered) on March 20, 2007 at 01:35 pm | | I FIND IT COMPLETELY IMMORAL AND CRIMINAL TO KEEP SEX OFFENDERS' INFORMATION A SECRET FROM THE COMMUNITIES THAT THEY LIVE IN. THIS IS PUBLIC INFORMATION AND SHOULD BE GIVEN AT THE CLICK OF A BUTTON. ESPECIALLY IN TODAY'S DAY AND AGE. SEX OFFENDERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED NO PRIVACY WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR IDENTITY AND WHEREABOUTS. PICTURES NEED TO BE PROVIDED FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, IN ORDER TO GET A STEP AHEAD AND PROTECT SO ANOTHER INCIDENT WON'T TAKE PLACE. THE ENTIRE REASON THAT THERE IS A SEX OFFENDERS REGISTRY IS TO NOTIFY THE PEOPLE AND PROTECT THEM. THE ONLY PROTECTION HERE IS FOR THE CRIMINALS. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO REGISTER, NOT US!!!!!
HOW HAS THIS STATE GONE DOWN THIS ROAD. OUR NEIGHBORING STATES HAVE ACCESS. WHY ARE WE LESS WORTHY OR IMPORTANT??!! I HAVE A FEELING THAT I AM WASTING MY TIME JUST ENTERING THIS COMMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE. IF OUR STATE CARED ENOUGH THEN THIS WOULD BE THE LAST COMMENT POSTED. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on April 02, 2007 at 03:34 pm | | Welcome to the Peoples' Republic of Massachusetts. The PRoM has a long and distinguished track record of protecting those who scoff at the law.
Now, having said that, I do agree, to a point, that individuals who were caught doing something stupid, such as urinating in public or flashing a "moon", shouldn't have to endure a life of ridicule for their indiscretion. I do, however, feel that I should be able to see what the offender is being forced to register for and draw my own conclusions. I am smart enough to realize that getting drunk and relieving yourself on a public sidewalk or showing your hind-quarters as a harmless prank is much different than enticing a child for illicit and immoral purposes.
Unfortunately for parents and concerned relatives who are unwittingly living next to a potential re-offender, the PRoM has decided that you are not intelligent enough to discern between indiscretions and more serious crimes.
Hopefully, one day the PRoM will realize that its citizens are capable of rational thought and begin to mirror other states whose websites are much more informative and helpful.
Until then, we'll just have to keep rolling the dice with our childrens' safety. |
| Posted by: x (not registered) on April 03, 2007 at 06:56 pm | | Of all the sites, I have never seen so many frightened people . as in this group. This now has a name: "Preditor Panic". Intigated by the media, I might add. Please read the Dept. of Justice FACTS about sexual offenders. It amazes me that people years ago let their children leave home to walk to school and play outdoors until dark. What is wrong with you all? Do you realize that sexual abuse has actually dropped over the past decade? That is less common than it was 20 years ago? Hey, you want to live in fear and hate a group of folks all your life, go ahead. But REMEMBER: Statistics suggest that the offender is most likely someone you know or in your own family! Now THAT should scare ya! Check out the facts about this crime and stop scaring the heck out of your family. |
| Posted by: Hexgirl (Tammy) (not registered) on April 03, 2007 at 08:19 pm | | Florida may list the offenders and the preditors, but when it comes to protecting the children, they lack alot of careing, and emotions towards that child as well as the familys. I have been going through the court system for almost a year, we were promised certain things that would happen, and let down to be framkly blunt. At least the man is now in prision for 7 years out of which he will searve 85% percent of the sentence, and be labled as a Preditor for life. To me that is not long enough for the innocence he took from my 10 year old son whom was 9 at the time, but thats a question I will never know how easy these so's have it. So from knowing my personal exp... FLorida may regester, but they are far from harsh enough on these perverts. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on April 05, 2007 at 08:01 pm | | why not have yahoo, google or mapquest draw circles around schools and child day care or congregation places showing 1,000 feet and do the same for the offenders addresses. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on April 06, 2007 at 01:47 am | | This is typical of self-destructive thought patterns. Your politicians as a group sense their own guilt ( and possibly temptations) and seek forgiveness for their own crimes by being charitable with the crimes of others. It will also assuage their guilty consciences by implicitly telling themselves that "everybody does it". Not true - I don't. If we continue to make excuses for and minimize bad behavior (like not bringing it fully into the open - showing the pictures) then we can expect more and worse bad behavior. Why is this simple principle being universally ignored?

| Posted by: diane (not registered) on April 10, 2007 at 11:10 pm | | I just have a comment... I understand the need to notify the public about sex offenders. PLEASE dont get me wrong. But let me give you a scenario.. Say your dating someone and he/she have children from a previous relationship. Well after dating them for a while, you decide that the relationship isnt working out.. Well, say he/she are so devistated about the break up that they brainwash or make the children to say you touched them. Next thing you know, your being taken to court for touching/raping or molesting this child. You KNOW your innocent, your ex knows your innocent but you get sentenced to jail for the next 5 or more years for a crime you DID NOT commit. Then you get out and your picture is plastered all over every paper. Your picture is in EVERY post office, school, library, internet, police office etc.. Not only that, but VERY time you apply for a job it comes up.. AND your address AND job address is posted every where you go. How fair is that?? I have a problem with this because I know of someone who that personally happened to.. Just sit for a minute and think about this happening to you. Dont just ponder the situation. ACTUALLY put yourself and think about that happening to you.. How do you make a living? How do you prove your actually innocent when your name is EVERY WHERE!!! Dont you think, if it was you, finding a decent job or a decent place to live is going to absolutely impossible!!??? Dont get me wrong, I think pedifiles should strung up and have their..... well never mind.. But I also know their are innocent men/women out their that lives are totally ruined behind having to register as a sex offender |
| Posted by: Hexgirl on April 14, 2007 at 10:13 pm |  | THIS IS IN REFF... TO THE COMMENT ABOVE.. I AGREE WITH YOU ON SOME PARTS BUT ON THE BRAIN WASHING PART WITH THE CHILDREN SICKENS ME THAT SOME PARENTS WOULD DO THAT AND I AM SURE THERE ARE, BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE THAT DO NOT WANT TOO OPEN UP TO THE FACT THAT THE CHILD WAS MOLESTED, WOULD USE THAT AS A WAY OUT. I HAVE SEEN THAT USED IN ALOT OF MOLESTATION CASES THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEMS, AS WELL AS THE DEF.. ATTORNEYS TO TRY TOO HELP THE OFFENDER GET OFF. IT IS SADD THAT IT COMES TOO PEOPLE THINKING THIS WAY, OR HAVEING IT REALLY HAPPEN, IT PUTS THE ONES WHOM ARE TELLING THE TRUTH AT RISK, AND IT GIVES THE STAE, AND THE GOVERMENT THE O.K. TO STILL NOT DO NOTHING TOO THESE OFFENDERS BUT KEEP LETTING THEM OUT TO CONTINUE TO RE-OFFEND, (NOT THE ONES FALSELY ACCUSED) I DO NOT CARE HOW MUCH OF MY OR YOUR TAX PAYING MONEY GOES OUT TO THESE OFFENDERS IN PRISION THEY WILL NOT CHANGE, AND IF SOME OF THEM DO THAT'S BECAUSE BUBBA SHOWED THEM IN PRISION WHAT IT FEELS LIE TO HURT A CHILD, BECAUSE I DO KNOW THEY DO NOT TAKE TOO SEXUAL PREDITORS TO WELL IN PRISION. (WHICH IS FINE WITH ME) FUTHER MORE I AM SADD FOR PEOPLE FALSELY ACCUSED BECAUSE IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE HARD TO RE-START OVER WHEN LET BACK INTO SOCIETY, BUT FOR THE ONES WHOM WERE NOT, I THINK THEY NEED TO HAVE A HARD TIME RE-ENTERING SOCIETY, AND FINDING A JOB, A PLACE TOO STAY ETC.. OUR CHILDREN WILL ALWAYS HAVE A LIFE LONG SENTENCE OF WHAT HAPPENED, THEY DO NOT GET A SECOND CHANCE, BUT THE OFFENDERS DO. I DO NOT CARE HOW YOU ADD THE MATH ON THAT, IT WILL NEVER ADD UP CORRECTLY TO ME, OR MY FAMILY, OR FRIENDS. MY LITTLE ONE IS A SURV... OF MOLESTATION. |
| Posted by: Anthony Norton (not registered) on May 03, 2007 at 09:03 pm | | Show the PICTURES! Show the information! The individuals looking at this site are concerned about their childeren! Again, proof that criminals have more RIGHTS then those who obide by the Law. This is pathetic. |
| Posted by: Mike (not registered) on May 15, 2007 at 01:51 pm | | I am apalled that level three sex offenders "which are more likely to re-offend" as defined by the Commonwealth of Mass are free to roam the streets of Boston's business district without the least bit of supervision! Yes there are several sexual predator's in the 02108 zip code and what's more appalling is they are being housed at the veterans shelter with the men and woman who fought for what we have today "FREEDOM" and its a disgrace and a slap in their face to mix these sex predator's in with the soldiers that fougjht for our country!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just wanted to share this information with you/ |
| Posted by: susan (not registered) on May 16, 2007 at 04:04 pm | | I understand the concern about sex offenders and the need to know who and where these people live. But, on the other hand people must understand that a very few of these offenders were prosecuted because of an ex spouse or deranged girlfriend and do not deeserve the lable. Some of these men will live the rest of their lives in shame and having to file, when no crime was actually committed. I currently live with one of these people. His deranged girlfriend at the time was so adament about getting him in trouble, she even asked me to punch her in the face one evening just so she could call the police and have a free girls night out. The woman was sleeping with every tom dick and harry and didn't want her boyfriend(who was home taking care of their son) to track her down and catch her in the act. She later went on to stage what the police thought was a violent sex act. He was convicted and she took his house and again slept with everything with a penis. Years later she even went to the sex offender registry board with him to try and get the ruling of sex offender over turned. The board was threatening and would do another trial, but only with the threat that his level two could go to a level three. They didn't want to take the risk. You see these people everyday deal with the real offenders and when someone innocent walks throught their door all they know how to do is threaten and treat them as thougth the are an actual offender. The board does need to be re worked. Those who are truly offenders should have their picture platered in every town and on the web. And those that are innocent need to be heard and let out of the hell that they must live. |
| Posted by: Hexgirl on May 17, 2007 at 09:45 am | | People like your friend make me madd if thats the truth. There is children, and other people who need the help that are telling the truth, and then you have people who are trying to get some sort of attenshone, or pay back that lye and get these poor inocent people in truble. And it seems from a parents point of view that the ones fasely accused get it more harsh then the ones whom are offenders. The ones who lye do not rel.... how it effects the ones whom tell the truth, and the one they are lyeing on lives. But I have learned what goes around will always come around, when you least expect it too. Tammy (Hexgirl) |
| Posted by: Concerned (not registered) on May 24, 2007 at 06:59 am | | I am looking to see where i can find out what the law is in massacusetts regarding a level 3 sex offender living with his own kids that he never touched. I have seen married couples or boyfriends that are registerd and that have kids living with them and i don't understand if they are able to or not or is that legal. I have been to the SORB site, lawyers, google search and i can't find anything. I just want to see if i am in the wrong or right. I don't know where else to look, any info would be greatly helped. |
| Posted by: Hexgirl on June 22, 2007 at 09:12 pm | | Dep. on what they did is the rights they have to be around a child. There are three types of offenders, All bad honestly dep... on what the truth of what they did, but leval three is the worst, and I know inFlorida they can not be around any child, not even their own, or a familys. But they can see their own child with supervised visits only through the Sates watch. If the State knew a person was living with a leval three offender, and with children, or a child involved not only would the children be taken from the mother, and the father, and put into protective custody, but the offender will go back to prision for violation of no contact with children. I know this from goign, and talking to Lawyers in reguards too these matters. Tammy (Hexgirl) |

| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on June 26, 2007 at 06:17 am | | Not all registered sex offenders are child molesters and predators, but those who have committed such acts against a minor child, should have detailed information about them no matter what level they are classified or change the law that such individuals are automatically classified as a level 3 sex offender. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on June 28, 2007 at 01:15 am | | It really is sad that mass. is not willing to allow parents and the community to know how is in their neighborhood. Most concern, loving parents and family member only want the best for the children the main thing being safe. Its not fair when people lie and an innocent persons life is ruined. Its also not right when a peron has been so violated that their sense of security has been brutally taken, because it really doesnt matter how much time has past it is a life long struggle to gain a peace of mind to feel safe. This world has gotten so crazy there are so many issues between the war on drugs, guns, sexual offenders , this endless war were in. Maybe because mass. has a lot of catholicchurches and alot them were involed in the scandal they didn't want that info to be so accessable. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on June 29, 2007 at 05:05 pm | | Massachusetts doesn't need to put photos of sex offenders on a website. They should simply shoot all sex offenders. Caught peeing in public? Dead. Moon someone? Dead. That way I wouldn't have to read ignorant people's comments written in ALL CAPS.

Rhode Island has a comprehensive sex offender site. In addition RI has all criminal court cases posted on line. It lists the offense(s), the date of offense, and the disposition. |
| Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on July 13, 2007 at 10:59 pm | | According to state police in NH David Cobb or "Pumpkin Man" who was convicted for attempted sexual assault on a 12 year old and posessing 100's of child porn images, lives in the state of Massachusettes and is registered there. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I searched multiple databases for him and he has NOT registered. Who monitors these perverts registrations? They are obviously not doing their job! Parents and children beware. DAVID COBB, 71 is a child molester and is running around unregistered!!!!! BE CAUTIOUS! |
| Posted by: jackie (not registered) on July 18, 2007 at 01:42 pm | | in defense of some people that have to register for not serious offenses (like peeing in public, etc). unless the person is a serious threat, then there's no reason to post that person's information for all to see. some offenses aren't what people think they are and then everything gets blown out of proportion and those people lives are ruined. i speak from experience because someone close to me has to register, but he really shouldn't have to. everyone needs to just look at the facts...a level 3 is a serious threat, therefore you can see them online and get their information. i'm not saying that every offender shouldn't have to be known, because certain ones should, definately. but, some people just can't catch a break and have to deal with name calling and hate crimes for something that wasn't what people think it was. all i say is, get the facts before you point the finger!!!! |

| Posted by: 10th grader (not registered) on July 26, 2007 at 01:32 pm | | I think not having the pictures of sex offenders is rediculious... Statistics already show that of every 1 sex offender recognized there are 10 more going unrecognized.... We should be able to know who we should be aware of when were walking down the streets..... How do you know ur child or teen isn't hanging out with a sex offender if you can't see pictures of them.... It's a scary thought for parents to let there kids go and run off till whenever not knowing where they are or who there with let alone if they know its a sex offender........ |
| Posted by: Carol (not registered) on July 26, 2007 at 04:58 pm | | Wish all that has happened in the Catholic Church, and all the information available as the recidivism rate for sexual predators, why is Massachusetts so arduously protecting the predators from the general public regarding the difficulty in finding out the information as to there whereabouts? I would think at this point in time Massachusetts would be quite a bit further along in protecting the children of the Commonwealth. My granddaughter is going to visit, and I don't have any idea where these people are in this town. Shame! |
| Posted by: Hexgirl on July 27, 2007 at 05:03 pm | | In Reguards To the 10th Grader,
Your comments are wise, and smart. But to be honest pictures really are not a help. No matter where you live there are all sorts of people out there who do things that are bad, it's just not the Offenders, and the Preditors. Everyone has to be carefull on their childrens surroundings, and who they hang with. But most important it's not always the people themselves that tend to hurt you, it can be Family members as well, the people the most closest to ya. This World is getting bigger, and more, and more, full of such bad decisions that people are making in their lives, and unf... the Laws are not really teaching them lessons in the wrong doings, and therefore they are more up to doing the crimes again when they re-enter our society. (All Crimes, not just Offenders, or Preditors) I wish by the time you grow up and reach your adult hood your children, or the children of the furture will not have to face the less harsher punishments we do as parents, grandparents, and friends see happen to the Criminals now. We do as parents have to watch our children, but no matter how good of a parent you are, or are not, things can happen, and it's all sadd really. Tammy (HexGirl) |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on August 10, 2007 at 04:49 pm | | Some of those who make comments here best look at the other side of this coin too....There are young men as young as 18 out there who have had CONSENTUAL SEX with their 14 or 15 yr old girlfriends and then the parents of the girl find out and take legal action against the boy, yes he is still a boy !! Now this 18yr old has a felony conviction and people like you want to RUIN his life...There needs to be a very big distinction between level 1 offenders and Predators !! This is not the same and should be treated much differently..The politicians neeed to stop using this issue as a platform to stir the pot and get votes...! GO back after the DRUNK drivers and leave young men like the 18 yr old who is in puppy love alone...There are others in this catagory too...and Verysad for you who think there is no help for some of these offenders...There is always hope and always help.. |
| Posted by: Hexgirl on August 11, 2007 at 08:46 am | | Well to be honest, I think they should have a Law passed to where between a certain age of a teenager the parents can not press charges on either party for having con... sex. And I do not mean that to those who were truely sexually abused. I think they already have labled the three types of Offenders properly, but the State is not being fair to the ones who have con... sex, and not harsh enough on the Preditors whom are molesting the children. as far as Offenders changeing, I feel the ones falsely labled will, because they should not have been in that situation to begain with, as for the True Preditors, yes they will get help in prision, and in hopes it works when released, but when they are out, it's like taking a child to the candy store for the first time. I am sorry but no matter who you are, if you have a sexual preff.... no matter the age, sex, color, weight, short, tall, etc.... if that is what turns you on, no Therpist can change that. So blow smoke out of someone else's A@@ Tammy (HexGirl) |
| Posted by: Hexgirl on August 11, 2007 at 08:58 am | | Another thing, for the mothers who have teenagers whom were falsely accused because of the parents getting upset over the situation, I always woundered, can you as well press charges against the teen whom had sexual contact with your child if they press charges on your child? I just can not understand for the life of myself how is it fair your teenager has to be known as a Offender for the rest of his/her life, and the other who was just as willing just gets to walk away even if it is their parents doing. I know to some people it may sound strange, but it's just a question? Another thing too, has anyone ever asked the State Attorney how they can press charges anyway, if both teens were willing? I just can not see how the State would even allow that in court, The Tax Payers money, time, etc... when how can they even say someones guilty if they both were willing to have sex? Just a question I have always had since I have been on this sight, and read alot of comments on people getting falsely accused because of the parents. Thanks, Tammy (HexGirl) |
| Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on August 14, 2007 at 07:01 pm | | What's all the fuss about David Cobb, the pumpkin man? He hasnt ever been charged anywhere with a single molestation or rape and the feds said his pictures were art and not child pornography, that's why he did 12 years in NH where they declared even stick figures child porn and not in a federal pen where child pornographers go. A NH prosecutor bamboozled us and targeted Cobb because he was a teacher at Philips Andover and a captain in the marines with a good combat record. These are all facts you can check out, not phoney claims. The guy got railroaded. |
| Posted by: mom (not registered) on August 18, 2007 at 09:22 am | | if someone is considered a level 1 does he have to register.he has just spent 2 1/2 yrs in jail.what does that make him.he is being released on august 31.that is 6 months early.his name is mark scanzillo |
| Posted by: Hexgirl on August 18, 2007 at 10:34 pm | | That makes him a Offender, and yes he wil have to reg... as one. Tammy |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on August 26, 2007 at 09:02 am | | People, There is a registered Sex Offender fighting for the Laws to be changed so that noone has the right to know that a sex offender lives next door to them. This woman is a registered sex offender her self from this state and goes by several different names. She has several different sites where she states she believes the laws should be changed. I am listing them below. Once you have finished reading her insane writings, you can go to another website to read the real truth about this woman. She yet calls herself a Advocate! Now tell me,
she wants to do the following
Abolish all provisions of state and Federal sex offender registries.. There should be no internet or other public posting of the identity, photograph, address, workplace or personal information of any offender
Whose side is she on again? She believes you don't have a right to know that Joe next door raped a 5 year old child.........when you have a 5 year old child.
here are her links

Now when your finished reading her ramblings, go here for the real truths about this REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER
She loves attention and has definately made th news.

| Posted by: Oldtimer on August 27, 2007 at 09:36 am |  | In my opinion, your site is the wrong way to deal with this subject. There seems to be lots of hate in this world without creating more of the same. Each story of abuse is different. By the way, what are YOU guilty of? |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on September 05, 2007 at 10:46 am | | I find this to be really upsetting to me, because I live with a Level 3 offender, and he made a HUGE mistake years ago, because of drugs and alcohol and now we live a good life. He's a hard working man, loves his family and friends, and has NEVER, I mean NEVER done any harm to our family or friends.... It's unfortunate that he has to show himself to everyone in the world to see online, because he made a bad mistake in life. He volunteers in the community center, to let kids/families and other offenders that things can be accomplised by someone that has gone to jail for whatever the reason may be. He also works hard at his regular job...He registers every time he gets his letter from the state, and has to take that damn picture to show the world (very unfair).... I am NOT trying to sugar coat what he did, far from it. It was terrible, and I feel bad every second of the day and so does he, but it's his past and that should not have any effect on his future. We are trying desperately to live a good life, work hard, and be happy, and we don't need people watching us... You people need a life and need to look at yourselves in the mirror before you can judge anyone!!!!! We all have our mistakes to deal with in life. Some are worse than others, but we are all human and should be treated that way. If sex offenders are to be posted online, then I think that everyone that has gone through the criminal system at one point or another should also be posted, like murderes, thiefs, etc. I live in a great community, and haven't had one single problem with neighbors, ever, and we found out just last week that one of our neighbors was convicted years ago for murdering his best friend (while drunk) and he lives with this guilt for the rest of his life. He's a hard working, loving father and husband, and it's not fair to judge him either. I can't stand people who judge others, because usually they are the one hiding something... Like I've read above, "we all have our own skeletons"... PEOPLE GET A LIFE, and live your lives to better yourselves and your family... Sincerely, one who cares!!!!!! |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on September 09, 2007 at 08:53 am | | Im originally from MA and currently stationed in VA and I was surprised to see how many sexual offenders lived in the same area that I lived in. Not only that I was REALLY surprised that there was a sexual offender living right next dorr to me and I never knew about it. THats just creepy bacause I was only 15 at the time and my little sister was 10years old. I guess we were just lucky that nothing ever happened. |
| Posted by: Just Me (not registered) on September 12, 2007 at 01:37 am | | Just so you all know, people can change. I am dating a great and wonderfull man whic I have been with for a few years now, and he is a level 2 sex offender. he got charged with having "consentual" oral sex with a 13 year old when he was 15, yeah she was not at consetual age, but girls these days do not look their age, not to mention he was only 15. tell me how you think its fair that he "should not be able to live in certain towns" or work certain places. something this sill screws up peoples lives forever. Its a mistake, and they pay for it with the jail time served and having a hard life, they dont need anymore hard times. Yes I think Rapists, should be monitered, and their information available, but level 1 and level 2 sex offenders are not that bad, yes what they did was wrong, we all know that, but they did their time, give them a break. Oh and by the way, one of my best friends is a level 1 sex offender, he was driving home from vacation and really had to pee so he pulled over to the side of the road on a not so traveled road and went behind his car, he served 6 months in jail and is now registerd level 1. you honestly think someone like that should be posted all over the place with their personal information saying that they are a sex offender? dont tell me that none of you fat mouths here have never went pee on the side of the road. Everyone does it, but some pay for it, it does not make them want to go run out and rape your kids, its as simple as they had to go to the bathroom or just plain screwed up and made a mistake, and they paid for it. |
| Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on September 12, 2007 at 06:01 pm | | Anyone who would live with a sex offender deserves to have a family member raped & murdered. How blind can you be? Sex offenders cannot be rehabilitated......CANNOT. Wake up. Hope your children are taken away from you. It is your job to protect them. |
| Posted by: Oldtimer on September 13, 2007 at 09:46 am | | "Cannot"? That is a falicy. They can and do. Where in the world did you get that idea? If the department of justice is saying about 3-5% reoffend, then that means the rest are behaving. |
| Posted by: Shannon (not registered) on September 13, 2007 at 01:36 pm | | You need to go to google, and search for "massachusetts sex offender registry" the 3rd or 4th option will let you see pics |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on September 28, 2007 at 11:02 pm | | THIS GOES OUT TO THE PERSON WHO SAID THAT LEVL 2 AND 3 SEX OFFENDERSD ARE THE ONES WE NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. WELL I SAY YOU ARE SO VERY WRONG. I MYSELF WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED.DURING THE INVESTIGATION THEY FOUND ANOTHER WOMAN WHO WAS ASSAULTED BY THE SAME MAN MONTHS AFTER HE ASSAULTED ME, BUT BECAUSE OF THIS STATES BLEEDING HEART LAWS THAT PROTECT THE CRIMINALS HE WAS ABLE TO PLEA BARGAIN TO ONLY 1 OF THE CHARGES INSTEAD OF THE 2. SO HE IS A REPEAT OFFENDER BUT ONLY A LEVEL ONE. I FEEL IF PEOPLE SAW HIS FACE THEY WOULD KNOW WHO HE WAS AND WHAT HE DID. AND TO YOUR COMMENT ABOUT SOEMONE BEING REGISTERED AS A LEVEL 1 BECAUSE THEY GOT CAUGHT PEEING BEHIND A BUSH, ABSURD. HOW ABOUT INDECENT EXPOSER. YOU ARE FORGETTING THEY KEY WORDS IN REGISTERED "SEX OFFENDER" P.S. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO GO UP TO ANY PERSON AND GRAB ANY BODY PART THAT THEY FEEL LIKE . THERE HAS TO BE A LINE. I AM MARRIED AND HAVE A DAUGHTER OF MY OWN, AND I WILL TELL YOU IF ANYONE CAME UP TO ME AND GRABBED MY BOOB NOT ONLY WOULD I BE FURIOUS BUT SO WOULDN'T MY HUSBAND. MY DAUGHTER SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE FACES OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEXUALLY VIOLATED OTHER PEOPLES RIGHTS. RECENTLY IN THE NEWS THEY SHOWED A PICTURE OF LITTLE GIRL NO MORE THAN 4 OR 5 YEARS OF AGE. ASKING "DO YOU KNOW THIS GIRL".THEY WERE LOOKING FOR HER BECAUSE THEY FOUND A VIDEO TAPE OF A MAN DOING UNSPEAKABLE THINGS TO HER. DO YOU THINK THAT MAYBE IF HER MOM AND DAD HAD SEEN HIS PICTURE MAYBE THEY WOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED HIM AND KEPT HER AWAY FROM HIM. SAY HE WASN'T A SEX OFFENDER YET, HOW ABOUT HIS NEXT VICTIM? DO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE HIS PICTURE ON A WEBSITE OR IN THE POLICE STATION. THE LITTLE GIRL IS NOW WITH HER FAMILY BUT WILL NEVER LIVE A NORMAL LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS PERVERT. WHO WILL SPEAK FOR THE VICTIMS RIGHTS? I GUESS IT WONT BE YOU! |
| Posted by: Cloudnine (not registered) on September 30, 2007 at 12:26 am | | I quote from a previous poster (and you SCARE ME):
"Anyone who would live with a sex offender deserves to have a family member raped & murdered. How blind can you be? Sex offenders cannot be rehabilitated......CANNOT. Wake up. Hope your children are taken away from you. It is your job to protect them."
Registered Sex offenders consist of people like my son, who made a drunken mistake when he was younger (and the "innocent young thing" was in the adult bar where my son was of a legal age to be in). RSO's also consist of people who left bars and took a whiz outside and got caught. Also on the list is the mother who let her pregnant daughters b/f live with them. The mom did nothing but let the guy stay at the house for 2 weeks. My son is a union carpenter and his dear sweet fiancee is a mortgage loan processor. They have a 6 figure income and drive a brand new Honda Accord. Good, hard working taxpayers, just doing what normal folks do. OH, and btw, my son accomplished all this in the less than 3 years he has been out of prison for sex he NEVER had. So to say that my sweet girl (son's g/f) deserves to have someone she loves raped and murdered only convinces me further of what the weak politicians know but are too afraid to say out loud for fear that their votes will be hurt....It is a modern day Witch Hunt and people are acting out of anger and fear. OH, and BTW, any of you guys that had sex before age 18 belong on the list~~ |
| Posted by: Margaret Parsons (not registered) on October 04, 2007 at 11:56 pm | | I live in Virginia and last night when my son brought home a man he met at the "music store" who wanted to "jam" with my son's band, I got his name and looked him up on the Virginia Sex offender registry and there was his picture - no shadow of a doubt. I printed the listing, chased him off my property and called the police. Turns out they met online, he has been giving my son money for CD's and this has been going on for sometime. This convict is a musician also and has a website, showing pictures of himself with kids while he plays "gigs" at local middle schools. The Virginia Sex Offender webpage may have saved my family and I cannot believe that Massachusetts - where I hail from - does not have a similar site. If this had happened there, that man would be free to operate as he does and who knows what might have happened to my impressionable son....get it together MA - or I'm never coming back! |
| Posted by: eagle13 (not registered) on October 17, 2007 at 12:21 pm | | Take a look at who's senator! Old Teddy doesn't want his name nor anyone in his family to be posted. I always hated Massachusetts anyways and that's why I don't live there. They press the old puritan meaningless laws and something as important as Megan's Law and sex offender registry is not important to them and on the back burner. |
| Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on October 23, 2007 at 06:58 pm | | To the person who wished someones child to be raped and killed.. a very inconsiderate comment wishing something like that. Really no different that an SO, why would you even wish something like that? Anyway, most SO's do not re-offend, especially those who get treatment. (most other crimes such as drug dealing (still hurts children), and dui, burglary, etc have much higher recidivism rates) It is also being proven that registries do little good (although they can, and the lady above is an exception, not the rule). If you truly want to help, hatred and threats do no good. If you want to help, maybe you can take your roll, and ask how you can help. The sad truth is, there are many many more men and women out there doing sex offenses and not being caught then there are those who are caught. So the best we can do is educate our children. To those who are victims, I am a victim and had to make a decision that the people who hurt me can not rule my life anymore, and I forgave her and him. ((yes her and him, I was molested several times by both a man and a women when I was a child) (look up forgiveness in the dictionary)
take care

| Posted by: Cloudnine (not registered) on October 27, 2007 at 01:10 am | | Kudos to the state of Georgia and the sensible people who let Mr. Wilson go! Maybe we can change this ridiculous thing around.
Most lawmakers are too worried about losing votes, even though they know the system is a failure, but guess what folks...as the list grows, so does the families of people on the list, who are registered voters. I for one (and most of my very large family) will now vote against the ridiculous laws that are ruining my son's life.
FROM IOWA:
Sen. Keith Kreiman, Democratic co-chairman of the Judiciary Committee, says he expects the law to be revised but not repealed. "It is very politically risky to even hold hearings," he says, because lawmakers who change the rules could be called "soft on crime."
FROM OKLAMOHA:
Sgt. Gary Stansill, head of the Tulsa Police Department's sex-crimes unit, says the current law applies to too many offenders and that he spends "way, way too much of my time" trying to enforce it. He says he investigates as many cases of sex offenders not registering as he investigates rape reports. He considers less than 10% of the state's 8,000 convicted sex offenders to be high-risk and is lobbying lawmakers to focus on them.
FROM FLORIDA:
"Residency restrictions have a lot of unintended consequences," says Jill Levenson, professor of human services at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. She says many offenders are "more likely to resume a life of crime" if pushed into rural areas, because they have less access to jobs and mental health services that bring them needed stability.
Levenson surveyed 135 sex offenders in Florida, which passed a law in 2003 barring those who hurt children from living within 1,000 feet of where kids gather. Most said they had been careful not to commit crimes near their homes, so residency rules made little difference. Others said that even outside restricted areas, they live near kids.
The list goes on and on of states and communities realizing that these laws are doing more harm than good. Wake up, folks. |

| Posted by: Linda (not registered) on November 06, 2007 at 11:53 am | | Why are Level 2 sex offenders protected in the State of Massachusetts. These men and women have been determined by the State that there is a risk that they will offend again. As a parent and a woman living alone. It would be nice to know who if ones neighbor is a sex offender. Who is the State protecting. My family or the rapist or child preditor |
| Posted by: Cloudnine (not registered) on November 06, 2007 at 06:15 pm | | Linda, unless everyone else moved out and left me behind, I still live in the United States and we have a constitution. Which is being seriously violated by current sexual offender residency restrictions in many states and public notification of home addresses, email addresses etc. A level 2 sexual offender is just "more at risk" to offend then a level one. The recividism rate of even a level 3 is lower than any other crime. It is not a matter of who is "protected". An RSO has just as much right to protection under our constitution as you do. Your last statement says "who is the State protecting? My family or the rapist or preditor (sic)". It is wrong to classify RSOs as "rapist or predators". Over 95% of the over 600,000 people on this list are of no threat whatsoever to society. You say it would be nice to know if your neighbor is a sex offender...Well, I say this: Under current laws, ANY of you who had sex under age 18 belong on this list. If you ever peed outside, YOU belong on this list. Come on, folks....keep it up...eventually you will have so many on there that us voters against these ridiculous laws will overwhelm you LOL~ |
| Posted by: Meg (not registered) on December 02, 2007 at 10:34 am | | I am a teacher who believes a father walking in and out of our school is a level 2 offender. He offered a ride to a young girl from his neighborhood and I cannot believe this information is not available for everyone to see. This in an injustice to all of the victims and potential victims to not be able see a picture of these monsters!! |
| Posted by: Oldtimer on December 02, 2007 at 04:17 pm | | Meg, did it ever cross your mind that the man may not be harmful? If he is a danger, most states would not allow him to be in a school with children. Something seems wrong, here. You recognize him as an offender, so just keep watch of him when he is around kids...or, ask the guidance counsellor of your school to question the children about what went on. It appears you may be (IMHO) a bit obsessed with this particular offender . |
| Posted by: N/A (not registered) on December 09, 2007 at 11:11 pm | | I can't believe the arguments being made here. You DO know that a sexual offender is not just a guy who has sex with young girls/boys....but just about EVERY comment made here is about wanting to show their children pictures of sexual offenders...If you were really that concerned, you wouldn't mind taking a few minutes to drive to the local police station and fill out a few forms...I mean, I'm not siding with any sexual offender, but do you REALLY think that they would post the pictures and information of these people on the internet against their will? I mean, they committed a crime...and I'm sure that if they're registered sex offenders, they suffered the consequence. Again, I'm not siding with the criminals, I'm just certainly not siding with anyone who's not willing to take a few hours out of their day to protect their children. |
| Posted by: Oldtimer on December 10, 2007 at 02:32 pm | | N/A: Offenders today plea bargain NOT to register. That means some (years past offenders) must register for life and today's offender is free of it. I spoke to a judge yesterday who said that it runs 4 to 1 approx. that get relief from registering as part of their plea bargain. Now is that is justice? |
| Posted by: janet (not registered) on December 17, 2007 at 12:37 am | | I was raped my a monster from massachusetts he came to michigan and met me under way false pretenses and kidnapped me and rapped me numerous times brought me back to mass. and was eventually caught. He was charged but the state of michigan didn't want to pay extradition charges so he got off. Now tell me why is this man on the website "myspace" he is classified as a level 3 offender.... Please everyone becareful letting your children on there. I don't want there youth stolen like mine was. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on December 20, 2007 at 11:30 am | | Most of you that are commenting on how to protect the children should really pick upp a book or pay attention to the statistics. The truth is that most sex offendes are related to you. Another point is that a person can be a sex offender without being a pedophile. If someone grabs a brest of a grown woman, how does that translate into an attraction of children. It's simple, if you want to protect your kids then pay attention to whom they're with and also the numbers. There's a reason why statistics exist and why we use them. Further ostracization of this one particular group of people puts your family more at risk. They know what they did and have to live that shame and consequences, not all of them legal, for the rest of their lives. For a better future for our kids we need better funding for our schools and police, not to a continued pointed finger at an easy target. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on December 29, 2007 at 05:39 pm | | The People of Massachusetts have again acquired the "scarlet Letter" mentality. I believe it's true that children need protection from sexual predators. But I also believe that EX-OFFENDERS need to be able to cultivate age appropriate adult relationships. Registration, Safe Zones, and the like are not the answer to this problem that has plagued civilization since the dawn of man. Reintegrating as a law abiding citizen after a long prison sentence is hard enough, but to publicly humiliate, defame, and disgrace these offenders will only lead to greater violence. I for one oppose registrations with public notification. I also oppose restrictions on where sex offenders can live, because these laws will never prevent sex crimes from occurring. Sorry, but facts are facts. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on December 30, 2007 at 02:46 pm | | You people really make me sick. May be you should be banned from internet access for being so frakking stupid! Let me tell you something, Everyone is guilty of a CRIME! In fact, it turns out that the ones that try to draw attention to others are the likely culprits of said crime! Take some time to read the facts. I was lured in by a 16 year old whom had averaged a new sex partner every month for the 2 years since her virginity had been taken by a 24 year ol man. Do I deserve to register for life? Not all sex offenders are molesters or pedophiles. By law, RSO's with victims under the age of 12 are pedophiles. Neither does it make them child molesters or rapists. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on January 05, 2008 at 03:34 pm | | How come none of these need to register, the way sex offenders do: murderers, manslaughterers, lethal drunk drivers, drug dealers, kidnappers, attempted murderers, home invaders, terrorists, arsonists? Public urination, a pat on the butt or breast under the influence, or even molestation-- is that much worse than those other crimes? What's the matter with this society's values? |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on January 08, 2008 at 01:47 pm | | As a motheer and also a victim of sexual acts i do agree with the state some what about not posting pictures. I think a LEVEL ONE person's info SHOULD NOT BE POSTED but a level 2 and level 3 yes w/ detailed info. i also believe that if a level one it should say what this person has done not all sex offenders are molisters/rapist. I do know one person who has to file for peein behind a tree at nite time no place was open for this person to go and use and could no longer hold it i also know another person who has to file for grabbin a boob when he was 14 the girl was 15 and thats all that happened. What society has to know is that not everyone who has to registry is a rapist. Also i think it has gotten out of control with when people have to file. If you get caught peein outside pay a hefty fine if you get caught again a higher fine the third maybe a week or two in jail. A person under the age of 18 that DID NOT rape should not haver to file. if every young man/female got brought to court for touchin a breast or body part almost all teenagers would have to file. I'm sure at one point in everyone's life you have either pee'd outside/ touched a boob/had ur boob touched by a friend. Dont get me wrong there should be some type of discipline but a child under 18 shouldnt have to registry i'm sure we can find another way for teenagers this hurts them once they are adults. A teenager is curious about their body parts as well as others. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on January 08, 2008 at 11:35 pm | | please if your child ever commits an offense of that nature, you would certainly not want them to be on a website like this, you are talking about the rights of another human being here, just like we all have rights, everyone is a sinner, it is just that human beings want to put labels on what is right and waht is wrong in their minds. I am more concerned of a killer or serial killer living next door than a child molestor down the street who will probably never reoffend, only 5% reoffend, other types of crimes from drug traffic, burglary, murderers an astounding 25 % to reoffend |

| Posted by: flrso (not registered) on January 17, 2008 at 07:55 pm | | It seems as if too much unjustified hype surrounds this issue of what information should or should not be posted online. As a registered sex offender in another state, i have had my life turned upside down by one moment of indiscretion and a poor choice. At least MA, realizes that different types of sex offenders/predators exist ou there. the laws original intent was to inform the public about the most evil vile predators, those who are likely to kidnap, rape and kill our children. several of us offenders are trying to live normal productive lives in society, putting our past behind us. at least MA offers that chance. i have lost jobs, and a girlfriend because of others having access to information that wouldnt be available to them in ma, and i know im not at risk of reoffending. everyone needs to put there fears aside and stop stereotyping individuals because of a crime. it is more likely that your children will run into unscrupoloous drug dealers that will get them hooked and then ruin their lives by their drug addiction leading to a life of crime. everything, everyone's circumstances are different and the law should recognize that. thank god the state of MA has the courage to stand up to the hysteria of the masses and do what is right by the law, constituion and moral right. those who deserve to have their lives out their for the public for their atrocious acts are, though they should be locked up longer |

| Posted by: Oldtimer on February 06, 2008 at 08:03 pm | | For Neurotic Parents: "OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day.And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms.......
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!"--internet message |

YOUR OUTLOOK ON THIS IS NORMAL FOR A PERSON WHO'S BEEN IN THE SHOES OF A PREDITOR,. AND YES, I KNOW YOU HAVE CHANGED, AND HAS HAD THERPY, BLAH!!! BLAH!!!BLAH!!! LOOK THERE ARE PARENTS OUT THERE WHOM DO NOT CARE, I AGREE WITH, BUT THERE IS ALSO PARENTS OUT THERE WHOM CARE, AND THINGS LIKE THIS SICKENS THEM, AND ANGERS THEM. I ALSO KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHOM ARE FALSELY LABLED AS A OFFENDER, PREDITOR, AND I FEEL BADLY FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY TOO ARE VIC.. THEMSELVES, AS OUR CHILDREN, AND PEOPLE ARE WHOM'S BEEN MOLESTED, RAPED, ETC...
YOU CAN NOT COMPARE WHAT YOUR WRIGHTING'S ARE TO A CHILD, OR HUMAN BEING GETTING MOLESTED, RAPED, ETC... THOSE ARE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN WITH NORMAL EVERY DAY LIVING, BUT PEOPLE WHO MOLESTE ARE NOT NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS, AND IT'S NOT A PART OF EVERY DAY LIVING, IT;S A PART OF A NIGHTMARE THAT DOES NOT GO AWAY, YES IN TIME YOU CAN BECOME A SURVIOR, BUT YOU'LL ALWAYS CARRY THE PAIN, EVEN WITH THERPY, AND MEDS... SO THIS SHIT YOU TYPED ON HERE IS JUST THAT. TAMMY RICH

| Posted by: Oldtimer on February 07, 2008 at 07:52 pm | | Hex: Something must have ticked you off. That outdoor information is going around the net and has gone around years ago. It is not mine, so there is no need to attack. The purpose of it (IMHO) ,is to let people know that in today's world, parents are so protective of their children that they create a dependency that prevents the kids from going outside to play with their peers. You are being told by this story, that things have not changed that much , where everyone has to live in fear of rape. One thing that kicked off this circus, was the fact that kids were being kidnapped by one of the divorced parents and society was thinking the kid was kidnapped by some pervert. I mean....what are the odds here? Your child was hurt by a family member...not by some person in the park down the street. I have tried to neutral on this issue. I know where you stand. |
| Posted by: Hex on February 08, 2008 at 08:56 am | | OLDTIMER,
EVEN IF IT IS GOING ACROSS THE INTERNET, WHEN YOU TYPE SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON HERE, PARENTS WHOM CARE, WILL GET UPSET, ESP, IF THEIR CHILD WAS ONE WHOM GOT MOLESTED, NOT TO MINSHONE THE PARENT AS WELL. WHOM EVER THOUGHT OF THAT TO TYPE HAS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE PAIN, AND SUFFERING THE VIC... GO THROUGH, EVEN THE VIC... WHOM WERE FALSE LABLED AT THAT ONE. WHEN I FIRST CAME ON HERE, I ADMIT I WAS OUT FOR ALL OFFENDERS, AND PREDITORS UNTIL I READ ALOT, AND LEARNED THAT THEY CAN BE VIC... THEMSELVES, AND I HAD A OPEN MIND, UNLIKE THIS STORY YOU TYPES THAT IS GOING THROUGH THIS INTERNET. YOU DON'T TYPE SOMETHING YOU DON;T AGREE WITH, AND THAT IS WHAT MADE ME MADD, HONESTLY, YES, THEIR ARE PARENTS WHOM FREAK OVER EVERYTHING, BEING A MOTHER OF FOUR, I HAVE SEEN THAT FIRST HAND, BUT WITH THE WAY THE WORLD IS TODAY IT'S HARD NOT TO BLAME THEM FOR THEIR THOUGHTS, AND CAREING WAYS. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, IT DOES MAKE IT HARD FOR THEM TO GROW UP AND BECOME AN ADULT, BECAUSE YOUR NOT LETTING THEM GROW, YES CHILDREN GET HURT, AND THINGS HAPPEN TO THEM, BUT ONLY NORMAL THINGS, THAT A CHILD SHOULD GO THROUGH. BEING HURT BY SOMEONE YOU TRUST, AND LOVE, AND BEING FORCED TO HAVE SEX, AND DO THINGS TO PLEASE SOMEONE FOR THEIR PLEASURE, AS A CHILD, OR RAPE VIC... IS NOT SOMETHING NORMAL ANY ONE, ESP... A CHILD SHOULD GO THROUGH, I KNOW FIRST HAND, AND UNF... MY SON. I AM ALL FOR A CHILD BEING A CHILD, BUT THIS STORY IS AN EXCUSE FOR THE PERSON WHOM TYPED IT, TO STILL CONTINUE HIS, OR HER PREDITOR WAYS, AND THAT IS SICK. AND YES, IT WAS MY SON'S (EX)- UNCLE, WHOM MOLESTED HIM, AND UNF... IT WAS FAMILY, BUT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING EXCEPT THAT SOMETIMES FAMILY'S ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED, WHEN IN ALL REALITY, THOSE ARE THE ONES YOU WOULD NEVER THINK WOULD HURT, OR HARM YOUR CHILD. SO NO MATTER WHAT WALK OF LIFE YOU COME FROM, ALWAYS BE CAREFULL NO MATTER IF THEIR YOUR FAMILY, OR FRIENDS. THAT IS THE TRUTH. TAMMY RICH (HEXGIRL) |
| Posted by: Oldtimer on February 08, 2008 at 08:52 pm | | Tammy: The internet story is NOT about sexual offenders and I am sure has nothing to do with it. It simply says how it used to be...and how it still COULD be. It is simply saying how unafraid people were back then. Nothing has changed between then and now, except "parenting" (IMO). Do you not think our mothers weren't concerned about preditors? They were, back then. There was kidnapping and rape back in the forties and fifties and sixties. Kids were told not to take candy from strangers...or to report weird stuff to the cops or parents back then. The only thing really different from back then and now is the unending fear people now have of EVERYTHING. As so many have said on this site: The registry will NOT make your kid safe. Only your love and attention will. Only educating your child will. Your child's molestation was by a family member...who would expect this? It was not your fault and certainly not your child's fault. It was the family member who did wrong. It is time now to heal for the benefit of your child. |
| Posted by: Hex on February 08, 2008 at 09:40 pm | | OLDTIMER,
THAT IS SOMETHING A MOTHER CAN NEVER HEAL FROM, BUT YES, CAN GO ON WITH LIFE, AND TRY TOO LIVE EACH DAY TO HOPE AND PREY MY CHILDREN ARE SAFE NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE, OR WHO'S AROUND THEM. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT I AM NOT TO BLAME FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM, EVEN THOUGH IT'S HARD AS HELL NOT TOO. I ALSO HAVE LEARNED EVEN THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS, YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE ON YOUR LIFE PATH, AND ALLOW YOUR CHILDREN TO DO THE SAME THING, OR THEY WILL NOT GROW, BUT THAT IS HARD TOO. I DO AGREE THAT A PERSON WHOM MOLESTES, REALLY IS SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY, MORE SO THEN A STRANGER, MORE ADULTS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, HAVE BEEN RAPED, BY STRANGERS, AND MORE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN MOLESTED BY MORE FAMILY MEMBERS THEN THEIR FAMILY'S FRIENDS, OR THEIR NEIGHBORS. SO EVEN THOUGH THIS IS HARD, NO MATTER WHAT YOU CAN PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN, OR CHILD, BUT SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN TO THEM BY SOMEONE YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT. HEX |

Stand up and speak out. I hate this tattletale stuff on here. You never know if the facts are true, or someone has a vandetta they want to settle...or a divorce they want to happen. You know this is happening? Then speak to the cops or keep it to youself. Sorry if this is harsh, but geez. |

BUT THE ONES YOU NEED TO REALLY WORRY ABOUT ARE YOUR CLOSE FREINDS, OR FAMILY, NOT THE ONES WHOM ARE LISTED IN OYUR AREAS, HAFE OF THEM ARE ONLY OFFENDERS, DUE TO THE AGE OF HAVING SEX, AND THE PARENT GETTING PISSED OFF, ETS..

| Posted by: Bluebird1 (not registered) on March 21, 2008 at 04:52 pm | | I am married to a level 3 sex offender. We have been married 2 years and at times it has been really rough. The state did not stipulate that he register as a condition of his release but he did have to have a SO Parole officer. (If you have violent offense, like assault, they will also require special supervision and a leg monitor in Texas) His PO wrote the state and requested that he register. So, he was not registered when we met but had to later. It has been financially difficult for us because people will interview him, like him, and then do the background check. Praise God there was one place that gave him a chance. They had the wherewithall to get information from his counselor regarding how possible it was that he might re-offend or be a threat to co-workers. His counselor stated that it was unlikely. They received several letters of recommendation from numerous supervisors regarding his hard working, reliable performance. One even stating, "I wish I had more like him," and no females had EVER felt theatened or unsafe around him. Eventually they hired him. The process was long and uncomfortable for him considering that his offense was a full 20+ years ago, with a consenting female, who was cheating on her boyfriend. When her b/f found out, he demanded that she report the incident like she had been raped, her mother was the one who pressed charges. Even in court she stated that she was not "raped," and it's not because she was afraid of him, for those of you who would like to read more into it. To no avail.
I think the sex-offender laws do need some serious revision. Each offender should not be judged by a number. People are judgemental and naive and just plain ignorant, and most fail to research and get the facts. The news maybe the only source of information that they get. There needs to be another way to categorize SO's. I agree with all of you who say that the nay sayers should do some research. I did, and I found out what you all all ready know, the low residivisim rates of SO's, specifically those who have gone through a counseling/rehabilitation program for sex offenders and those who have done nothing wrong. And mainly, I agree that your family and friends are who you really need to watch. Both my brother and myself were sexually "abused" by older boy cousins. We didn't tell, after all, they were our family. No, it's not the people on the registry that you need to be afraid of.

| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on March 21, 2008 at 05:07 pm | | Everytime the news comes on with a sex offender story I cringe. The media has served as the vehicle to increase the stereotypes and histeria. They report the worst cases and completely fail to report the FACTS about sexual offenders, recidivism rates, and who is most likely to offend. This makes me the most angry along with the whole not being able to get a job thing.
There was a time when I would have said, put these SO's on an island. Who cares about them seeing their families. They can molest each other on the island where decent people don't live. But now, I've learned that life does not work that way and that it's not that black & white.
If you have children, do not assume that the reverend, the uncle, the cousin, or the husband or neighbor is not going to touch your children in an inappropriate way. My cousin walked in on her husband molesting her grandchild, in the livingroom of their house. How devestating. He was not a RSO. Educate your children about what is and is not appropriate. |
| Posted by: Hex on March 21, 2008 at 09:26 pm | | YES, YOU SHOULD TEACH YOUR CHILDREN ON THE RIGHT TOUCH, AND BAN TOUCH. BUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU TEACH YOUR CHILDREN BEING OFFENDED, CAN STILL HAPPEN TO THEM. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CHILD TO KNOW IT'S SAFE TO COME TALK TO THE PARENT ABOUT ANYTHING, SO THE LINES OF COMUNICATION STAYS OPEN AT ALL TIMES, ESP... IN THIS DAY AND AGE. THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE, AND I CAN NOT EVEN START TO THINK HOW IT WILL BE WHEN MY CHILDREN GROW UP, AND HAVE CHILDREN OF THEIR OWN. BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS THESE SEXUAL OFFENDERS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO THESE CHILDREN, AND THEY BRAIN WASH THEM INTO THINKING WHAT THEY SAY IS FACTUAL, OR THEY SCEAR THEM TO DEATH TO KEEP QUIET, EITHER WAY NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU PARENT, THINGS CAN HAPPEN, ESP... WITH FAMILY MEMBERS, AND CLOSE FRIENDS, THOSE ARE THE ONES YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT, YOU DO NOT HEAR OF RAPE MUCH ANYMORE, AND WHEN YOU DO, IT'S A STRANGER, AND WHEN IT'S INVOLVING SEXUAL ABUSE IT'S THE FAMILY, OR FRIEND. TRUST ME I KNOW, AND I WISH I DID NOT. ANOTHER THING, THEY NEED NOT TO PLACE ALL OFFENDERS IN THE CAT... THEY HONESTLY ARE NOT, NOT ALL OFFENDERS ARE THAT, THEY ARE JUST DOING THE SAME THINGS WE DID AS TEENAGERS, AND FOR THE PARENTS TO GET MADD, AND RUIN THEIR LIVES, IS BEYOUND ME ANYMORE, DOWN RIGHT STUPID, AND A WAIST OF TAX PAYERS MONEY, THEY NEED TO PAY ATTENSHONE TO THE REAL OFFENDERS, AND GO FROM THERE, TAMY RICH (HEXGIRL, HEX) FLORIDA WOMEN |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on March 22, 2008 at 01:45 am | | I believe that everyone has a second chance to change their life. Families with sex offenders have a right to live and get on with their lives. They are on registry and you dont see people being found guilty of dealing drugs on any registry. These people have served their time and have a right live their life without being harassed by the government and the public. |
| Posted by: Hex on March 24, 2008 at 12:31 pm | | WELL I DISAGREE, AND AGREE. THE ONLY REASON I AGREE IS THIS, ALOT OF THESE OFFENDERS LABLED, ARE MORE BECAUSE OF TEENAGE PARENTS GETTING UPSET, AND BEFORE ANYONE KNOWS IT YOU ARE IN COURT, THEN LABLED A OFFENDER. WHICH IS WRONG. NOW I THINK PEOPLE WHO TRULEY HURT SOMEONE, EVEN IF IT'S NOT SEXUAL RELATED, SHOULD BE POSTED SOME HOW, BUT WE KNOW IT DOES'NT WORK THAT WAY. AS FOR THE (TRUE) OFFENDERS, AND PREDITORS GETTING A SECOND CHANCE, THEY DO, THAT IS WHY THEY GET OUT OF PRISION, THAT IS THEIR SECOND CHANCE INTO OUR SOCIETY, BUT LIKE WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN IF YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG, THERE IS ALWAYS A CONQ... THAT WILL HAPPEN, THE MORE SERIOUS THE SITUATION, THE MORE HARSH THE PUNISHMENT IS GOING TOO BE. SO I DISAGREE THERE WI |
