	the last person who wrote on the 25th seems like an idiot and probably is an offender to write something so stupid.

	I know someone who got in trouble when he was 18, and was branded for life for it, yet he hasnt been in trouble with law ever again, he 's a devoted single father of 3 children and a devoted christian and yet his life will never be the same, but yet in my eyes and others hes a great man

I am so glad that my friends showed me this website. I can now walk down the street and recognize if someone's a threat or not. All sex offenders need to be dealt with. Rape and molestation is disgusting. I am 14 and at my high school, we have started groups and clubs raising awareness. i think this sight is very helpful. Samantha P.S. I THINK ALL SEX OFFENDERS SHOULD HAVE THEIR FAVORITE BODY PARTS REMOVED!!!!!!!!!!! THEY DISGUST ME!

ignorance is not an excuse for the law.....I am sure he is a christian now and very well maybe a GOOD MAN. However, Most people who committ sex crimes (etc.) are usually discribed as that; A good person. It is how they wish to be viewed to trick society. The outside may have changed but the inisde is still the same. Every case is always up for review and determining the circumstances is up to a jury.. There are different definitions as to what type of an offender can be.

I agree with thehunter on all points. To the person who kept writing "yet" about being a good Christian or whatever are you talking about someone you are close too?! If he is such a good guy then let's see him admit his crime to his children that he should not be allowed to have because people who do that kind of stuff are the biggest hypocrits when it comes to protecting their own family. Anyone who is sick enough to do such crimes need to be removed from society for good. It's not a mistake it is a PRE-MEDATED perverted control issue. An eye for an eye is what I say.

	I can't be bothered with anything these days, but such is life. I don't care. So it goes. More or less nothing seems worth thinking about. I've just been hanging out waiting for something to happen, but that's how it is.

	Why is it that an offender in IN doesn't have to reg. here after he moves to NC? He is reg. there, but his offence happened here.

well this is a very hard subject for me because I was molested as a child then years later was raped as an adult it took years for me to learn to cope with what had happened to me as a child then when I got raped when I got older I all but had a nervus break down so my feelings on this subject runn very deep now to top it off in the trailor park I live in a child molester has moved in to one of the rentals I own my home and can't afford to move it and the guy that rents his trailor to this pervert says we all are over reacting cause we want him out of here but the way I feel is that a child molester or a rapest should be fixxed so they can't even ever have any kind of sex again and they should lock them up and throw away the key but I could think of some torcherous ways to punish them but it's not legal so it can't be done but either case they are very sick people or evil one I haven't figured out which I say evil but everybody else says sick but they should take all sexual offenders and put them on an Island right by their self that way they can't hurt any one else cause I don't ever want anyone to go through what I went through and may God bless you if you do ever have to go through it

Not all people found "guilty" of these crimes are actually guilty. Minors can still be told what to say and/or be threatened by family members to make false accusations. Defense gets costly, people give up fighting even though they will be branded for life by lies told in the same courts that are said to be there to protect all citizens. Each case. Accuser and the accused must be looked at individualy. Both before and after conviction. And no. I am not a offender. I am an educated individual that treats each person fairly and looks at ALL sides and players in the courts

	All the cops and courts need to put a male on here is a female to SAY it happened. The female gets rewarded and the male's life is over! Female sexual offenders get off very light, if there is any punishment at all. It will always be so. The cops and courts work exclusively for females exclusively!

I think that anyone who sexually violates someone should have the same done to them in the worst kind of torturous way. They are inhuman and shouldn't be aloud to walk the streets. They should all be put on a deserted island where there were no hopes of escape surrounded by psycho of their own kind. The problem in America today is our society has no one to blame but self because we choose those who make our laws and if we don't like them, find someone to uphold our beliefs. It is the same as killing someone because the victim is robbed of there soul!!!!

Posted by: Mom of the molested (not registered) on August 04, 2006 at 08:46 pm

Molestation is one of the hardest,most horrible and lasting crimes ever commited. Firstly, my daughter was 15 years old and was molested by her step-father. He has since paid off many to make them believe it was only a lie by a disrespectful teenager. She was "molested for three years and held her silence. My husband now ex, degraded and hurt all the family around him. My daughter whose life he dismissed as nothing but to fill his own pleasures now lives across the country without family or support, because she wanted away from him. Not only does this destroy marriages but it ruins all lives and relationships around the person. This man deserves a stiff jail sentence but he scared my daughter so much she ran. now she is of age so I could not help her take him to court. These types of men are narrastic and sociopaths that feed on thier victems then blame everyone else for thier problems . I hope North Carolina destroys these offenders lives as they do thier victems.

I would just like to say, if you go the NC general assembly you will find how EASY it can be for someone to be labled a 'sex offender' or 'chhild sexual molester' and have their lives ruined. The exact wording is..."If someone touches a child on ANY part of their person and it is PERCEIVED by someone to have been of a sexual nature they have commited a crime of a sexual offense. How many of us have NOT rubbed a child on the back or patted them on an arm or leg. I hate to say it but, in our state, there, but for the grace of God could go any one of us! All it would take would be a young boy or girl dying for attention, a police officer looking for their fifteen minutes of fame and an overzealous prosecutor looking to be elected judge! Not EVERYTHING is as it may appear...no matter how flat you make a pancake...it still has two sides and in the state of North Carolina, if a person cannot PROVE they didn't commit these acts...say hello to Central Prison!

This site is very good NC has, and I have read many posts pro & con. Nothing in life is perfect butthis needs to be as it is. Reflecting on another situation I am aware of, sadly. after remarrying a few years ago, I found my wife was a victim of molestation by an uncle over 20 years ago when she was younger, and his wife at that time, filed for divorce and he evenw ent to prison because of charegs against his own 2 girls then. But all these years, my wife has struggled wiht many problems internally and counseling, etc. all because of this, and we are dealing with it day by day; but the uncle was let out of prison years early for good behavior then we found, and to this day he and his family deny anything happened and call my wife crazy or mentally ill, and we have researched this case the best we can, except for one snag- in Tennessee where the uncle lives and this all happened, becaus eof some law, records prior to 1996 we are told have beens ealed and not public!!! And the uncle was recently arrested for not notifying the state of a new address change he made, he and his 88 year old mother and aunt went to bat for him, and after a coupl;e eharings, the whoel arrest was dropepd and blamed on paperwork mistake by his reporting officer he was to notify. So this outrages my wife mroe he got away again, andf when she tried top copntact DA handling that recent arrest, they will not tell us anything and said she will have to go to police and file charges to re-open the former sealed case to do anything else.. LAst year, we found out he was going to marry a woman who looked a lot like my wife and she had a 7 year old girl, and my wife contacted that woman and told her of what happened to her, and this women left with her daughter fast!! But Tennessee is not as open with information about sexual predators as NC it seems or other states and this has frustrated us more dealing with ym wife's current counseling and emotional troubels she ahs held onto for many, many years because nobody in her immediate family to this day will believe her or what happened..

Have you seriously looked at the statisitics?? My case and many others like it make women not want to go to trial. I think that going to trial is the best thing to do, but I have no closure, that man is still out there. I have done all I can do, if he never does it again, it was worth it, but if he does, I'll be there, testifying again, and I will write letters to that judge, his defense attorneys, and the DA in my county, so that they know what they did, when they allowed him to walk after 75 days. (almost a year and half after the rape they finally convicted him) Of a misdemeanor nonetheless. He is not on this registry, but he is supposed to be, wonder who I need to talk to about that. If you think that all women have to do is say something, you are wrong. Even with loads of evidence, rape kit, and an investigation (not so well done) pics of bruising, you name it, IT WAS NOT ENOUGH!! The university, DA, Judge, town, failed me, but as I said, if he doesn't do it again, I did my part, even if that only means I scared the hell out of him.

	Here is the deal in a nutshell. Females mature sexualy at the young age of 12 to 16 years. Therefore older males are attracted to them. The problem is the laws are set up to protect these girls. Pure and simple!

Posted by: Jane (not registered) on January 13, 2007 at 02:42 am

I think people who sexually abuse children are sick and should be locked up. Most people on sex offender lists are there for second degree sexual assault which is engaging in sexual behavior with someone between the ages of 13 and 16. So if you do your homework even people under the age of 18 although not many get put on these lists. Girls do lie about there ages. If a person says there older and you find out later their not. Even though your under the impression there legal your guilty. Me and my boyfriend have six year old and 1 year old. Because I was under 18 and he was 18 he was convicted of a non-registerable offense. But his charges were terrible. Were still together. Even though all sexual contact were consentual, under most state laws if your under 18 you dont have the right to consent. Most people havnt done there homework. There are many people who lie about there age and get other people in trouble. I know girls in my class that got multiple people in trouble maybie something should also be done in educating girls on the harm they can cause to someone whole life by lying about there age. Because again if I tell you Im 18 and I look act and seem to be older, and am found to be underage youll still be charged with a sexual offense most likely convicted probably labeled as a sex offender even if I admit I lied. Because thats to bad. Not knowing or being decieved is no excuse. Many people on this list are only 18, 19 and 20.

I lobbied the NC Assembly to make the registry available to the public and increase penalty for registry violation. A recently released convicted SO from another state victimized my daughter. At his sentencing, I told the judge he would do it again. Shortly after his release he was again arrested and is now in prison. He has spent much of his adult life in prison, but the short periods of release are devastating. He had 2 years added for registration violation. In retrospect, vehicle and employment information should have been included in registry information. For that oversight, I accept full responsibility. I have been dismayed that registry pics are often poor or missing and even addresses are often missing. That is the fault of the law enforcement agency of jurisdiction. Two major flaws in the registry system are failure to confirm information and lack of aggressive pursuit of known violators. It can take up to a year before law enforcement is even aware a registree has absconded and they are not pursued as vigorously as they should be. Registrees need to be monitored on a bi-monthly basis to make sure they are where they are supposed to be and should be vigorously pursued if they abscond with info released to the media.

	In my opinion i think all sexual predators should be killed. they sicken me and i hope they all get whats coming to them.

Posted by: concerned1 (not registered) on February 01, 2007 at 12:15 pm
	I think all of these animals that are convicted as sexual predators should be monitored for the rest of their lives. There location should be known at all times if they are released from prison while they are still alive. They have a sickness that can not be cured. They should never be allowed to roam free again without monitoring.

Steven McGonigle August 2000 . Steven McGonigle went to the home of a Douglas County, Colorado teenage girl, told her he had a package for her parents, and attacked her with a stun gun. The package he had with him was what is known as a rape kit - it contained a handgun, two knives, rubber gloves, rope, handcuffs and pantyhose. He told the court he was under pressure - his wife was in NC preparing a new home for them - - and he was allowed to move to NC! I was curious - - then shocked to find he is NOT on the predator's list. Question - is he out of the state now? Or did he avoid havig to register because Colorado didn't push to convict? If he is living in NC - - well, he was caught in the act by the girl's aunt - Lord knows what would have happened if she had not walked in on them. I would hope he would have to register no matter what state he is in.

I was sexually assaulted when I was 17. The man that raped me was already a registered sex offender; he molested his 11 year old foster-sister when he was 19. He was my boyfriend's roommate and no one knew he was an offender. He would wait until the girls were asleep or voulnerable and then coherce them to sleep in him room. I was asleep and awoke to him straddling my neck. So for those of you who say "it ruiened his life b/c he has a record now," did you ever think of what its done to the victim? I'm 22 now and the memories and pain as well as the guilt from keeping my "secret" from my family and friends has eaten away at me. It took a whole 4 mins for him, but it will be with me for the rest of my life!

Has anyone read the sentences these guys are getting? They are far from harsh enough. Some are getting 157 days, 5 months, and probation w/ no time in jail. So police , if I'm a young girl and someone takes indecent liberties with me, I'm supposed to feel better and just let that go because he's served his little BS sentence? I think victims of sexual crimes should take the adrenaline they get when they are being violated and just physically harm or destroy their oppressors in the moment. They may not get little, no time or probation. I don't feel like the people should ever get out before 7 years when they scar someone for life and pedophiles and molesters are incurable so when you find out something is wrong with them make sure someone checks on them frequently. They should not be relied on to notify anyone of what they are doing with their free time.

i am a sex offender by law. i servered my time in prison for my mistake. although my mistake was also that of a 15 yr old girl who lied about her age. i did not know she was under age. she played me for stupid and i got into trouble. i am a good man with 5 children and a loving wife who works hard for my family i think sex offenders should be rated on the issue of their defense theres my issue and then theres people who rape children we are totally different yet looked upon as the same its not fair maybe these 15 yr old girls who trick older men into sex should be held reliable too by the way she was 15 and i was 20 at the time.......please comment on this message!!!!!

Anonymous, I am 21 years old and when I was in high school, I saw countless girls who tried desperately to act and dress MUCH older than they actually were. Obviously, they were striving to get attention and most of the time, the attention they were getting was inappropriate because it came from older men. I am not saying that it is fair for girls to lie about their ages and then blame the older men just to avoid being labeled a "slut" for having voluntary sex. That's wrong in every aspect. I do, however, think that the older men, of all people, should know better and whether or not a girl LOOKS older than she actually is, a man should think twice about having casual sex with someone that he obviously know nothing about. If a man knows enough about a girl before he has sex with her, then he would know her age. By the way, my comment is just addressing your particular situation. I'm not addressing those sexual predators out there who rape or molest little girls (or girls of any age, for that matter). That's a separate issue in itself. Thanks.

I use to feel like anyone who hurt a child should be punished until I seen a case of a good christian man being accused of such a crime and I know that he did not such a thing. I understand that people who have been molested or raped are hurting but not everyone is guilty of the crime that they are being accused of. all I am asking is not to be so quick to judge others based on what another person says. anyone can say anything they want also about you and next thing you know you are the one in court defending yourself. however I do believe that if they are guilty they should be punished but not for the remainder of their lives. as for anyone that has ever been hurt i truely hope that God will heal your pain.

I can understand where you are comeing from, but always remember there are some whom falsely do get accused and that is so sadd for them and their familys, But also keep into mind these Offenders, and Preditors do not have a specific look, they come from all walks of life, weither its from a lawyer, to a machine operator, a because some one may be so into God Spirtually, They still come from all walks of life. I know I have had my son molested by someone I never thought would hurt, touch, or threaten him, and it has made me wake up to reality in a way I already thought I was aware of, but in my sons case I was not because it was a family member whom hurt him, and last Tuesday after waiting almost a year for a Trial or a plea, my Step Brother got 7 years in prision, with a life name of a Preditor, and out of thoses 7 years sentenced, he only has to searve 85% percent of the time if he has good behavior, now you tell me how can the goverment allow someone to get out on good behavior when the bad behavior was why they got there in the first place? Even though I do not agree with the States decision, I still am trying to make a point that no matter what type of person you come to be, we all need to be carefull, and help protect our children, because the Goverment says that they are getting stronger and harsher on these preditors, and offenders, First hand i can tell you that they are not.Florida is not hard at all.

Sex Offenders are sick mentally and anyone that tells you they can be cured is wrong. I don't think there is enough legislation out there to protect the public. they should have MANDATORY FLOURESCENT COLORED LICENSE PLATES, Their employer should be notified, and ALL RESIDENTS WITHIN A HALF MILE AREA should be notified. Additionally they should be on the registry for life, should have to undergo psychiatric evaluation every six months AND SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND ANY PUBLIC PLACE FOR ANY FUNCTION WHERE CHILDREN ARE PRESENT!!! They should NOT be able to go to birthday parties for family members in public places where children are present. Additionally, I believe that if they are gainfully employed, they should be forced to repay the State they live in for the costs of monitoring them, and that money should go into a fund to help victims that are assaulted or abused by a sex offender. I would not mind seeing a tattoo on their forehead also that says SO. And in regards to the buys that are crying about being a sex offender because the girl "lied" about her age, too bad so sad, should have kept the pants zipped until you had proof positive of her age. It is still your fault. You chose to play with fire and got burned, I do not feel sorry for you at all. Take your punishment like a man, you wanted to act like one with an underage girl, then deal with it now.

I know that a sexual offense is an offense. My husband is a registered sex offender b/c of an ex-girlfriend he had when he was younger got mad and turned him in to the cops b/c she was 16 b/c they broke up. Now b/c of this we can't get an apartment b/c of background checks, and we have even had problems with social services b/c we have a 4yr old son and my husband is a "sex offender" they should have some sort of classification system for sex offenders other than the one in use now. that is a label to haunt someone forever

In response to.... we tell our children what to say. That is far from the truth. I have spent the last 7 months with a beautiful little girl that has been molested by her 75 year old step grandfather. Because there was no physical evidence it was going to be impossible to arrest him. We have had her interviewed by detectives and videoed, interviewed by professionals at a center in Wilmington and also examined. She had several visits in WS with a physcologist that determined that she was telling the truth, interviewed by Social Services that knew she was telling the truth. But because of lack of evidence we had little chance of an arrest. After writing the governor and anyone that would listen, We finally got our arrest. His first court date will be May 9th and with a little prayer I personally hope he rots. The laws need to be changed for the little victims. I know in my heart if I had not of persued this matter this man would be free. This little girl is the love of my life and for what he has done to her, her future scares me. Getting this person arrested for this crime was the hardest challenge I have ever faced in my entire life. If this had of happened to me, it would of been called rape and he would of been arrested immediately. Since it was a little five year old she didn't even know what the word mean't. The sickening things he did to her is unspeakable. And in her own words when asked how many times... it wasn't once or twice...but millions to her. I prayed to God that justice will prevail and he gets what he deserves. I know now that my job is done and it's in the hands of a judge to sentence this person and take the rest of his life away. He has damaged my baby girl for the rest of hers and once a week she is reminded when she goes to therapy. So when you say that law enforcement believes everything that the victims have to say. You are wrong. We feel like the criminals. Grandmother and her Grand daughter had to run 200 hundred miles away and she didn't even get her favorite doll Annabelle or her Pooh bear that she had slept with since she was a baby. They didn't even get their clothing and she lost all of her little playmates. Try explaining why to her. These perverts should not get a second chance.

Sad story. It is hard to believe with the stricter laws, that people still dare to act against children. You did well to push the way you did. (I say this as an ex-offender. ) Only when abuse gets into the "light", can it all be dealt with. I was amazed to find that my childhood girlfreind and her three sisters were all molested by their grandfather. Back then, no one dared speak of being molested within the family. At least now, this issue is being discussed and dealt with by the law and on sites such as this.

I almost was registered as a sex offender. When I was like 15 I went into a chatroom, since they were all the rage at that age. Started talking to a girl who was like 30 minutes from me or something like that. Basically when I was 20 in college we met. Great night, she slept over, but no sex happend. Just made out really, and ya by the way she said she was 19. Went to some college in ct, I checked it out, there was someone with her full name going there and she had friends iming me too. Well the next morning I get fbi at my door. Turns out she snuck out and is actually 15. By the way she really did look 19. Plus i talked to the girl for 5 years online. I was not arrested but they took my pc and for the next 4 months i received crap from my family and was not knowing if i was going to jail or not. I found out also that she pretended to be these other people online and she gave me a fake name. Even a cover story to why she had no car, she was in an accident and her license got suspended. I picked the girl up at her house. And this other time, I talked to this girl from Match.com, she gave me her number, called up mom said she was 15 and if I called again her husband who is a cop would come for me. IF you know what Match is, its an 18 and over dating site. I did not contact her again, infact i reported her to match. But tell me do you think I deserved to go to jail for 10 years and be a registered sex offender when the girl lied about her age.

HONESTLY, THE LAWS ARE NOT AS HARSH AS SOME THINK. I THINK THAT IS WHY THIS IS STILL GOING ON WITH OUR CHILDREN, THE STATE WOULD RATHER GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE THEN TO DO THE RIGHT THING. IF YOU CLICK ON MY NAME YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHERE I AM FROM, AND WHY I AM ON THIS SIGHT. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE IS SAYING, I WILL BE IN THE SAME SITUATION, HOW CAN I EXPLAIN TO MY SON WHEN HIS PREDITOR IS OUT, WHAT TYPE OF EXAMPLE IS THAT SHOWING MY SON? MY SON WILL CARRY THIS THE REST OF HIS LIFE, AND YET HIS PREDITOR WILL GET A SECOND CHANCE, AND HE IS CON.... A 3RD FELONY OF SEXUAL MOLESTAION. MY SON WAS 9 WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT HE WILL BE 16 WHEN HE IS OUT, OR A LITTLE YOUNGER IF HIS PREDITOR GETS OUT ON GOOD BEH.... WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT HURTING A CHILD? AND WHY GIVE HIM THAT CHANCE? SO MANY QUESTIONS, NO CORRECT ANSWERS, EXCEPT FROM ONES WHO FEEL THEY NEED A SECOND CHANCE. TAMMY (HEXGIRL)

I know it doesn't help to hear this at this time, but studies claim that children have a remarkable ability to "heal" with time. Not that they will ever forget. Life goes on. I don't oppose society revisiting this whole issue, but I do feel that we need to weed the most dangerous from those that just screwed up in life. Not to throw the baby out with the water. Your real scary time will be when the offender gets out of prison. Ten years does five, so to speak. I don't think he will bother your son, but he needs to be watched for a while to make sure he doesn't revert back to offending. A secure job and place to live, will be of help. We can yell all we want that people should be in prison for life, but it is not the way the world works. Therefore, we need to assure he does not reoffend. We need to be certain he gets treatment.

Posted by: Hexgirl on May 02, 2007 at 07:42 pm

YOUR RIGHT IT IS NOT SOMETHING I AM READY YET TO HEAR, OR THINK I EVER WILL WANT TO HEAR. MY SON HAS BEEN IN THERPY SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED, AND HE CAME OUT. I HOPE HE WILL BE FINE AS HE GROWS UP AND BECOMES A MAN, BUT TIME WILL ONLY TELL. AS FAR AS HIS PREDITOR, I FEEL HE SHOULD STAY IN PRISION, YES GET THERPY, BUT NOT MY TAX MONEY FOR HIS THERPY. BUT ALL THE HTERPY IN THE WORLD IN THIS SITUATION WILL NOT HELP THIS PREDITOR, I AM FIRM ON IF YOU HAVE SEXUAL WANTS, AND NEEDS, AND CERTAIN PREF.... YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE THAT THAT IS WHO YOU ARE. ESPECIALLY THIS PERSON. I KNOW WE ARE ALL INTITLED TO OUR THOUGHTS, BUT I STILL FEEL THEY SHOULD STAY BEHIND BARS, AND NOT GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE IN HOPES NOT TO MESS UP ANOTHER CHILDS LIFE. AND NOT THE ONES THAT ARE FALSELY ACCUSED EITHER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT. TAMMY (HEXGIRL)

Being aware that this here is a very toughy subject, I will do my best not affend anyone and defend both reasons why I believe many should be severely punished and why others have been abused and misunderstood. I truy believe if a man or women be the offender in this case decide to talk to some one on line and decide to meet up, and there is that slight chance this other sex or even same sex looks like they can be under the age or maybe even maybe just meeting the ages appearence should be asked for an I.D. Yes im aware this sounds etreme but it would save plenty of trouble and jail time for those who have been lied to in the past. a buddie of mine decided to use the bathroom out in the open, behind a tree (trying to hide himself) well a child had seen him as well as a parent in the dark. he was convicted as a sex affender, now i dont believe that was fair. Maybe something more along the lines of indecent exposure would have been a sentence that fit his situation better. So I can understand why some may argue that this is an unfair issue at times. BUT THEN ON THE OTHER HAND, AND IN MANY CASES, THEIR ARE THOSE THAT ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE OTHERS AGE JUST ON THE OTHERSIDE OF THE SCREEN, AND IGNORE IT. THEY SAY THE OTHER WANTED THIS, REGARDLESS THIS OTHER IS STILL A CHILD IF UNDER THE AGE OF 18...So on those terms this prditor deserves to be behind bars. This also occurs all the time besides on the internet, children need to be watched more closely, phone calls, internet use, friends, and where abouts so things like this can be much less likely to occur.

	Could someone tell me what the difference between child molestation and with taking indecent liberties with a child is? Which carries the most punishment? Thank You,

Posted by: Oldtimer on May 11, 2007 at 08:20 pm
	Go to your state's homepage and look for "statues" pages. Sometimes you can do a search on their pages. Look for statues regarding crimes, or sex crimes and you may also find definitions for what constitues the crime you wish to know. You might also just put the words in google.com search box and see what you find. Good luck.

I HAVE READ THE POST WHO TRY TO RATIONALIZE THE MOLESTATION AND RAPE OF YOUNG PEOPLE BY BLAMING THEM FOR "LOOKING OLDER". "WEARING MAKE-UP AND PROVOCATIVE CLOTHING" THESE PEOPLE ARE MOLESTORS WAITING TO HAPPEN. WHEN ARE PEOPLE GOING TO LEARN THAT NO MATTER WHAT, NOTHING EXCUSES CHILD MOLESTATION. AND AS FAR AS THE POST THAT SOME IDIOT SAID THAT MOST VICTIMS RECOVER FROM THEIR TRAUMA IS HORSE MANURE. EVIDENTLY THIS INDIVIDUAL HAS NEVER BEEN RAPED. HE HAS NEVER BEEN SUBJECTED TO THE HORRORS OF A FAMILY MEMBER/FAMILY FRIEND ACTUALLY INSERTING THEIR BODY PARTS INTO A SIX YEAR OLD, WHILE LISTENING TO THE SCREAMS OF TERROR AND CRIES FOR HELP. I WAS THAT SIX YEAR OLD GIRL AND AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF 45 NOW, THE NIGHTMARES OF WHAT WAS DONE TO ME AT THE HANDS OF A "RESPECTABLE, GOOD, CHRISTIAN PERSON WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. YES, I HAVE A GOOD LIFE AND I FUNCTION AS A "NORMAL" PERSON, WHATEVER THAT MEANS, BUT MOLESTATION TRAUMA NEVER GOES AWAY. IT IS ALWAYS HIDING IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND. TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT ALL OF THESE GOOD CHRISTIAN MEN AND THEN PICTURE THE EVIL THAT HIDES JUST BELOW THE SURFACE. REMEMBER THE SAYING "MANS INHUMANITY TO MAN". I GUARD MY 7 YEAR OLD SON WITH ALL THE STRENGTH AND ABILITY THAT GOD GIVES ME. I TRUST NO ONE BEING ALONE WITH MY SON. I HAVE MADE HIM AWARE THE "BAD PEOPLE" DON'T LOOK BAD, THE USUALLY LOOK HANDSOME, VERY FRIENDLY, ALWAYS OFFERING TO HELP AND ALWAYS WILLING TO GO THAT EXTRA MILE FOR YOUR CHILD. EVIL COMES WRAPPED LIKE CANDY. MOTHERS, PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN.....THERE ARE MANY MANY "HONORABLE" MEN JUST WAITING TO DO THE WORST TO YOUR CHILD.

i know things happen to kids. I know things happen to adults. Ive been there as a child. But i see young women.. 13 and up who look 19 20 years old. And see them dressed provocatively and then they wonder why a 19 or 20 year old man wants to sleep with them. My cousin, when told to stop, stopped. he touched the girl with his hand.. no denying when she said im only 14 stop he did. he did 2 years in prison. Too bad the girl was my cousin on the other side. i knew what kind girl she was. So i know everyone convicted isnt really after kids but at same time its a hard thing. I want to protect my girls too i have 2 girls, 2 stepdaughters and a son all under 13. But its also my resposiblity as an adult parent to make sure my children are not put into situations that are dangerous. Very hard topic.

I've been molested by my daughter's girl friends for years. I'm afraid to turn them in because I'm the one that will be in trouble. She just turned 16 last week and had 8 of the offenders at her party. They where all hanging on me all night and I'm sure my buldge was obvious to the other parents there. It all happened when she was 13 and had two of her friends over for a pajama party. I went to my room leaving them up watching tv in the family room. I was awakened in the middle of the night with a set of lip surrounding my enlarged penis and a shaved vagina in my face. I thought I was dreaming and before I knew it, I had had sex with all 3. This has continued to happen over the years with many of her friends, always while I'm sleeping and dreaming. I can't tell anyone because I would be in trouble. When she asks if she can have a sleep over, I have to say yes.

I am a registered sex offender and here is my story....not all sex offenders are bad people....i was 19 and dated a girl who was 15...she turned 16 4 months after we dated...we dated for over a year...after we had gotted really close she told me that her father was hitting her and her little sister...so we both went to DSS and reported this. 2 months later after heated arguements with her parents they showed the cops a letter she had written back when she was 15 about a sexual encounter. then I was charges 2 counts stat rape...year later dropped to 1 count indecent liberties with a minor...she is still very in love with me and tries to contact me..but under my probation cant talk to her for 2 years....i know people in therapy where they make me go for my probation...there are some good guys...and there are sick mofos also....but just because people are S.O..sometimes you need to read the fine print...i got to suffer for the next 10 years because of her parents fear of getting locked up..i was hung out to dry!! that is my SEX OFFENSE....i have no victim...just someone whom i loved and loved me dearly in return

Posted by: Hexgirl on June 13, 2007 at 05:02 pm

I would not con. you a offender, I think the State is paying to much atten... to the teenagers who know what the heck they are doing then the young children who do not have a clue, and our messed up from being abused honestly. I know you now have a lable but so should she, and how the judge could not see through that, sickens me. People like yourself pay when not need be, and preditors who really do damage get off easyer then the ones who are labled that should not be. Tammy (Hexgirl)

	S.O. After a year of treatment. I saw the same things you just described. Some of the guys in that room really needed help, other after talking and getting to the situation have no business being in there. You only got 10yrs bro your lucky. I got 25yrs. But either way it still sucks.

Posted by: Hexgirl on June 14, 2007 at 09:22 pm

S.O. has a point to be honest. I have to say I agree with him. The State, and always un-answered questions towards why call a person a offender when both parties are o.k. with the sex together except the parents, that is not molestation, or rape, its normal for some teenagers to exp. that, what is not normal is for Adults to have sex with young children who can not say no, and are told to keep quiet. The State needs to figure out what a true Offender means, and not a falsely accused one at that. Those should not be lables, and are not a threat to our society, but the ones they are not harsh enough on are, and those are the ones that are not taking harsher on by the State, and they wounder why this keeps hapening, over, and over again? Tammy (Hexgirl)

Posted by: Hexgirl on June 14, 2007 at 09:27 pm

I would also like to add the State needs to come up with an age when your a teenager so not everyone whom has sexs, and the parents get madd can be called a offender. I would not want to be in a mans place honestly as well, I have seen so many girls who are 25, or older looking, and they are 16, and 17 years old. The way they dress and look scears me, but does the judge take that into cond... as the fact that I know some will lye about their age to this poor guys, It is like you want to I.D. these girls now a days.

That is my point, she is under age I agree, he is a adult who should not even think of being with a 16 year old in a normal mind, but thats not the case in this story, as well as others. We know she was willing, as for him, for them to be able to be married the parents had to sign I would think agreeing to the marriage, therefore no matter what we think or feel, the state should back out, no matter how werd this is, tha is why I think there should be a age where the State has to say look yes means that they know as well as no means no and they know that as well. And really look into the ages where children do not understand that, or adults being raped from these sickos. Tammy (Hexgirl)

I believe any one convicted of a sexual offense should be tagged with a gps ankle bracelet. There should be a free tracking system that allows parents to view the current location of all offenders via a website. You should be able to use a wireless pda to monitor their loations and be aware at all times how close they are to your children. If their device stops fuctioning, they would have 15 minutes to call and report it, or the police should be dispatched to their locations. These people should have no civil liberties after being convicted of a violent offense.

I'm so tired of hearing how everything is being done to protect our children! I have been on both sides of the coin.I was a molested as a child and have had a sicko touching my nine year old little girl a few years back! I also recently reported an incident involving my teenage son and his hero! It seems the perv is bisexual and likes teenage boys! I've done what the law tells me to do! I reported both incidents! I was told by the law with the first incident" It's her word against his!" A nine year old girl isn't believed in our courts apparently! I was also told" It was only touching! If he had penetrated her we'd have physical proof!" Thank God he didn't! I recorded the perv on the phone with my teenage son! I had proof...maybe not admissable in court but they'd have to believe us! They believed alright.....I can't get a single damn person to give me any answers! "Call me back if you don't hear from me next week!"they tell me!

I am amazed at how many sex offenders actually live right near schools. I thought that they were suppose to stay away from schools. I noticed that two different offenders are near elementary schools. What's up with that? I am glad there is a website like this. I am about to move and I have three boys and I just noticed that there is one of them near my new house. I will make sure that they are familiar with this man's picture so they can be on the know.

I was molested from age 5 to 10 by my neighbor, at age 10 a boy 4years older than me molested me, and then my stepfather did because my mom wouldn't have sex with him. 3 years later, trying to have a relationship with a mother never there for me, I was visiting her, and he raped me two nights in a row. My mother knew after the first night, and didn't do anything until after the 2nd night, and my baby brother was there in the bed with me both times as we had to share since I was only visiting. The cops aren't there for the women, they wouldn't even press charges on him, he was retired coast gaurd and good at making people believe him so I was the one that got screwed. I would rather see 5 innocent men go to jail than one guilty one go free. Sometimes for the greater good of society sacrifices have to be made. If you haven't been raped or molested, you have NO right to comment on it, you have NO clue. I have two boys now, and had the hardest time bathing them as babies, it felt WRONG for me to do what a mother is supposed to do, and even now, I have difficulty when they want to play and run around after their shower being silly little boys. NO ONE KNOWS what it is like, until they have been there. I hope, and I don't pray often, but I pray, NO ONE has to go through this. At age 18 I still had to put up with my stepfather sexually assaulting me, but what was I suppose to do? The law already said it was okay. DONT ever say that it is set for women, because it's not!!!!!

Posted by: Oldtimer on August 24, 2007 at 10:29 pm

Tiffany: what your stepfather did was wrong. There are tests the police could do to prove you were molested. Many victims somehow think it is their fault. You need to see a shrink to get the terrible abuse done to you in perspective. A child is not a sexual partner for an adult! The shame here is that this stepfather has not been caught and when you become older, he will most likely seek another victim. Try to seek help with this from a local agency and I wish you well.

I would like to say that the registry is a great thing. I am a registered sex offender, and I was also a victim by my father and grandfather, but I never told anyone until years later. If I had gotten help when I was younger I would have been different. I offended when I was 16 years old and was incarcerated for 7 years. I am glad that I was because I finally got the help that was long overdue. My biological father is still in prison for my sister also and to this day I still will not claim him. Not every offender is the same, I asked for help and I got it, I am 32 years old now, happily married with three great children that mean the world to me. As any other parent I am very cautious about what kind of people are around my kids and I try to watch them in public the best that I can. So yes I think that the registry is great.

Posted by: Oldtimer on September 02, 2007 at 11:26 am

Sounds like you have it together...I am curious: So why is the registry great? How is it helping you to know your neighbor was a sex offender 25 years ago? It appears YOU have taken the responsibility for your family and that the registry has changed nothing in that sense. It is important that the police know where the offenders are, but how does putting faces on the website protect your children? It is really YOUR lessons and wisdom , that protects your children, isnt it?

	Hey "no name": You may want to ask someone what the statute of limitations is down there for such a crime. In some states, they have changed the statute so that people can still be caught for sexual offense if your son complains to authorities.

	I think it's great that this website gives us some insight as to what these offenders look like and where they last lived, but have you noticed that half of the addresses given have not been confirmed. I saw some in my area who have recently gotten out of prison after 20-25 years for serious offenses who don't have an address listed! That is a frightening thought.

So I'm very disappointed by NC laws on sexual abuse crimes and the punishments that go along with it. 14yr old boy rapes 8yr old cousin and after pleading guilty only gets probation and that was never pushed, he was out quite a bit past curfew to go to church where he hung out with and knocked up some girl from there....HOW is it at 14 they assume because legaly he is still a child that he did not know what he was doing? He very much understood because he denied it till the results came back from the health people. Yet he was also allowed back into public school where he was later expeled and is out there somewhere doing god knows what to other young girls now. He never did have to register and it was put in his juv. records so it will not show on regular background checks. I just don't get how NC can support something like this.

I am so thankful that these people who steal the innocense of our children are displayed so that others can know who they are and protect themselves and their children from degenerates who prey on young lives. If we know who to look for then we stand a better chance of preventing future attacks from these sick minded freaks who destroy lives. A public display of these so called people will make it harder for them to do it again. Even the elderly men displayed just goes to show you that no matter how harmless someone looks, they can still be very dangerous. As for the comment someone posted about young girls who lie about their age, yes, this happens, but how about asking questions, verify the age of the person you are with. It is stupidity on your part for not doing so in order to protect yourself, so if that is really the case, maybe a few questions to the right people and maybe proof of I D would prevent this as well. This web site is great for parents concerned about their childs welfare.

I live in Arizona but I no longer share all of the nastyness that a lot of people share. I was molested by two 1/2 brothers and my dad, and it took me a long time to get over it all, but I now know that if I don't forgive them I am no better then they are and I will not make Heaven My Home. I am now Married to a Registered Sex Offender and I look beyond his faults and I Love Him With All Of My Heart and Always Will. He went to prison for 7 yrs. and 7 weeks and I do believe he learned his lesson. I trust in Jesus that he makes everyone and everything well. We have been together for 3 1/2 yrs. and have been married for 2 yrs. 8 months. My Husband is my everything and a light in the life. If you have a problem with these kind of people just keep an eye on them and trust Jesus will protect you from them. Now I'm not saying that if I saw something going on that I wouldn't try to stop it or not report it because I would, but I don't believe they should be casterated or put away for life, if they have served their time they should be able to live in the world like the rest of us without being harrased. I wouldn't trade my life for anything, it has made me who I am today.

	Someone who is a rapist or child molester is just that...there is no classification system, there is no getting off. I've been molested. I've been raped. Until those who defend sex offenders walk a mile in my shoes, they shouldn't do it. I too, am forced to live with it for the rest of my life.

I am a victim of molestation and my father was convicted of it. So i have experienced both sides of it. I truely belive these people are sick in the brain, and if there are 14 yr old beggin for the sex, its not sex they want its male attention. So dont call these innocent girls hoes b/c im sure deep down they dont want to be and by someone calling them that they are living up to what everyone else is saying they are. all they want is positive male attention. as for the molesters. I feel there is no rehabilitaion for them and that they should not only have to register but be required to seek psychiatric counseling for the rest of thier lives. They do not change ...they only hide!!! so beware, and less judgemental of the little girls. b/c those who are judging are only telling those girls what they tell themselves, its my fault...and its not...its their mom and dads faoult, no supervision and not enough attention. thanks.

Gary Lee Burnore located in NC is a convicted sex offender but isn't listed on the registry because he was convicted on California and then moved from California to North Carolina. The State of CA removed him from the registry when he moved out of state because he was no longer a resident. But never notified the state of NC that he was moving into the state and is not listed. He was convicted of assault on a female who was 17 at the time of the offense and was still a minor. If you want to see the full record please see the link bellow http://groups.google.ca/group/news.admin.net-abuse.email/browse_thread/thread/c15298dba583a242/14cf8bb94a1b7871?lnk=st&q=#14cf8bb94a1b7871 If you agree that this individual should be listed in the NC sex offenders registry please contact the Wake Country sheriff's office and the North Carolina Sex Offenders and Public Protection Registry and urge both of these agencies to add this convicted sex offender.

	Before people start judging they need to know the whole story. I know someone who was falsely accussed by an ex wife's family. Now his whole life is in shambles. He's living hell on earth.

	This is an excellent resource and I would encourage the general public to use it. On the other hand I would caution everyone not to totally rely on this resource as there are many predators who have been committing crimes for years that were either never reported or they have eluded the legal system. Adults should always use good judgement in and outside your home to protect self and loved ones.

	My best friend was abused sexually by his mother when he was 12. He's older now but needs help, and I don't know how to help him. Does anyone know of a website or something where we can get help. Also, his mother has never been charged for the crime. Someone please help.

Posted by: Oldtimer on January 06, 2008 at 04:05 pm
	check with your state representative to see if they have a victims of rape counselling service or agency that will offer free help and/or ideas. Also, you might wish to talk to your state human services about the situation, eventhough it was a long time ago. This woman should not be with grandchildren or babysitting other males she might sexually offend. (IMO)

My husband and I were getting ready to have our first baby and were getting ready to buy a new house in what was to be a great neighborhood. The night before signing the offer we went to this site and not only found out our "new" next door neighbor was a child sex offender. We also were able to research his name and found out he'd just been in the newspapers again for lying about his current address and whereabouts. Needless to say we did not buy that house. Thank you for this site!

Posted by: Oldtimer on January 16, 2008 at 03:37 pm
	duh, so how do you know that the guy next door NOW is not an offender? You can't live like this...give me a break and THINK of what you are saying.

Posted by: Hex on January 16, 2008 at 05:36 pm

It's good that you were able to get the info... before you bought your house, that way you were aware of your surroundings. Esp... knowing this guy was lying about his address'e, and all, pretty sick. But at least he got caught doing that, and surpriseing, normaly these types of things can go left un detected for a long time, if not ever. But also keep in mind not everyone on the reg.. is a offender, due too the way the State lables them for having hormones at a teenage age, then getting caught for it. HEX

Posted by: Hex on January 16, 2008 at 09:48 pm

oldtimer, Question? duh? i am surprised at you, I figured you would understand why she and her husband did that, it's normal for people to check into things of this nature that have children, even though you have to worry about others hurting your children as well, like friends, family members, etc... as well as (True) offenders, and Preditors, that might re-offend again. Therpy doe not work for everyone, look at this person, giving a false address, ect... that is a sign he may re-offend again, due to the fact he is not being honest about his stay, and information to the police etc.. he/she desearved to get into truble. Hex

Posted by: Oldtimer on January 17, 2008 at 10:05 am
	Hex: We agree that if someone is being deceptive and not registering, they are most likely very dangerous. I guess what I was objecting to, is how people are so proud they know where offenders live that they don't realize where they just moved may have an offender UNregistered next door. That is the problem: The registry gives a false sense of security...get me?

Posted by: Hex on January 17, 2008 at 03:57 pm
	I agree with that, but honestly people who thrive off of that are sick as well, like I have stated before not everyone on the reg... is an offender, or preditor. So people don't need to be like I used too be,a judge them all as one. HEX

For those of you who think that when a female says she is rape and she is immediately believed....this is not true. I was a victim of rape and I went to the cops on the dot. They said that it didn't count as rape because of lack of evidence. Essentially telling me that they didn't believe me just from talking to the other guy about it and what appeared to be no evidence. They never bothered to contact me again about it and even when I tried to contact them they acted like as if they didn't even care. Then I decided that i needed to move on with my life and not go through so much pressure before i went off to school. I've never felt so defeated in my life.

	Our justice system is so screwed up. A girl has sex with a man, lies bout her age, her parents find out, hes goin to prison a long time an not only that hes now a registered sex offender!!!

Posted by: cm (not registered) on February 11, 2008 at 01:33 pm

It still sounds like we have a lot of he said, she said going on. One point that needs to be made - if a girl says no it should mean no. Not maybe - not that maybe I can talk you into it. If the guys would just take the NO and walk away - problem solved. Most guys will try to find a way. another drink, more time, a bit more smoozing, just walk away. Women today and even girls will say yes when they mean yes.

As I read over all this bull it just blows my mind how many stupid comments come out ouf peoples mouths. The one of she told me she was 18, give me a break, did you ask to see her id ? If she doesnt have one keep it in your pants. Other comments on I know he didnt do it he is a good family man that goes to church. Do you spend every second of every day with this person to know everything he does, they will make fools out of you. The last thing I have to say is when you talk about the way these teen dress and act they are asking for it, bull, they are still children the adult should be responsible for their conduct, the adult should be the mature one that has enough since to walk away. God help our children .

Its funny How people judge other indiviuals that have made bad choices in their lives. But who are u to judge anyone,because no matter what people say,Ever person can change their life around its called repenting for your sins. Not only that some of the sex offenders that are mark for the rest of their life for whatever the sexual crime was for doesnt mean that the justice system dosent make mistakes. I have a Friend that was commited a crime at the age of 12, he had sex with a girl that was 10. the little girl admitted that they had sex and it wasn't by force and her parents didnt press charges well when he turned 16 he got papers in the mail about that.and the state pressed charges and since he has been lab as a sex offender. but when people dont know the story and hear oh such and such is a sex offender people atomaticlly think that they are such a bad person. But in this case my friend will be mark for the rest of his life about something that happen when he was 12. all because a girl was hot and said she was 11, and the bad part about she amitted that it was consentual and he still gets mark. so dont just judge people for that title get the details and then judge it from there becuase like i said at the beginnig everyone can change and everyone is not guilty because they were covicted because we all know the justice system have had its flaws and it still doses.

Posted by: Wondering (not registered) on February 26, 2008 at 09:28 pm

When I was 15, I had a boyfriend who was 19. Seemed normal to me. Now to get older and realize HE could be a registered sex offender now WITHOUT ever having actual intercourse with me. One of my friends just got CONVICTED and LISTED behind switching phone numbers with a run-away who's rap sheet is longer that anyone I know. His name was found in a notebook that her father found when she went missing ensuing the father's accusations. When the girl returned, even though it was obvious she wasn't with him, she offered NO COMMENT. Under NC law, a person can be charged with INDECENT LIBERTIES with a minor if there is a THREE year or more gap and INTENT was involved! This is one of those loopholes when it depends on the person and the case, where a lot of people are getting punished because the law says they MIGHT HAVE done something! I think predators, violent crimes, and pedos should be punished severely, but does anybody think of guys around my age who are not TECHNICALLY guilty of anything when they say "kill" and "castrate" them? It hurts to hear these things being said when they are dealing with a bull technicality charge. But the ignorance is too vast until the people who are posting these comments get charged with something like this.

i am a victim of sexual abuse from my own brother and because he was 17 and i was 8 he was protected under the law as juvie and that was BS becuase he later became police officer in kernersville nc but it did not last long, thank god after so many years of the abuse i did get some justice, a child is a child and an adult should know better or suffer the way we as children have to the rest of our lives.......

I am a so called sex-offender, just did 6yrs. 1 month in prison. It was about a party happened in 1999. My co-defendant had sex with the minor and i skinny dipped in the pool with them. I did more time than should was scared told i would get life if I didn't sign a plea bargin and i did. I was a newly wed with a 14 month old son i had to leave, over a stupid wild drunkin party i attended that ruined my life. I been blessed my husband has stood by me through all this and my son is now 7 yrs. old. He is getting smart wondering why "MOMMY " can't live at home just supervised visites. I would never ever hurt my own child or anyones elses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are a hurting family paying 2 rents for 2 homes about to loose everything can't afford it.. Have to pay outragous daycare bills cause i can't pick him up. This puts so much stress on my husband and our marriage. We can live together if we can find a lawyer in jurisdiction to let us , haven't had the $$, if any one can help us in wilmington n.c. The crime happened in Greensboro n.c. A Hurting Family that needs support , information guidance and a CHANCE TO LIVE!!! P.S Thanks for having a place for the the other side of the fence to voice there opitions also.

well mamm you should have thought about your consequences before you acted like a darned fool. apparently the court system found you guilty, and I'd believe them over the defendent (you) any day. I'm sorry but it is truly right that all sex offenders (this apparently includes you) should be locked up for good and have the key thrown away. thats just my opinion, and I bet a lot of people agree with me. PS. if you were so drunk to jump in the pool, how do you know you didnt commit the crime, the truth is you dont, and you have no proof. If you'd been doing something better or limiting yourself you wouldnt be in this situation. I feel bad for your daughter.

Posted by: Oldtimer on March 07, 2008 at 10:56 am
	It does my heart good, to know that you have never made any mistakes in life. This woman goofed up her life and needs to be allowed to start over. She did her time for her crime so don't judge her less harshy than you judge yourself (IMO)

My family is relocating to NC. I have never visited or lived in the state. We will be moving to the Raleigh area. I am researching this because I am a woman for one, but more importantly because I have a child. I am moving from florida. The NC site seems poorly organized in comparison to the one we have here in florida. The pictures aren't clear, in florida they use official DMV or booking photos. The listings are difficult to look at because they are all jumbled on the map. I must say I am disappointed. Is this the official site. For instance in florida ours is run by the FDLE (florida department of Law Enforcement) is this the same kind of thing? I really want to research these things before our move, when deciding our location. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

Look here. Everyone makes mistakes. Its funny how a man can have sex with another man, but a senior in high school can not have consenting sex with a teacher! Our laws are screwed up and We were all teenagers at on point. SO all you people who judge must wear halos over your heads right? Its not like she raped a child, just skinny dipped. ANd what the hell was that minor doing at an adult party anyway? I hate hearing stories of slutty teenage girls trying to entice adults for sex and then the adults get in trouble. Oh, I see the next time any woman wants to go to bed with me, I will ask her for her driver's license! WHat a bunch of ill judging pigs. Please for those who judge with no ration..... DO NOT SEEK ELECTIONS!

I am a mother of two small children and i just bought a house. Didnt think to look in about the sex offenders. So today my sister in law pulled up my new address and there is a sex offender that lives right behind me. So what am i suppose to do just forget about it "i dont think so " i am very scared to even let my 3 and1 year old out side even with me out there. I think the sex offenders should be put in jail for life. I mean ever body has children what if it happen to them. I think that the law should do more to them than just putting them on the computer i'm glad they are but the can do it again. And the ones that has done it more than once come on now what the hell. So I guess us parents just keep and eye out and if something like this happens we take it in our own hands

Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on April 04, 2008 at 09:32 am

Mother of 2 I think your jumping the gun a bit here. You only know he has to reg as a sex offender not the crime. Yes my fiance has to register to but we have a 10 month old and he has a 10 and 12 year old from a previous marriage. He made a mistake when he was younger and a girl lied about her age. He never raped anyone nor does he lust after children. You need to find out more about it before you judge someone. I to as a parent would worry but would find more out about it.

Posted by: Oldtimer on April 04, 2008 at 07:47 pm

Mother of Two: You need to find something to keep you busy. Your neighbor was there BEFORE you. The registry is a hassle put on offenders so that YOU can look up this information BEFORE you buy. What makes you think the offender is even interested in your kids? Maybe he is on the list for rape of an adult! whoa. Stop worrying and educate yourself and your children. In my opinion, you are way over reacting.

	Is it true that in NC if you admit to the charges (sexual abuse) that your name does not go on the registry and you can go home and be with your family, but if you deny the charges then you have to go through the court system and can not see your family?

Posted by: Oldtimer on April 08, 2008 at 08:14 pm

to anon apr.7: Have you considered that your parents don't want to discuss the past behavior of your dad? The only thing you have to be concerned with is HOW IS HE TREATING YOU? If you are "untouched", then not to worry. If he is wrongly touching you, speak to your guidance counsellor. He/she should get you help. Most adults are guilty of something in their lives...most deny it. No one in this world is perfect...no one! Good luck with this.

a know a very honest, caring, good man whose life is ruined forever because he drank too much one night and bit my grandson on the rearend. my grandson got scared and ran to his mom who was also drinking and over reacted and called the police. the police then proceeded to put my grandson through so much humiliation and interrogation that he hates all police now and says he would never tell them anything ever again. he forgives the man who scared him...but now that man's life is a misery. can't get a job, can't travel, can't see his own grandson, can't stay out past 10 p.m., can't find a place to live. we have all written letters and done out best to change things, but to no avail. not all people who mess up are child molesters, and sexual predators.. nor are they child killers. this has all gotten extremely out of hand, it is to the point that if even an elementary school child touches another child by hugging or a kiss on the cheek, that child can be hauled off to jail and be accused of being a sexual deviant. what has happened to us? where will this end? the system is where to sickness lies...i don't know what to do myself cause i have tried. we need good lawyers to help the wrongfully labeled people so they can return to society and lead the productive lives they were living before they were tossed away.
