Another thing, you never hear about convicted murders living near you! Do you really think everyone on your block is perfect? Look again! what about the person you are married to or going out with? You don’t know everything about someone and you never will! I give everyone the benefit of the doubt!

People can change and become better people! Maybe they made a mistake or poor judgement or maybe they really are bad people but you can’t judge them!

” Sex offenders were less likely than non-sex offenders to be rearrested for any offense –– 43 percent of sex offenders versus 68 percent of non-sex offenders”

Now, the next part of the quote is what the media and politicians love to quote:

“But sex offenders were about four times more likely than non-sex offenders to be arrested for another sex crime after their discharge from prison”

What that is really saying is that if a criminal is going to commit another offense then its probably going to be what they were originally arrested for. In fact, the drug dealer or cat burglar is more likely to re-offend than the RSO.
That said, I can also understand peoples fear. I have children and, knowing the dangers out in the world, am very protective of them.
With all the restrictions that are imposed on me, I am forced to live on the edges of society, spend my days associating with “shady” characters and try to keep my self-respect afloat. It is not always easy but every day is a victory.
You want to see an offender re-offend? Push them away, make them lonely and depressed. The demons we all battle each day get stronger the more isolated we feel, their voices louder in the silence.
Do I think we should be welcomed with open arms and welcoming smiles? No, I’m no longer that delusional. All I ask is that we’re given the same chance other felons are given, that the facts are looked at in realistic terms and that hysteria is given a rest.
“Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time” is an adage I heard many times during my incarceration and probation. The fact of the matter is that I have done my time, I’ve done more than my time, new restrictions imposed and the length of registration extended. All in the name of quelling the fears of society.
Perhaps it is time for society to accept that I’ve done all that they’ve asked of me and more and am moving on with my life

take simple precautions first step 1 put up a no trespassing sign if u can especialy if ur in a rented hosue ect… step 2 consider getting a dog its still the best form of security there is. step 3 educate ur kids and what to do if this man aproaches them also another note registered sex offenders are more scared of you then you are of them cuz if they do one single pervy thing its back to prison right now there on the frying pan and wether or not they go back into the fire IS UP TO YOU not them their word is worth horse shit.

now self defense if you have the trespassing in sign and he comes onto your property in most states you have the right to blow his head off again neighborhood watch is a good idea restraining orders are also a good idea especialy if he starts following around family members or takes pictures of your house another thing ARM YOU FAMILY im not saying go down to a shop and buy gun no dont do that but theres other things you can do knives for one dont need permits but a better idea is a stun gun if he comes near you mace him or stun him i mean wuts he gonna say officer im a registered sex offender and this young woman maced me when i approached her threateningly?

good luck with that one. second of all people hate this asshole almost everyone does on the high list of likable people rapist is probly below terrorist fact is this guys freedom deepends on your patience if he goes on your property and you report him hes up shit creek without a paddle

keep a camera with you to or a audio device for evidence i know alot of this is overboared but this is good danm advice. overall with education precaution and cordination a registered sex offender ceases to become a danger and become a pest and thats a much less scary idea n im sure theres good recovered rapists out there hell im sure one or two them has really turned over a new leaf my god i and you should feel horrible for considering these drastic measures the asnwer to that is no

fact is rape is like i said before not a spure of the moment crime its not over in a second if this person wanted to be trusted and treated like a decent human being well he shoulda tought of that before he went around raping women and children i mean if i was car dealership owner i would not want some one who has commited grand theft auto working my shop if i was a bank manager i wouldnt hire a robber and if i was a father or a husband i would not alow a rapist anywere near my danm family its common sense honestly send these bastards back to prision if not for just stalking or harrasing your family then for wut they did to the first victim theres some shit you dont just wash off your hands in a cell thats one of them im sorry for my bad grammer i typed this in a hurry

these people are scum of the earth now not all of them like i said RSO is a vague word but the rapists and forced sodomy and the child molestors are sick pricks and i dont care how much therapy the state put into it i will not base my familys safety on a rapists ethics and whyms basicly if they come near your family dont freak out just calmly say get away from me or i will call the police and report you for harrasment n you know wut if he dosent do it that is harrasment n back to jail he goes.

its really that easy bottom line dont be scared dont be intimidiated fear is how most of the sick pricks commited the crime in the first place.

Some people are likely to fall for your B.S. and I guarantee anyone that thought your post was reasonable was never a victim of a sex offender.

The only time any community or program should make a sex offender feel accepted and welcome socially is when that community or program has discovered a way to lynch your ass without getting caught! You do not deserve to walk amongst society.

If you claim you’re rehabilitated perhaps you are, yay for you but you should be locked up just the same.

The only thing “rehabilitated” in regards to sex offenders means to me is that you are a monster that “possibly” may not attack again, however I don’t think you deserve a chance nor should society give you the opportunity to prove it.
Not at the risk of a child’s innocence.

1. Did the rapist just rape his girlfriend or did he have other victims?

Someone convicted of raping his girlfriend could be the result of a parents anger. Maybe the girl was willing but she was underage. If this was the case, he probably won’t do that again.

2. Is he a Child Molester? Sure, he may have gotten caught because he molested a child in his family, but there are probably many more victims that haven’t come forward.

Child Molesters can still have physical & sexual relationships with adults. They see the victim as a “thing”…not a human being. That is why they can do what they do, over and over again.

3. Is he a Pedophile? Pedophiles can not have relations with adults. They can not stop being sexually attracted to children.

Let me put it to you this way.

If a law were passed tomorrow stating that you could only be attracted to the same sex, would that be enough to make you truly attracted to the same sex? NO!

It is the same with Pedophiles.

There is no cure, there are no laws to stop them.

Bottom line is this, are you willing to gamble with your child’s life? With their innocence?

I am not.

I always wonder what a RsO has done. I wonder if he isn’t one of those poor souls who was 18 and his girlfriend was 15. The law is stupid the way they deal with this stuff.

Anyway, the comment above is perfect. Exercise some form of caution, but also realize these RSOs are people too who may just have gotten screwed by the overreacting government and general populace.

In most cases, when people think of registered sex offender, they think of someone that is Charles Manson or John Wayne Gayce in personality, when in reality most RSO’s are usually more timid and less likely to be involved with society. In fact, the bigger problem with sex offenders are not that they are prone to recidivism, but that shutting them out completely actually adds to that chance.

So the answer is obvious: Invite the registered sex offender to a neighborhood watch meeting. Note that I didn’t say he should join that night, nor did I say he should be considered someone you can trust your kids, or even with your adult friends. In fact, we aren’t asking that you do this out of deference to him.

Instead, this is an opportunity to actually defuse the fear that many people have. That fear generally works AGAINST families, not help them cope with potential dangers. And of course, certainly I don’t advocate this for ALL RSO’s.

There are some points about this that should be discussed.

1. Consider the fact that some people may have shut out any rational thought when it comes to RSO’s, and may not want to attend the watch meeting if the RSO shows up. This is due to an inborn bias that cannot readily be overcome, and frankly is not something that I can help advise. However, note that it is BECAUSE of this bias that such registries occur in the first place. (Imagine the man to be a burglar, a carjacker, or a child ABUSER, not sex offender. Realistically compare offenses in that manner).

2. While not necessary, it would be wise to have a community law enforcement rep at the meeting, not so much for actual safety, but peace of mind by the membership.

3. When you invite the RSO, let him say a few words to the general meeting. Don’t interrogate him on his crime, as he has already been tried, sentenced, and punished for it; ostensibly, he’s either being rehabilitated (on parole, therefore still under jurisdiction of the court), or post correctional with just a requirement to register. To interrogate him would not be reassuring to the questioner, and frankly is not productive to your goal, which is community safety.

4. Obviously, he’s not looking for friends at this time. But if he passes muster at the first meeting, invite him on a regular basis. Over time, his demeanor and personality will overcome your natural desire to judge him as an offender. In fact, he may be at a point where you can consider him to potentially join the group as a participating member. Of course, such membership should only be offered with certain limitations. You can refer to your law enforcement liaison representative for guidelines.

5. Finally, I’m not saying that anyone should ever invite the offender into their life as one would any other non-RSO neighbor. But, with everything else in life, a person’s intuition should always be highly regarded, and as time progresses, you will most probably see that the RSO is not really the devil that society has him to be…

…But there are exceptions. Those exceptions are very rare, and frankly are more likely to evolve from non-RSO’s than from RSO’s. And certainly, these people aren’t going to let a listing on the Internet Registry, or exclusion from society, affect their own offending personalities. THOSE people represent the <8% of all offenders who need to be segregated from society, not released and camouflaged in a registry amidst many others who can be treated and, in fact, will never offend again.

I hope this helped, even a little.
