MOONING. A childish silly display of your ass, usually done all in fun.<BR/><BR/>I worked for a forensic psychologist for 3 years. She oversaw the outpatient treatment of sex offenders who were released from prison in H-, Texas. I have to tell you, I read all of their files. They each had monthly sessions with her (or more, depending on their sentence and release), plus they were required to attend weekly support groups. So many of these men were required to do this for things they had done as teenagers. Several of them had bogus charges. About 1/3 of them were actually TRUE sex offenders (I'm including any non consensual act), and of that third there were 2 child molesters as we would consider them in the true evil of the word (only one would have ever done it again though). Only 2 of them (1 being that child molester) were what I would consider a sexual predator, which to me is someone who if given the opportunity will seek to do it again. <BR/><BR/>It hurt me how some of these men suffered. Their lives were ruined, destroyed. And YES I do believe we all deserve, and our children deserve, to be safe from those 2 men who were predators. I don't know what the right answer is, but I think the public registry is wrong. I also think life sentences for all SO's is wrong. Perhaps there could be classes of charges and more designations of limitations for the crime and amount of time someone is in that registry. I think sometimes in it's zeal to impose structure and justice the law hurts more than it helps.<BR/><BR/>Chemical castration is a good option for sexual predators. They hate it, but giving them a choice of that or creating working prison situations for them (factory jobs with housing nowhere near schools, neighborhoods, etc.)... I don't really know. I do know the rabid anti SO response is wrong though. I've seen it in the broken men who came to my office and read it in the stories of their lives and talked it over with their therapist, my wonderful boss, who did all she could to separate the truly bad from the rest.Amaltheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10454407895127778441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313594.post-60268742706695261932008-12-16T01:55:00.000-08:002008-12-16T01:55:00.000-08:00Here's my solution.Here's <A HREF="http://one-salient-oversight.blogspot.com/2006/06/life-terms-for-child-abusers_30.html" REL="nofollow">my solution</A>.Neil Cameron (One Salient Oversight)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03143948543305522865noreply@blogger.com
