Another good reason to start removing names from the registry.

Quoth the detective: “It’s a lifelong battle for them.”

Nothing like a heaping helping of BS on top of a steaming pile of fear-mongering.

I read that comment from him and knowing his drinking and driving skills I was like……argh. He is the worst kind of person. He sets out to hurt children and adults on purpose.

Ron Book says in the article that “Sex crimes are sex crimes. Doesn’t matter if they’re 18 or 98.”

Drunk driving offenses are drunk driving offenses. Doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 98. Or a lobbyist with a state senator in your family.

Gail getting out into the national press— this is great.

The article focused its attention on an elderly individual who, as an elderly person, committed a hands-on crime against a child.

Is this common among elderly registrants requiring nursing care?

Or do we more typically see elderly who are on the registry as a result of a different sort of crime committed when they were younger?

After all, so long as Florida mandates life registration for all types of former sexual offenders, keeping the elderly from housing will be increasingly difficult to justify.

If I had better statistics, I’d respond with a letter to the editor.

This is nothing but discrimination and a class action lawsuit should be brought against them !!

Becoming a problem here in Michigan too. Ridiculous thing is that you can talk to almost any worker in a nursing home who will tell you about the frequency that patients grab them inappropriately and sexually. Any person who is suffering from dementia can be a danger in that way. Yet, the real cases of sexual abuse in nursing homes are committed by staff, not by worn out old people.

Gail’s comments are true; people care more about stray animals (and illegals) than registered citizens. Sending Mr. Bailey back to prison would be a death sentence. Other prisoners prey on elderly, weak-minded, and “sex offender” inmates; Leonard is all three. And it’s good to see you can always count on Daddy/Nanny Ron to put in a kind word:

“Sex crimes are sex crimes,” he said. “Doesn’t matter if they’re 18 or 98.”
