Petition to Declare Public Sex Offender Registration in the United States a Violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)
Today, approximately one-million people in the United States are forced to register as “sex offenders”. The label leads to stigmatization, separation from society, loss of employment, loss of housing and even exposure to violence at the hands of vigilantes. The stigmatization extends to the spouses, children, family, friends, employer and anyone that associates with the registrant. The isolation, shame, stress, fear of violence, loss of income and other psychological effects are experienced by the entire household.
The reporter does seem very biased in his tone and manner. What needs to be addressed, in this whole thing that is beginning to resemble a Gordian Knot, is it even LEGAL to state that an s.o. cannot conduct business within that 1200, 1500, or 1000-foot zone?
Crazy thing, seems that the reporter(s) expressed that this suit was justifiable, which it is. However, the very first comment of the airing already had viewers defensive and negative with listening to the rest with an open mind.
