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.
Its always like a breath of fresh air when a woman steps up and speaks out against the registry. She said everything we already know, and I enjoyed reading many of the comments that agreed with her.
I had to bite my tongue because of one commenter. I wanted so badly to reach through my computer screen and throat punch him for his ignorant comments, but it just goes to show that there will always be idiots who don’t or won’t see the truth.
Everyone should be required to watch this video in it’s entirety before being allowed to download a SO tracking app. Unfortunately, society would still scoff and ask: “this is satire, right?”
Guess that video does say it all with a candy coating on it. While all states still struggle with the registry a good Letter to one’s Governor of the state is always good.. Remind them of grace and true justice. This lifetime registry is a bit unorthodox in many principals that governments are still scratching their heads on. Guess a mission statement would be judge not or you will be judged today in a court of law.
