Sex Offenders being denied access to family in hospitals
By now we’re used to being excluded. Can’t be on Facebook…. well, they sell your private information anyhow. Can’t take your kids to Disney World… who wants to pay ten bucks for an ice cream bar shaped like a mouse anyhow? But there’s a trending exclusion that brings cruel and unusual punishment to an entirely new level. Sex offenders are being denied access to visit family in hospitals.
Over the past few months, individuals on the sex offender registry have been denied entry or removed from hospitals, unable to visit dying parents or be present for the surgeries of their own children.
As a parent (and a son), I can’t imagine what I would do if I rushed to the hospital to be by my loved one’s side in the case of an emergency and was told I could not enter. I would absolutely lose my mind and I can’t imagine anyone who loved their parents or their children half as much as I do would not do the same.
As inhumane as this scenario is, it’s exactly what has been happening. Stuart Yates was removed from his son’s hospital bedside in Wisconsin. A Missouri father was denied access to Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital to be with his newborn child, who was in the NICU after he was rushed to the hospital when he stopped breathing. An FAC member, just today, was turned away from Galisono Children’s Hospital in Ft. Myers…
If hospitals are allowed to get away with excluding family members of critically ill patients because of their status on a registry; there’s no more cruel and unusual punishment I can think of. This is a nationwide problem and one we should discuss at the upcoming national conventions.

4/17/2025 my other half can’t even visit me I
have COPD,alpha-1,and Asthma and he bring me anything from the to the hospital
My Fiance is 30 it years old. When he was 21 he victimized a 14 year old girl. He was charged with Statutory rape. He was sentenced to 7 years in MO Doc. He took probation first and had 2 kids after her was realeased from 120 shock. When almost off paper he violated because the state took his children solely for the fact he was registered. He served 3 years in prison and completed a year sex offender treatment. When realesed he moved here to Florida. I met him shortly there after and Nine months later his first daughter was born. The State of Florida forced me to move out. He wasn’t allowed to see his daughter born, and she is almost a month old. They want 1000 dollars just to assess him even though he has already completed an assesment and also participated in 4 years worth of treatmrnt. He is devastated. Doesn’t leave his room and is beginning to give up hope. The registry was suppose to warn of what they have done. Not continue to punish. The mass extortion being committed by Parole and Police enforcement is overlooked because their voices do not matter. These people that swore to protect us are taking advantage of another’s mistakes. This is extortion, not to mention completely violating their rights as human beings. I wonder if Florida could afford to pay the pain and restitution they by right of law should be ordered to pay these individuals. And Florida continues to create new stipulations to place upon these people. We were starting a family. No plea agreement or law states they cant have kids. So my question now. Is wich organization is going to pay child support since they ordered him to not be involved. Because it’s not the father who wants to love his daughter and raise her that should pay for something he will be arrested fors responsibility at that point.. It should be that power hungry bastard calling the shots. The sex offender laws built on human emotion is a mockery to the U S. It doesn’t say freedom. It says freedom to do what the fuck we want you to do Your parents and our four fathers weep in their grave. And it’s on you Florida.
i think we all need to a class action lawsuit against disney. i phoned and emailed disney, they told me that i would not be allowed into the park if i am a sex offender. how do you tell your kids that they can go but daddy cant? class action time.
How do they know if you’re a sex offender? Do they run background checks on everyone that comes through the gates? That would take all day and then some.
I agree, class action suit, except going to Disney is a privilege not a right.
Disney as well as all the other Parks run your ID if your over 18 !! The closest you can get to Disney is, Disney Springs (Old Disney Market Place) in Lake Buena Vista. We go there often with the Grandkids. No Rides but lots of Restaurants, Lights, And cool things during the season !. And it’s Free, As well as free parking !!. The Rainforest Cafe is there as well as the T-REX Restaurant. The grandkids really love them both !!. And the prices are fair !!. Been going there over 15 years and never had a problem at all (yet)…. No ID checks !! Enjoy !!
At odds with what ive read and heard. Day passes werent an issue until i read this: did something change?
So how does Disney get away with acting as a “private entity” in Orlando? They are acting in the capacity of a GOVERNMENT entity, aka the Reedy Creek Improvement District. One reason that they sold the Celebration development is because some residents actually had the gall to demand to vote in local district elections. Right now, those “votes” are made by 3 or 4 senior Disney officers who “own” a little bit of land within the park property.
Same question for hospitals that receive a buttload of money from the government. That is one reason that a large percentage of universities with hospitals, even private schools, are required to admit mostly in-state students to their med school. So much for “first, do no harm.”
You are allowed to go to Disney. However, Disney will refuse you if they see your license.
The saddest thing is that in the extremely rare instance of a sexual assault at a hospital, it is an employee there who is accused, not a visitor.
