Tennessee nurses push for new law to add protection from sex offenders
Nurses in Nashville are hoping to put a new bill on the books that would add another layer of protection against registered sex offenders.
The hope is to have legislators take up a bill that would require sex offenders to present their offender identification card once inside the hospital.
“You would go register at the front desk, like any other patient, the only difference is that you would hand them your sexual offender identification card, and let them know,” explained Carissa Kohne, co-writer of the bill.
“It would allow us to plan how we would do patient care, not that it would change the care itself any…” explained Ciearria. [FAC COMMENT: Yeah right!]

Yeah I feel the same way FAC. This gives even more reason to deny services. I would love the opportunity to sit down with every nurse and ask them why they need protection in a public place. I know we’ve already seen denial for SO’S to enter hospitals to see family, correct me if i’m wrong. This is just another niche to incorporate control.
I think this is wrong. I personally first hand have seen the mistreatment of a sex offender. The emergency room nurses and dress refused to give adequate care to a sex offender having a stroke. They just let him lay there and his own body work through it. I was a CNA for years and I know all the signs of a stroke my family member was having one and they did nothing to help him because his photo ID said sex offender on it
So when the roe v Wade verdict came out some people warned against his it could change privacy rights. Of course you didn’t hear about it after the first day or two. Now, to be clear we don’t have privacy rights as it is. In my mind, it either get worse for us, or the general public starts getting treated more like registered people, then things might change for us.
I won’t go to any hospital that makes me identify myself as an offender. I can just get tested bad like everyone else at the VA.
She’s out of her mind or in denlel if she believes it wouldn’t change the level of care
Jesus Christ, everybody wants to add restrictions on us.WTF.
What is it going to take to educate the gullible in this country.
I was listening to a radio talk show last week. The subject was about a couple who had quadruplets 5 years old plus another child they were seen in a mall with the children in harnesses and leashes. It was questioned whether this was acceptable.
One older woman said not in her younger days ,no but today with weirdos waiting around every corner ready to grab your kids it’s understandable.
After her remarks the radio DJ said actually statistics show that kids have never been safer in this country than they are now. That that idea trumped up by a few front line news reports have over exaggerated the situation. The idea that someone is waiting to grab your kids is false. Sure a parent needs to be alert and teach kids to be aware of things around them. But no need to be scared of the boogie man hiding in the bushes.
I was actually surprised that someone actually got it right.
