AL: >6% of state population listed on child abuse registry. If registries work, then AL must be the safest state for children!

‘Permanently removing the images from the open internet is nearly impossible, child sex abuse experts say, because pornographers throughout the world are constantly downloading the images, storing them and reposting them.’

No way! Another one hiding in a position where no one would suspect them of this? (Extreme sarcasm) And one posted as a teen boy online to find young girls to exploit? You mean they didn’t just go to an adult dating or hookup site or any other adult online sex forum to find kids to exploit, like law enforcement and vigilante groups have been claiming for many years that these are the online places predators are using to find kids to exploit? This didn’t happen on one of those adult hookup sites? Wow! This is so shocking! NOT! (extreme sarcasm AGAIN)

Again, from the inside of the 95% mentioned many times before, those in a position of trust…

What is further interesting are the links to the other articles of similar nature at the bottom the MO link above. That is a treasure trove of articles which would fit under the “Registry failed them” category.

In reply to Philip.

A few years ago I abandoned the assumption that, ‘the bigger the registry, the more likely it will collapse under pressure.’ ‘Give it time’ was my view as well.

Instead, larger registries mean lawmakers approve ever larger budgets for law enforcement to enforce them. More law enforcement jobs, more overtime pay, more lucrative contracts for OffenderWatch.

Registries and associated restrictions grow fastest wherever they are not actively fought. Educate, legislate, litigate.

You’re on a roll with this theme, FAC. Sometimes the stats on who offends don’t grab the public’s attention as the anecdotes. And even then it takes FAC to help the public put two and two together. Thank you!

Give it time. Soon the registry will become overloaded and the officers overstressed. Hopefully they will do away with it forever so we can move forward as law-abiding citizens.
