UK’s DailyMail got it so wrong!
We don’t know where to begin. A story in the UK’s Daily Mail (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11495915/More-400-pedophile-dens-California-18-sex-predators-live-together.html) about clusters of housing in California that house persons forced to register, which they call “Pedophile Dens”, paints a grievously unjust picture of the situation.
From referring to the people forced to register as “Pedophiles” (which is a clinical diagnosis that most registrants DO NOT have), to suggesting the living arrangement is dangerous to the community (without citing any statistics that these areas have higher instances of sexual crimes), to claiming the residents share child pornography (it’s pretty harsh to accuse people of committing crimes without any proof that is taking place), the story is just a disgusting piece of journalism.
Please share your comments on the actual page. We hope our friends in California will speak out against this.

Hi,
I post this comment and also did a formal factual Inaccuracy report to the Daily mail.
I know journalism is worse every day but this piece is way wrong. First you call them (Pedo Den). Question is, do you have the medical diagnostic from all those offenders? Second why do you accuse them of watching porn and talking about kids? Do you have proof? And third…. Do you know that not all sex offenders are predators and that not all offenders have victims or underage victims?? Please I invite you to do better journalism.
Thanks
Some research has been shared, but they really limit us in the number of characters we can use. Otherwise a lot more could have been shared.
So far, no comments have been posted, and all appear to we awaiting moderation.

We should share the below with their editor.
What was that great quote by Jack Nicholson?
“You can’t handle the truth”.
I have learned more about life while on the registry than all my other years combined. Two of those things is that everything is not what it seems and there is more going on in the World than we can fathom.
Had a nice sound to it and yes you are right one never stops learning. Yet who is being taken advantage of with this registry. Yet a change is going to come and many governments will see the error of their ways with many of these sex registry issues.
If you fear them congregating, imagine if they formed statewide associations to push for change.

Just spit my coffee all over the keyboard. You owe me $20 HAHA
This is a UK publication which can’t publish UK sex offender names like they did for the US. Also England has RIGHTS when it comes to renting apartments. You can’t just throw someone on the streets because they are on a sex offender registry. They don’t have residency restrictions or a public registry. They also have the opportunity to get off a registry at 15 years and generally are let off if they have no issues.
It is a lot harder to fear monger using the UK registry and very easy to use the US registry.
I live in Sacramento.
The Sheriff was on the radio this morning hyping up this story. The sheriff has done his constituency a dis-service spreading this false fear to the citizens.
If not for my living arrangements, I would be homeless.
I would not be surprised if public support for the sheriff’s statement of “These pedophiles need to go back to prison” land some persons required to register into homelessness and/or God forbid thrown back into incarceration for a mispreceived crime that could have happened in the minds falsely frightened constituents.
Ex Post Facto applies to all citizens unless (sex) was involved in your crime and then it’s just open season I guess. 😶
