Before committing these crimes, people know their information will be public, so you'd figure they would stop themselves, if they could, to avoid the consequences of their crime.

If you don't want to be tagged a child molester, then don't molest a child. If you don't want to be tagged a murderer then don't murder people.

I would rather have a person who molested a child feel a prisoner in their own home then parents in a neighborhood feeling they can't let their children play at a park because they don't know if there's a sex offender living nearby. If my child is going to a friends house to hang out I can look online and see if a convicted child molester lives there.

Strange that a child molester has more rights then homosexuals in America.
Guess I don't agree. Part of living in a society such as Russia or China then perhaps that would be true, but not living in a so called free society. If our rights in this country continue to be erroded then maybe it won't be so unlike living in a third world country.

And, keep in mind, we aren't talking about just child molesters....we're talking about sex offenders......that includes child molesters but also includes a guy having sex in bushes with another adult, or having sex in a backroom in a bar if a cop happens to see them. The law currently applies the same to all sex offenders, that is just plain wrong.

Child molesters, as I said, need to be treated differently... much more harsh and their punishment more severe. I don't know how it should be done but I just know that lumping a child molester and and some guy leaving a bar at 2 AM and getting a BJ in an alley in the same sex offenders category is wrong.

BTW, go back and read my post, if you are convicted of murder, serve your time and are released, you are NOT tagged as a murder. You don't get placed on any list and you can move anywhere you want and not have to report your address.
