Eagle, Colorado (ThaLunatic Daily) -- Some criminals are downright evil, while others are simply too stupid to figure out which end of a salt salt shaker yields salt. Some may view this as a fault, while others thrive on it.Enter one Mr. Zach Frease. To gents like this, stupidity is a badge of honor. It's a source of pride that makes a man like Zachie look straight into that old camera and s

A satellite system devoted to tracking sex offenders recently released from prison suffered from too many bugs to be realistically implemented. The original idea was to use four satellites as a GPS to keep more accurate tabs on known sex offenders by way of an attached radio-transmitting ankle tag."...a pilot found that the signal emitted from the tracking devices could be blocked by clouds, buildings or leaves. It was also lost underground and on some trains. The Ministry of Justice has decided to focus instead on lie detectors as a means of controlling paedophiles released on parole. The U-turn will leave ministers facing accusations that they have failed to address the threat that communities face from 30,000 registered sex offenders."
Do You Want to be Told When a Sex Offender Moves in to Your Neighborhood? - Megan's Law does not require that law enforcement authorities actively announce to the community in general that registered sex offenders have moved in. As a matter of fact - the main method of notification, is that they have a website that you can access that shows the name, address, and sometimes location on a map, the addresses of registered sex offenders. You have to ask for the information. More: continued here Other Review: On Becoming Baby Wise: Book II (Parenting Your Pretoddler Five to Fifteen Months) (Paperback)

This is a contemporary American story if ever there was one; if only because it's hard to imagine it occuring at any other time in American history. It says a lot about our country today. What it says is up for grabs."Sex Offender Seeking Seat on School Board" A Horatio Alger story--kinda--from the Denver Post:A Delta school board candidate says his criminal record has been overstated publicly and is relevant only because it shows he overcame daunting barriers to become successful.Dale Haag, 48, is a registered sex offender who also was convicted of starting a fire in Sioux Falls, S.D., that killed two women when he was 17. But a supporter said Haag's rough start in life makes him uniquely qualified to be a board member of the Delta County Joint School District.Haag, who is very open about his past, is undeterred by an onslaught of bad publicity and said he will not change his focus of strong discipline and encouraging more parental involvement."I'll tell you up front, I've got zer
The Little Elm Town Council has approved two ordinances restricting where sex offenders can live and gather.
It sounds like something straight out of last week’s Boston Legal episode:
Council members voted 3-2 to restrict registered sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of places where children commonly gather, including schools, parks, libraries, day care centers and video arcades.
The council also passed an ordinance 5-0 that prohibits registered sex offenders - regardless of where they live - from going within 1,000 feet of places where children commonly gather. Town officials say they know of no other municipality that bans all sex offenders outright from certain areas.
The key phrase is that the Collin County town’s officials are unaware of any other municipality banning sex offenders from certain areas.
Both of these ordinances are ripe for legal challenges. Though anyone is loath to defend the actions of a sex offender, such ordinances are highly controversia
When my sister and I went to the laundrette the other night, the walls were climbing with men that felt so sex offenderee. They were in pairs. They were creepy and disheveled. The kinds of men that don't wear freshly laundered clothes because they're too busy trying to hide their electronic anklets and man tits. You know... side effect from the stop fucking young boys drugs they take. PS: Don't break up with me yet. Next week, I will be blogging wayyyyy more (towards the end of the week).
Social networking site MySpace reported on Tuesday that they had detected and deleted 29,000 registered sex offenders from their system, but ask yourself how many sex offenders still have MySpace pages because they haven’t been arrested and registered yet. I’m not sure what I want to do...
and why I don't like them the way they are now.We need to be less vague in describing what is a sex crime nationwide before we make sex offenders register, so that people like this, who commit "victimless crimes" don't end up with their lives ruined over something as minute as selling lingerie.
MySpace.com said today that they are going to provide law enforcement officials with information on registered sex offenders that are using the highly popular social Web site.
Last week attorney generals from eight states demanded that MySpace provide information on the number of registered sex offenders that use the site, as well as where they live. Initially MySpace refused, citing the US federal privacy laws. However, Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut Attorney General, said that the company has agreed to comply.
Blumenthal said, “Our subpoena compels this information right away within hours not weeks, without delay because it is vital to protecting children,” and that “many of these sex offenders may have violated their parole or probation by contacting or soliciting children on MySpace.”
Blumenthal also said that his office will be looking not only for names and addresses, but also for how the sex offenders used the Web site. They will then cross-refere
By Dorothy M. Neddermeyer, PhDAccording to Finkelhor (Finkelhor, 1984; Araji and Finkelhor, 1985) there are four components that contribute, in differing degrees and forms, to development of a child molester's behavior. To explain the diversity of behavior of sexual abusers, there are four factors in a complementary process. These four factors are sexual arousal, emotional congruence, blockage, and disinhibition:Sexual arousal: In order for an adult to be aroused by a child, there has frequently been cultural or familial conditioning to sexual activity with children or early fantasy reinforced by masturbation. In my 25 years of working in recovery with sexual abuse survivors and sex offenders, all sex offenders are either physical and/or sexual abuse survivors as well. Contrary to popular belief, the majority of sex offenders can be healed and live a normal life without offending. The key to successfully treating sex offenders is to address their physical and/or sexual abuse after aff

This is some bizarre stuff. First seen here.A 29-year-old convicted sex offender managed to pass himself off as a 12-year-old child, attending one school for several months before anybody realised.Not only did he convince school authorities that he was a young boy, but he also fooled two men he was living with at the time - both of whom had sexual relations with him, while under the impression that he was 12 years old.Source: MetroWHAA...T?Technorati: Bizarre, News
