Registries are not useful enough to justify their existence

I'm not sure it is your "right as a human" to "have tools supplied" to you. But I am sure that if you are part of a group that gets such tools created, it is your OBLIGATION to pay for the tools and deal with the myriad problems that are created by them. The obligation exists as long as the tools and the problems they create exist.
You have absolutely nothing that is of use there in PA? Can you not do background checks on people? Since you are so concerned about your kids that you think a public Registry would be worth all the problems it will cause, I assume that you have done background checks on people already. Is that the case?
After all, I know you are concerned about people's past behavior with regard to a lot more than just what a s*x crimes Registry will show you. For example, I can tell you undoubtedly that you should be a lot more concerned about a person that would put your child in a car and then drive it recklessly than someone who would touch your child. That person is far more common and far more dangerous and destructive. But it's a lot harder to get hysterical about that person, isn't it?
The answer lies with educating your children, not keeping them away from a few people. It doesn't lie with creating a huge underclass of people and making it difficult for them to live lawfully. Those people WILL lash back in some manner.
