Do you believe in that site and trust what they say?
Straight off the home page:
People talk about Megan’s law. But Megan’s Law will save few children’s lives. Same for the Amber Alert and missing children sites.
I'll agree with that. When it comes to saving children, these laws and websites are worthless.
With over 2000 children missing a day...
Won't argue with 2000 kids missing every day. But since only around 100 are the victims of stranger abduction(NCMEC data), or one out of every 6000 or so, it seems concentrating on RSOs is like trying to blow out a match while the house burns down around you.
...and a pedophile for every square mile of America, (250,000 to 500,00) using these resources alone is like going to a gunfight armed with a knife.
This one's hilarious. There may indeed be 250,000 pedophiles in the USA. Might even be 500,000. Probably more than that, a very small portion of which are also registered sex offenders. But one per square mile? Somebody flunked basic 6th-grade geography, because the USA covers just over 6 MILLION square miles. The fact that they would even say the size of the USA in square miles VARIES from 250,000 to 500,000 is as stupid as you can get. What, does it grow and shrink with the seasons or something? ROTFLMAO
Most states, if not all, have lost track of the majority of their registered child molesters.
Really? Better tell them that. Because the states think they know exactly where 4 out of 5 are. States like Florida can guarantee they know where at least half of them are, because they're still locked up:-)) West Virginia I believe is missing maybe 1 in 100, the best in the nation. Hardly "the majority".
And only the extremely dangerous are even on the registry. Worse yet - most states don't even have a sex offender registry.
Can you BELIEVE this garbage? Who wrote this stuff?
This is a grave dishonor to Megan Kanka, who, in 1994 was abducted, raped and viciously murdered by a neighborhood pedophile that was out on parole for identical crimes.
The fact that New Jersey has done NOTHING to toughen up the sentencing and parole eligibility for repeat child molesters is where the dishonor is.
This site has some serious credibility issues. While the stories are indeed tragic, fact is there is no clear majority of tragedies perpetrated by repeat offenders.
