Oops! My bad. Sorry.

I thought that the only people that were on the sex offender list were the really violent sex offenders.

That of course was its original intent. List the people who are dangerous. But as they will do if given the chance, some states went a lot further and decided to just throw everybody in the pot. Some states got it right, at least with regards to the Internet registry. They only have the dangerous Level 3 offenders on there. New York is an example. Other states put everybody on regardless of offense or without factoring in the person's danger to society. As I recently learned, Florida goes so far as to put people who are in prison on their registry. One would think an inmate behind bars wouldn't be a danger to the community, but...

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

Until I got to this site I thought that the only people that were on the sex offender list were the really violent sex offenders. 
I saw the post where you told why you are on the list and I honestly do not think that you should be there. I honestly dont think that you should have been arrested/convicted for talking to the child about her behavior in your house! 
Over the years I have taken in quite a few teenagers, both male and female, for a varity of reasons. The main one being that their parents just couldnt be bothered with raising their own kids. On several occasions I have had to have THAT talk with some of the kids. I have always tried to be very blunt and very up front with the talks. While living in my house, there was NO sex allowed, BUT I am also as sure, that the moment that I was not home, it did, on occasion happen (I dont know for sure). The idea that because I talked to these kids about sex, it  could have ended me in the same boat as you, tells me just how lucky I was! Here I thought that I was being the parent they (apparently) didnt have!
