Recently we had an occasion where LE was called and interviewed our kid.
The wife was at work, and the kid was home. I, of course was not home. The wife was returning home from work, but in the 15 minutes it took her to get home, the LE was alone in the home with the minor child.
The issue had nothing to do with sex offenses, but rather an issue of violence that had been witnessed. Actually quite a serious situation.
When the wife got home, she asked the normal questions, Are you ok? What did you see?
Then, being the snotty Libertarian she is, noting there was a police officer in her home uninvited, asked him (unfairly I think) "Have you been alone with my daughter in my home all this time?"
The officer was very shaken up simply being asked this question. he was very respectful and kind to everyone, so I felt this question was out of line, but the effect it had was tremendous.
It brings to light how powerful the hysteria of child sexual abuse can be when improperly used. Private companies making statements about no cures, and preying and such, propel the agenda to create hysteria-driven customers to purchase their services, like cell phone alerts if a RSO moves nearby.
So I thought, why not create a User's Guide for the hysteria. We all have had thoughts about what we could do to shock society.
My favorite would be to wear a I AM A SEX OFFENDER - BITE ME T-shirt to the police station.
Dropping implications seems to have a shocking effect.
If your child is not picked for a team, and another child is, asking the coach if she gets special services from certain vulnerable children, like sex, and thats why your kid was not picked.
Obviously this is partially a serious thread and partially one for humor.
Using these ideas could easily backfire and make things worse, but the entertainment value is priceless.

Well i have thought about two things if i win the lottery....
A - the area around the governors mansion here in des moines is one of the areas that sex offenders are allowed to live. But has like 600k homes..thought about making one an apartment and inviting only sex offenders to live there : )
B - Get a bunch of sex offenders organized into a company...the company buys up homes on a block and sex offenders register thier addresses there..the 'hysteria' will get so out of control 'normals' will move out and the value of thier properties go down because no one wants to live near a sex offender. Then buy it up..move all the sex offenders out , value goes back up : )
Both these ideas i have 'fantased' about i talked it over with my girlfriend. she laughed..but we both agree that if we do it the sex offenders invovled wont be the worst of the bunch..just those that were convicted of lesser sex crimes. I dont want to be responsilble for organizing a bunch fo sex offenders and something happen. I couldnt live with myself

I wish I could talk my husband into wearing that t shirt down to the police station on registration day, but he'd never do it. I could get one that says "I'm still a danger to society" for myself!

I like the shirt, but no one would buy it if I was wearing it! I was watching a prison movie with some of my friends and they were all teasing me, saying that if I was in prison I would be the "mastermind" who runs the illegal cigarette operation that everyone would have to go to for protection. So I am a tad assertive!

Actually they changed the shirt. Mine has a rather disheveled smiley-face on it, not the postal guy.
My daughter bought it for me:-))
Kind of curious how you think you would stack up in prison?

One of my friends got me a favorite t-shirt for christmas
You Laugh Now
But will you be laughing when I crawl out from under your bed?
we could modify this to
But will you be laughing when I crawl out from under your daughter's bed?
Fits me cuz I dress like a derelectand have curly hair, what's left of it that sticks out on the sides. People hand me spare change sometimes when they aren't running away with their children.

Was Orolan's question alluding to you going to prison as a Correctional Officer or as an inmate? I wouldn't want to be in either position.

I don't either. I was just wondering if you feel you would survive if you did.
