You are strong and you can handle this. You have proven that. Just think of the open minded child you will raise. Katie, you can think of that as well. These children may very well be the ones making the laws one day and they need to learn all aspects of life to do this. You are helping them along the way. My husband and I are raising two of our grandchildren. They haven't really had any problems AT ALL. Their friends come and play, and they go to their friends homes to play. We are completely open about everything. Another good thing about what you are living now is that your children will KNOW the laws. You will make sure of that. Our grandchildren know the age of consent, what it means, the difference between good touch and bad touch and who all they can go to. They also had to be told what NOT to do. Where NOT to touch to include bra snapping, etc. So you can really raise a very aware child. Just don't allow it to be done with hysteria. Our grandchildren love their Pawpaw irregardless of his past, his label, etc. They know they are loved and taken care of the way they should be and they are thankful for that. Yes, they worry about their parents and the fact that they are not doing right by them, but they are doing great in school, have lots of friends and are happy children despite the possible obstacles of a label. As a matter of fact, what their parents are doing by not taking care of them like they should is harder on them than their Pawpaw's label.

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

Hello. I can honestly tell you that I know from experience. I live that life on a daily basis. I was the victim, though. I was 15 and he was 21. We had consisual sex and he ended up in jail for 1 year. You can read more about the whole story in one of the other forums things about victim rights. Anyways, after I turned 18 we got married and had a baby. We were forced out of our 1st house in Deltona, Fl not by our neighbors, but by the media and sherrifs office. We had obeyed all the rules, by the city doesn't want offenders in the city. We even are stuck paying capital gain tax on the proceeds of our house (we sold it 3 months too early) which is about $10,000.  We moved in to a different county and in the country. I can't say that having your address posted on the internet isn't stressful, because it is. We have cops checking up on his address at all hours of the night. If anything happens near by, they immediately suspect my husband. It's hard, but if you're up for a challange. I believe that everyone is entitled to be happy, and that not every registered sex offender should be feared. Some, of the offenders, did some thing that wasn't that wrong, or was only wrong if you look at the legal point. Legal consent age in FL is 16, even though you enter high school with 18 years olds when you're 14. Actually if a 16 and 14 year old had sex, the 16 year old can go to jail. It could be, and usually is completely consentual. I have strong oppinions about the legal consent age, and the way society treats offenders. I don't think you should let society dictate how you should live your life. Just remember to be careful, and always keep your gaurd up. You will become a target of ridicaul. But remember honesty helps, you'd be supprised how many people know about my husband and don't care. They know him, and what he did, and they think it's stuppid that he's on the sex offender's list.
