Sad thing is, not all sex offenders are adults. Not all sex offenders are male, either. Sex offenders can be children and women. I hate all sex offenders, from the child molester to frottage jerk, and all the way up to the serial killer. Know your sex offender registry ladies like you know the Mall, and guys like you know your cars engine (not trying to be sexist). Know where your children like to hangout. Know the babysitter, the uncle or aunt your kid does not like being near, the older kid in the neighborhood who spends too much time near your little kid. Go with your instinct. DTA= Don't Trust Anybody with your kid. Yeah, and stop posting pics of your kids, too. It is a common warning on most adult sites to not post pics of your kids. Your true love will soon find out about the babes.

I know that in the state of Illinois, anyone who has to register as a sex offender is required to register EACH and EVERY email address, website, profile, forum login, and anything else internet-related that would give them contact with "potential victims" with their local law enforcement agency, same as they have to register employment and address. Failure to do so can result in a class 3 or 4 felony charge against them, and if they are not already required to register for their natural life, it extends their required registration period by 10 years. I know people will argue that some of the people registered as sex offenders "got a bum deal" or something along the lines of that, but the majority did something to deserve it. Sex offending often is progressive as well, so although someone might be convicted for having sex with someone who is 15-18 (still a minor), at least they were stopped at that point. I've heard from convicted child molesters that they started in that same position, thinking it was 'no big deal', but people choose victims based on availability/access/attraction, so don't think they have one "type". Report it to your local agency and find out what your state laws require for sex offender registration. Better to "overreact" than to let them find another victim. I'm a probation officer (adult/sex offender specific) - I know I would appreciate public reports on any of my clients that would help me make the community safer... =)

i think its creepy how alot of guys are getting really defensive on this subject....

I think it's really creepy how people are rushing to judgment based solely on a very broken system.

And not only, as others mentioned, are innocent people being railroaded, but some children have been indirectly harmed by the system designed to protect them. For example, about a year or two ago, a child was killed when she was run over by a car after having wandered away from a day care.

Interestingly, a man driving along had spotted her and was going to pull over to check on her, but he ended up driving past because he was afraid that he might be branded a pedophile for approaching a young girl. Similarly, I remember seeing an episode of Dateline NBC where a girl (with mother nearby but out of sight) was left alone on a sidewalk. Most of the women who walked past stopped to ask her where her parents were, but not a single man stopped.

I gotta say, I can't blame any guy for thinking that way.

It's a shame there isn't a law that requires every male to be put through a background check before he is allowed to date.

Wow, with that statement I think you pretty well nullified any credibility you might have otherwise had...

0-5 years - 30 years to life
6-10 years - 15 to 30 years
11-15 years - 5 to 15 years
16-17 years - 0 to 5 years

== my response. severe or not, if I come across you pedos you will find cyanide in your coffee and ill make you look pretty too. When I grow up I hope I can rid those kind of scum from the earth, give a new name to bounty hunters (and it is in my things to do while I still have breath in me). xoxox

808 and you are such a bleeding heart, your responses are pretty much predictable.

For predators, offending is not a one time thing. They hunt, they are predators and as such they should be hunted back. For those that are in the habit of preying on young innocent victims, (children, not sexually active teens, but children who dont even think about sex) they should be just taken out of their miserably lives and shot in the head. No sympathy lost there. There are politicians raping kids as young as 3, luckily the father of the kid put a bullet in each jerks head after the system failed him. (http://www.austriantimes.at/news/Around_the_World/2009-10-16/17302/Judge_Dreadful_killer_a_hero)
And the way Hollywood is romanticizing underage sex is beyond disgusting. Hence the Polanski guy who claimed himself it was rape. (http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2009/10/08/the-polanski-culture-hollywoods-push-to-normalize-sex-with-children/#more-242242) So spare me the poor sexual predator bits, if they were real men they'd think where they put their wieners in before they force their tiny crap unto others. Yeah if they make it to jail, they might even like it, if they drop the soap.

And your awnser to that 808 was a sarcastic one, relating to your previous posts.

Listen to yourself. That's just appalling. Should we all have a card we have to carry as proof? Will the police throw us into gaol if they find us at a restaurant with a woman and we can't produce the card?

So only the men must have a background check? Because ALL women are perfect and free from sin, right?

Would it surprise you to know there are plenty of predatory women in schools around the world molesting and seducing their male and female students? There have been some notorious cases over here and around the world where the magistrates have handed down some pretty heavy penalties. Of course you only choose to believe it's men who're the culprits here, so now EVERY man must suffer for the sins of a few. Every man you encounter is guilty until proven innocent?

Show due dilligence with the men you date by all means, but to discriminate against half the population because you THINK they all MIGHT be potential sex-offenders is just plain stupid.

No you are feeding them, clothing them, giving them cable, and letting them not get tortured by someone who would love to get rid of them. Nah I dont think its too much. Unless you want to pay for animals like that to be enjoying a nice vacation indoors. Aim. Fire. See the movie law abiding citizen. I liked it actually. The pervs should never get scott free when they are guilty. For those in betweens well they need to walk the straight line. It takes a lot of eyes and thanks to the OP for bringing it to our awareness. For some reason we think out of sight and out of mind, but rape, molestation and all that other crap goes many times unreported, by pervs who befriend the family or are within the family. They just get away with it because family is too stupid to report it, in denial or blatantly blind. So yeah no love lost. And my rants over. But think about the program how to catch a predator, how many stupid men have fallen for that bait, and how many more continue to do so. So yeah..either men are really pathetic that they need to get a young underage teen to have sex with them, or they are highly delusional. Besides they have said that during their whole story they have never caught a woman. (yet)

PS. A bullet doesn't discriminate, those lazy undersexed women who are preying on young boys deserve it as well. Boohoo my man doesn't pay me enough attention so I'm going to make a boy have sex with me and call it love. Once again see the link on Hollywood glorifying underage sex. Never mind that jerk who killed her daughter's friend and stuffed her in the suitcase. There is no reform for that sort of evil.

For predators, offending is not a one time thing.

But the topic at hand isn't just "predators," it's "registered sex offenders." As many here have mentioned, not all people who are forced to register are true predators. The system was well-intentioned but it encompasses far too many minor offenses, many of which have already been addressed in this thread.

i am a parent, i NEVER let anyone into my kids life that i did not trust, neither did his mom,
parents should take some of the responsibility if there children get molested, as for the pedo's i dont know about the states but here in canada they are given a slap in the wrist hardly ever serve time in jail, and if they have money, and a good lawyer get off scot free, i dont even think we have a list in this country,canada is light years behind the USA as far as punishing these animals

Texas Department of Pardons and Paroles has been requiring people to register as sex offenders, even though they were not convicted of sex crimes. (Litigation on this is pending) So, just because he is registered, do you know he committed a sex crime?

Wow!!! lotsa paranoids in here and no sensees. Look, i have a buddy who was 19 years old and was convicted of a sexual offense cuz the girl at a party who was slighlty intoxicated as he was, had sex with him and then went nuts. First she lied about her age being only 15 saying she was 17, and how many guys or girls for that matter would check ID's at that age and point? Sorry, but many many women get busted for digustingly sexual acts and actually more percentage of women get away with them than a guy does for many reasons. Like, the guy or boy won't ever say anything about what happened to them. So, shall we go on a witch hunt for the ladies convicted of such crimes? Besides, most sexual crimes are unreported still and I bet u some of the ladies and guys here have something to hide and not been caught. Be freaking rational about these things. Please. If you don't put yourself in a compromising situation of getting nabbed by a sexual predator then why worry. See my words? SEXUAL PREDATORS ARE WAY DIFFERENT THAN ALMOST ALL SIMPLY CONVICTED PEOPLE OF SOME SEXUAL CRIMES.

THIS is one of the main reasons I gripe about people posting pics of themselves with their children in the photographs.

On a dating site? Come on, people.


I've thought this many times, Violet.

I was a mod on another forum and any pictures of members' children were automatically deleted. Some people just don't get the risk factor and get quite arsey about it...

Two statements (among others) indicating problems in our society that are downright scary:
1. "It's a shame there isn't a law that requires every male to be put through a background check before he is allowed to date."
2. "There are plenty of good men available who aren't on a sex offender registry to choose from so why bother with one that is?"

Why are they so scary?
1. It is automatically assumed that only men are offenders. Why should not everybody be screened, if it is a good idea? Because all women are incapable of harming kids? It may sound benign, but let your thinking get away with accepted injustices between sexes and before you know if a good father has a snowball's chance in hell in a custody case against a bad mother. 'Mother knows best' or other stereotypical (non)reasoning has to be overcome before the field is even level. It's like starting with a major handicap. Would that be in the child's best interest? The same is true in all the other examples I read here. Would a women hesitate to help a child? No, because she has nothing to fear, a man should, because he could end up on that list. Which brings me to my next point.
2. This type of thinking is even more dangerous. It acknowledges a bad system with a high positive error ranking and 'just to be safe' advocates shunning the population without questioning. Imagine everybody took a mandatory AIDS test with a 5% positive error (I took that number from a post above). Imagine YOU were wrongly tested positive and lose your job as a result, because you cannot dispute the result. If a system has known flaws, the flaws should be fixed. Imagine yourself ending up on that list like in the example of the citizen's arrest, where supposedly even the sentencing judge disagreed. That is bad enough. Do you want that lynchmob mentality on top of the injustice? I'd say ask that guy about everything and verify with other sources. Do I care about consensual statutory rape as far as my child is concerned? Not nearly as much as real rape or other molestations.

Crying wolf diminishes how effective those lists can be. Perhaps they should have two or three lists so that those with common sense don't overlook the one rapist among the many pee-ers and mooners. We'll just focus on the important list.

my previous post, agreed with the op, but even i have to admit it would be crazy to have an 18 year old get put on the list for having sex with a 16 or 17 year old young woman, and i do agree that way too many play the victim in custody cases

Why not put his name on here?



because it is against POF rules .... as well as some laws ...if his reason for being on the list does not require a restriction against him being on a dating site ..he will have a legal right to have her arrested if she gives out his info ...

I actually took the time to look up the legal definition of sex offender...

sex offender n. generic term for all persons convicted of crimes involving sex, including rape, molestation, sexual harassment and pornography production or distribution. In mosst states convicted sex offenders are supposed to report to local police authorities, but many do not. (See: rape, molestation, sexual harassment, pornography)

the is also a crime called statutory rape, sex with a minor.....thinking someone is of legal age is not a defense, its an excuse....

Bottom line is you and only you can protect yourself and your children....if anyone gives you any cause to be alarmed RUN.....and don't ever leave your children alone with anyone unless you are 100% sure they are not up to something....if your child gets molested it YOUR fault, not the molester because you put your child in that situation.....

Good luck and stay safe

It happens. I saw a young man convicted of statutory rape - 3+ years age difference and she was under 16. They later married and had two kids. They moved twice w/o giving the state notice and he was prosecuted for failure to register a change of address. Sad but true. Also sad is when people in the crim system try to justify this injustice by pointing at the number of serious offenders in the system. As if it's alright to burn a few women when you're trying witches.

How do you know that this guy is actually out and about looking for single women with kids?

I mean I understand these types of people can be dangerous but is it possible the guy is trying to reshape his life? I mean if you have proof that the guy is out and about actually trying to go at it again you could probably report it to the proper authorities and they'd look into it. But you can't just say that he's doing it because he's on a dating site.

I think too many people throw everyone in the sex offender category into one big pile. While a good portion of these people may have done it constantly, and still attempt to, and people should have a right to make sure they're up to it again...some people had it happen once in their life, paid their debt, and never went off to do it again. But society brands them for life, and puts them on a website, and once it's found out it's all over.

Good game, yo.

It wouldn't matter WHAT he was on the offender's list for or whether or not I'm a parent. Being involved in any way with someone who is on the list would be occupational suicide for me since I teach other people's children in a private setting.
I met someone here on POF last summer that once he knew what I did for a living started asking me if I had any fantasies about my work. I was so pissed that he would disrespect my livelyhood for his own amusement and stupidity. I blocked him as fast as I could.

We have a practicing veterinarian in town who had a thing for little girls and is in the registry. I don't know how he gets any business from people with children, but they either don't know or don't care.
As far as including children in your pics in a dating site, I personally find it pretty inappropriate and distasteful, but I find more dads seem to do it than moms do.

I've included this on my profile after seeing it in someone else's here:

I've been accused of "fear mongering" by someone in the forums here, but their opinion of me doesn't matter.

IMPORTANT BULLETIN:
UNCOOL (+ DANGEROUS?) TO POST WITH YOUR KIDS ON THIS SITE WHERE POTENTIAL PREDATORS LURK. KIDS SHOULD NOT BE USED AS SALES TOOLS TO MARKET YOURSELF. PLEASE PETITION POF TO CHANGE THEIR POLICY ON POSTINGS WITH CHILDREN TO AT LEAST MASK OUT THEIR FACES IF POSTED. FOR WIDER COVERAGE OF THIS MESSAGE, PLEASE COPY & PASTE INTO YOUR OWN PROFILE. THANKS
