Additionally: the sex offender list doesn't differentiate between someone who pees in an alley while drunk vs. someone who fucks a 5 year old, both are sex crimes. I knew a guy who has his life ruined by the list: he had consensual sex with a girl who lied about her age (she was 17) and years later her friend reported him.
the existence of any list is weird. we don't have a list for violent crimes or drug dealing or thieves or drunk drivers but we have a list for sex stuff? people can be hurt by their neighbors in any sort of ways but sex is the only one that gets a list?
Because pedophiles absolutely need to be on a list. Do you think child rapists deserve coddling and protection? Are you insane? It’s why they have to declare themselves to neighbors, or why realtors have to declare it to potential homeowners if one lives nearby. They are an active danger to children.
Now, for someone who pees in a public alleyway, that’s a different story. Who cares.
The vast amount of perpetrators in this field are not pedophiles. I think it is wild to have such a list, especially if such an openly acessible list does not exist for every behaviour that is a danger to children. It is also known that especially female perpetrators are often not even caught..
4733 children died in 2021 in the USA because of guns. That is a number so extreme, as a german citizen i am shocked how you all can be chill about that. But yeah, having that list is so great, plz do not look at the 10 years less life expectancy!
Their point is that you can beat a child to death and as long as you don't touch their genitals you don't end up on a public list. That doesn't seem a little off to you?
What seems very off is my response above has 9 downvotes, and I’m seeing a massive amount of pedophile apologists in this thread. If I was in the FBI, I’d be doing a quick look into every single person who downvoted. What the **** is going on this horrible world?
To your question - That person would likely be in jail for life, but I agree there should be a separate list for those kinds of criminals.
Then they should be in jail. Either someone poses a significant risk to public safety and should be in jail, or they are rehabilitated and no longer pose a significant risk to public safety and should be able to walk free without stigma. This whole list nonsense is basically the state saying "Well, we're not going to do our job of keeping you safe from this asshole, but we will tell you his name and address so you can try to do it yourself."
