Wow, that's so sad. You know, one thing that always gets me, as far as totally judging these people as I click on each of the little boxes...I had a friend in Texas who would come up as a sex offender if you did a search like this near his home. What's sad about it, though, is that he commited his crime about twenty years ago, when he was about 19. He had sex with his 16-year-old girlfriend (whom he married later), and, the parents pressed charges. It just makes me wary of judging all of these people without knowing what they actually did. I don't know, after meeting Romeo (yeah, that was his real name!), it really made me look at it differently. I mean, some of them say blah blah something with someone under 16 years old, and, that's pretty obvious that it wasn't consensual. But, just saying minor doesn't necessarily make them a criminal, without knowing more about it. Blech. I have friends that have a sex offender as their next door neighbor. He's married with kids. I don't know his story, though, he could be like Romeo. Thanks for posting the site, though, Laura.

I guess I see where they are actually splitting the crimes up...does it specify what they consider a child? I mean, is "child" different from "minor?" Same with rape...it may have been consensual and the parents of the 17-year-old pressed charges against the 18-year-old...ugh, i just like to be sure what i'm really looking at, ya know...
