What about some COMMON SENSE????

[Laura's Babies]

I thought sex offenders couldn't be in the area of schools... and day care is like a school! That is something that needs to be FIXED!

That's strange. They must have very relaxed rules. Especially with high-risk offenders. I know some low risk offenders, 18-20 year olds having sex with 17 year old girlfriends, and even though they aren't sexual predators, they still can't go near schools. The entire sex offender system lacks common sense.

That is exactly part of the problem with the 'sex offender' lists.

An 18 year old sleeping with his 17 or 16 yr old girlfriend with angry parents gets lumped into the same catagory with the worst you can imagine.

Mention 'sex offender' and people immediately think of either a creepy preverted old man, or a person preying on little kids. Very rare does anyone think of the 18 year old who made the mistake of letting his hormones get the best of him with his underage but CONSETUAL girlfriend.
