Penn Foster Strategic Management - Random Thoughts

[sanantone]

You know my opinion of those registries? They create a false sense of comfort. As far as I'm concerned, you're all perverts; you just haven't been caught. Well, not quite ALL of you, but you know where I'm going with this. Lots of folks are never caught, or, if caught, they're charged with lesser crimes because the witness didn't want to testify, etc. In my county, I don't think juries believe that folks molest kids. So, unless you look like the hunchback of Notre Dame, you wouldn't get convicted.

The reason why many sex offenders will never be convicted is because

1) The victims are too ashamed to come forward.

2) Children are more likely to be molested by family members and close family friends.

Because I know that children are rarely kidnapped and molested by some stranger in the neighborhood, I don't have much of a fear of that. People need to pay more attention to their strange uncle. For rape, it's not 100% full-proof, but I have a concealed handgun license, pepper spray, a pocket knife, and defensive tactics training. I also try not to put myself in dangerous situations such as jogging in a secluded area at night.
