Rev. Faith E. Cobb :
Had these laws been in force years ago, recent victims would not have been
as easily stalked and killed; better track of serial offenders would make
it possible to detect when they are stalking someone with the intent to
violate ; fewer victims and their families may be afraid to testify against
the offenders if the sentences were just. Many victims fear retaliation
from the predators after the predator is released. In the case of the
victimization of one of my children, most of the other victims who surfaced
through the work of law enforcement, were afraid to testify. Shortly after
the predator was released after serving only 10 months of 15 years to life
sentence, one of the siblings of my child who was a victim boarded a bus
and came face to face (unknowingly, at first) with the offender. Many
victims and their families would be relieved to know that where courts fail
to keep serial predators (some who even prey on children in places like
churches) behind bars to serve their time and away from other children, it
would be a comfort to know that the predator (many of whom are violent and
may kill their victims) are tracked. Where tracking may fail at times to
stop a predator, it will however, properly tie them to any crime that they
commit. Our children are our future and they deserve this protection. Many
sexual predators cannot be, while some do not want to be cured (unless they
are castrated).Since castration is not being considered, the items in this
petition, while less severe and much easier on the predators than they (the
offenders) are on their victims, it should suffice and ring loud and clear
that we the people of the United States will do what we can do to protect
our children from sexual predators. Hopefully, in the future, fewer of them
will be released on good behavior (the same criteria that many offenders
feign to gain the confidence of their victims and their families. |

Anyone who is convicted of a sex crime against a child should be turned
over (without repercustion) to the adult family members of the child for a
dose of real justice. It doesn't seem that our laws cannot stop these
crimes. |

As much as I am wholeheartily in agreement with :A law that calls for a
national lifetime exclusion zone for all schools, day care centers, parks,
playgrounds or places where children frequent. This includes children's
websites. No exceptions.
I am also think that the experts in this field should get to the root
causes inorder to prevent further crimes occuring. The saying: "An
ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. The governments if they
are sincere about debt reduction should seriouly ponder this saying t t |

Sex offenders should not be alloweed to plea bargain under any
circumstances. They should serve the fullest terms at all times. Terms
for all sexual offenses, especially of children, need to be lengthend. |

Sharian Johnson :
The reality of it is that while the recidivism rate is 100%- rates for
capture & conviction are significantly lower- Why do you think these
monsters should have even a single chance to re-offend? The only inactive
pedophile is a dead pedophile. Thart is a law I would stand in support of
100%.While I wholeheartedly agree that these legislative proposals are a
great start, the fallout of such crimes in the lives of my family members
is incalculable. This is devastation caused by a heroin addict who has
been molesting for at least 40 years, including his own daughter. It was
extremely difficult to get her removed from his "care" because he
has perfected the art of victimizing without leaving evidence. It is a
whole different world out there folks, and once it has impacted your life
in any manner, you begin to understand that they are beyond rehabilitation.
Even those who willingly submit to "chemical castration" have the
same sick drives and they rape with foreign objects. Perhaps too graphic
for some, but pedophilia thrives on denial. Deal with it thoroughly,
accurately, and completely. Only then will we be able to effectively
protect our youngest & most vulnerable members of society. After all is
said and done it boils down to this choice:whose lives are more important,
theirs orour children's? |

Re-offending sex offender should have ONLY 1 possible sentence LIFE IN
PRISON at least this way kids would be a lot safer. By the way the sex
offender should be put in the prison's general population NO SPECIAL
treatment. |

We need to re-think the prison system which incarcerates people ar LONGER
for drug 'crimes' than for rape & sexual abuse of women &
girls.(Crimes against boys does seem to ussually be taken
seriously).EARLIER inervention with teen offenders and MANDATORY treatment
& MANDATORY MINIMUN 10 years sentences with REAL superivision upon release
for FIRST offense. Life without parole for violent sexual offenders and
child rapists after 2nd offense. But, people ahve to recognize that MEN
THEY KNOW will be MOST offenders, NOT just the 'stranger".The
damage done by these predators is incalcuable---nad it last a lifetime, so,
the sentence should fit the crime. |
