How can millions of People share info to help Police protect Children from Pedophiles and Sex Offenders?

Question

The Public needs access to websites containing tips and info to train the average person how to pick-up on useful information on activities of Pedophile’s and Sex Exploitation and easy access to a Database to deposit information. Law Enforcement is grossly understaffed to monitor active Pedophiles and Sex Offenders Online and in our Cities. Laws to Protect our Children and put Sex Offenders behind bars must be upgraded and NEW LAWS are required to provide Law Enforcement with the tools to make a huge impact against sophisticated sexual exploitation. The best way to help victims of these crimes is the PUBLIC depositing bits of information on ONLINE DATA BASE’s monitored by Law Enforcement. Websites such as http://www.gdsourcing.com/works/Missing.htm is one of many available to source information on statistics on missing children. A new WEBSITE called World Watch Our Children or similar could be created and structured like Neighborhood Watch and bring abducted kids home and Protect kids that are home. It can be done.

Snitch on your neighbor, win a prize!



No thanks. It's been tried before, it never ends well.

Answer 2

In my opinion I don't believe in sex offender registries. I believe in harsh sentencing. If a person is convicted of molesting children, they should get life. I also believe that sex offender registries violate ex post facto laws in some cases. For example, A man is convicted of sexual battery in 1979 , does his time, gets out and has a law abiding life. Then 25 years later the legislature enacts a law that requires this man to register as a sex offender. Keeps this man from visiting his grand children and makes him move because his house his within 2500 feet of a school.

Of course it's easy to hate a sex offender, but if society gives the government the go ahead to essentially violate that man's constitutional rights, you better believe it wont stop at sex offenders.

Another reason I don't believe in these registries is because it makes the community overreact to an otherwise petty charge like statutory rape. An 18 year old kid gets busted sleeping with his 16 year old girlfriend shouldn't be given a lifetime label like that. Should the kid get in trouble, sure, but he shouldn't be a pariah, and have any shot of having a future flushed down the toilet.

The fact of the matter is, if the punishment fits the crime, then there's no need for these registries. Why should a woman with small children be forced to live next to a convicted child molester? It's great that the government informs the woman so she knows, but why should she have to deal with that?

Why are the prosecutors too lazy to diligently prosecute a person who rapes a child and offers them a plea agreement that would make them eligible for release one day? Why can't the do their job and lock that scumbag up for life? Which would definitely protect society better than a website with his picture on it.

There is money to be made off of these registries, with the specialized parole officers trained to handle these special case loads and the instructors that train them, to the companies providing electronic monitoring or even the companies providing IT solutions that maintain the sex offender websites.

People seem to agree with these registries. Whatever it's their safety and tax dollars.

Answer 3

I am a parent, and I can tell you, when it comes to my kids, or kids in general- their safety comes first. If you KNOW or SUSPECT that there is a child predator lose in your community and you just want to let the authorities know and don't want to make a formal report or get our name dragged into it, I would go to a site like SilentSender.com and send an email to the appropriate authorities. Nothing may come from it- but if are lucky, and there has been some complaints of stranger danger or actual unsolved criminal activity- they may take your tip seriously and follow up on it. The site is pretty simple- enter the email address (local detective, police, FBI, etc), enter your message, hit send. The site does not collect your info or attach your name, email or identity to the message that is sent to the authorities. Nice and simple, and at least you can feel good about doing "something"

Answer 4

Police are given billions of dollars a year for unnecessary laws, and yet don't care when it comes to drug offenders supplying drugs to kids, and murdering kids. And they turn their back on gangs and the harm they do. Law enforcement priorities are twisted.

Answer 5

Another good way in the U.S. is, whatever state you live in just go to yahoo and search in the search bar for example "nebraska registered offenders" (if you live in nebraska that's what you would type) If you suspect someone of committing crimes, having warrants etc another website to give tips on and get information is www.rewards4fugitives.com

Answer 6

In the US and Canada you can view sex offenders through the National Sex Offender Registry!
