[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long story, but I was an observer in a sex offender treatment program. I met and heard the stories of many men some caught by these stings, some not caught but reached out for help.

The men that had been in the program long enough all admitted 100% that they needed to stop. All had attractions to young girls that stemmed from other issues they were fighting.

They were not victims, they themselves were glad to be in a program to try to change. Some had to come back multiple times, but were willing to continue to try to break the pattern.

Men are very unwilling to get help until they are compelled to do so. The stings are not the problem. [/quote]

Studies do not back up your claim. Stings cause problems to taxpayers, increase crime not decrease it, put police in an unethical position, reduce privacy, cause havoc on families involved, and reduce the workforce thus decreasing the economy. The sex stings are the worst because of the registry. You don't even need to be on a registry for murder. Now we have entire towns of sex offenders because of the label they are attached with like in the scarlet letter. And now 80% of these offenders are from fake crimes created by police. Thankfully states are starting to be hurt enough financially because of it that they are finally doing something.[/quote]

Oh, boo hoo! For sure, I'm not worrying about the privacy issues of sex deviants and criminals! And I'm fine with registries for murderers, too.[/quote]

It sounds like you are too emotional about this conversation to have a rational version of it. It is possible to consider public policy issues from a less emotionally reactive place.

Sex offender registries do not work as preventative tools. They are extremely broad and do not always show clearly what a particular offender is on the registry for. There is a pretty meaningful difference between an adult who commits sex crimes of any kind against a little kid and an 18yo senior with a 14yo freshman girlfriend. I am not saying that the second situation is not also problematic, but it is not predatory and scary in the same way. Yet both can end up on the registry. [/quote]

This thread is about the alleged crimes of Eleanor Hunton Hoppe. Please stay on topic or start a new thread registries poster and sting poster and I don't know what narc means posters. If the topic is so disturbing that you are compelled to deflect and derail, scroll on by. [/quote]
