Take the time to look-around

As some of you know I have three sons. Two are 21 now and this is no longer a concern. The third was 13 yesterday.
With the last one, as with the others, we have always had a secret question.
Even his Mother doesn't know the answer. It is only between him and I.If ever someone approaches him and tells him I'm hurt or need him, they have to have an answer to the secret question. If they don't know the answer, then I didn't send him.
Someone (an older couple) tried taking one of the twins when we were living in Killingly. They boys asked for the answer and she didn't know it. They ran, but weren't old enough to get the license # etc. We were just happy they were safe. God knows where they went next, I pray that the next kid was as lucky.

This sickens me. I had to erase a lengthy post on this thread because I am afriad my views on this matter would offend others and it is way-off topic on why I am here...

Bottom line: Look at this guys record. Why did this happen? BECAUSE WE LET IT! Screw re-hab and political correctness, ENFORCE/FIX THE LAW to fry these guys on the FIRST offense. It is only going to get worse. We need to REMOVE the bad (read illegals/scum/dirtbags/law breakers) element from society, not try and help them to life a better life...REMOVE THEM SO THE DON'T COME BACK.

For all you that dis-agree, let me ask you one simple question: Post re-hab, would you let this guy date your daughter?

There's no doubt that the perp in this case needs to be put to sleep, but perhaps the better solution in this case is to simply place him among the general prison population at the penitentiary.

Most all of those guys have kids on the outside and from what I've heard, pieces of **** like him who prey on children are guaranteed a very unpleasant if somewhat short stay.

End of story. Period.

When the Wife and I were raising our kids we never and I mean NEVER took our eyes off out children. Thank God they've reached adulthood. Recently my daughter moved to a house from an apartment. Her first night there she was broken into and her jewerly box was stolen inches from her head as she slept. What kind of freaks are we living with? How does one reach the point where they think that this is ok behavior? This is becoming an increasingly cruel world.

Here in NY, school districts must be notified if a registered sex offender moves into the area. The schools routinely forward these notifications to the parents.

NY also has a website. You can plug in your zip code and it spits out all registered offenders in your area.

Dad Fisherman
the two sights that you put on the board does not show me or anybody else who these sexual predators are or where they live.
It says that there are 6 level 3 people in our city. Our population is 30,000 that is 1out of 5000 people. Very hard to fine that person. Once again the State has screwed up. Probaly democracts.

In our city the police have them six people on the window of the police station with there names; pictures of them and where they live.

Mr. Hooper how do you know that our interest is only in fishing on this forum ??? Just because this is a fishing forum don't rule out that there could be a sexual predator, a wife beater or a verbal abuser of women on this forum or any other forum.

Mr. Sandman I hope that your finger tips aren't sore from writing, erasing and writing over again You and I in the past haven't seen eye to eye.

I think you are pretty much on the money with this post.
Don't worry about offending anybody. speak your piece of mind.
it is better to be pissed off then pissed on
I like a person that calls a spade a spade.

Have a good nite !!!!

"We probably all agree that this site is a sort of "community of commonality"; we're here because we love to fish, "

Just want to make clear what I wrote. I am painfully aware that any user logged onto the internet could be whatever, a child molester, a wife beater, drug adicts, or a brain surgeon, a fighter pilot, a politician, a home builder,...you name it....

But, I don't see that someone cruising cyberspace in search of doing evil will spend much time on this fine site!

My point was simply, "birds of a feather will flock together", that's all. I would never turn the computer over to a child and say "As long as you look at fishing, boating or sports sites you'll be fine" because that is absolutely not true.

We have a sex offender register here in CT too. But, the last time I heard, they were missing about 50% of the animals that were let out of prison. There doesn't seem to be an avenue to MAKE them register. The law as I understand it has no teeth.

Hey Hooper !!!
You are right on that !!!
