But when it comes to my kids and their safety, I will judge you, and I will watch you, and you are guilty in my book until you are proven innocent or you can prove to me that you are only doing time for check fraud.<br /><br />-Brilliant! I feel the same way. I think I turn into Mr.T. I pity a fool that messes with my children! :)Tashmicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406368940613269732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817782342721234183.post-88808762943112653882010-07-27T01:28:59.661-04:002010-07-27T01:28:59.661-04:00Are we assuming he's a child molester because ...Are we assuming he's a child molester because he has a bracelet and is at the pool? Hey - as long as there aren't tell-tale hammer marks on the thing...<br /><br />This kind of stuff doesn't bother me. Because I will kill anyone who touches my kids. Of course, then *I* will have one of those nifty bracelets. (Because I will get paroled because my murder was a crime of passion which was accentuated by menopause).<br /><br />Martha Stewart wore a bracelet. I'd be in good company.PeNnYhttp://www.ohioart2.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817782342721234183.post-74918961868202882262010-07-12T13:42:48.121-04:002010-07-12T13:42:48.121-04:00As the very protective and proud uncle of two I wo...As the very protective and proud uncle of two I would kill anyone who even looked my neice and nephew funny. I also think we need a better system, not all criminals are created equal. <br /><br />About 12 years ago, a man moved into town and opened a butcher shop - Our little town badly needed that shop, we didn't have a grocery store of any kind at the time. He was immediately busy. 6 months after opening a rumor went around that he was a sex offender and was listed on the website of registered sex offenders. Of course everyone stopped shopping there, and in a matter of months he was closed, lost his house, his car, and his wife.<br /><br />It turns out that he was convicted of statutory rape of a minor. That minor was his wife. Her family had pressed charges, he was sentenced and served time and immediately married. He was a year older than she was. Was he guilty - yes. Of course, by that standard, many of my friends and neighbors could have been charged with the same crime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817782342721234183.post-50995113742618597022010-07-10T21:02:34.907-04:002010-07-10T21:02:34.907-04:00All you did was keep an eye on the guy, so I don&#...All you did was keep an eye on the guy, so I don't see why someone might complain that you "didn't give him the benefit of the doubt". It's not like you went over to him and punched him in the face. <br /><br />At least he stood out with his "radio". It's all the pervs without any "radios" we should be worried about.Mickey Blumentalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315613261443756123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817782342721234183.post-38813669528214141752010-07-09T10:37:43.825-04:002010-07-09T10:37:43.825-04:00When my daughter was still in preschool, the polic...When my daughter was still in preschool, the police notified the entire neighborhood that a convicted child molester was moving in. He'd served 7 years and owned a house on our block. There was nothing we could do about it. At first I was freaked out -- all of us were -- but as the months past I began to realize that he wasn't a threat because we all knew who he was. We were able to point him out to our kids and tell them to stay away from him. It was far more concrete, and therefore less terrifying, than the whole amorphous "stranger danger" thing.<br /><br />I agree with you that there should be some places criminals shouldn't go, but I've also come to realize that guys with electronic tethers are at least identifiable as potential dangers. It's the ones we don't know about that concern me. The ones that hurt children rely on secrecy and shadows -- those are the ones who are the real threat.<br /><br />Thanks for posting this!Teacher Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606781724784785338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817782342721234183.post-28123797516515813382010-07-09T10:14:56.324-04:002010-07-09T10:14:56.324-04:00Good Going...certainly my thought process as well....Good Going...certainly my thought process as well...<br /><br />Happy FF!BellaDaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469029319230742802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817782342721234183.post-81679652813966809872010-07-09T08:10:55.679-04:002010-07-09T08:10:55.679-04:00Amen and Testify.
