My 16 year old teenage daughter has ran in the house so fast to use the bathroom that she has thrown her backpack on the couch and her cell phone has landed on the floor. It works out for me because I need a phone number from her contacts. To my surprise the first thing I see is a picture of some 15 year olds penis. She tells me it is her best friend’s boyfriend’s picture that he has sent to her best friend who in turn sent it to my all too curious, naive daughter. I wonder if I tell her that if caught prosecuted and convicted she would be the

    We realize that the creation, dissemination, and possession of the nude pictures and the sexting messages were all instigated by the class teacher with whom he had an affair. The teacher knew that she was wrong in her endeavors, including engagement in an affair with a minor. She was also aware of the consequences of sexual exploitation of minors. This case is not one of a felony committed by a minor, but one of sexual exploitation of a minor. The testimonies given by the accused can only be interpreted as such. The young man is innocent and everything about his position is contrary to his wishes. In this case, he is not a sex offender who should face registration as someone else was just taking advantage of…

    Megan's Law

    • 702 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Megan’s Law deals with child molesters and sex offenders by requiring a public registration when they are released from incarceration. The concern with registering sex offenders has progressed to a nationalized level, with the government requiring every state to have some form of law that deals with Megan 's Law (Menendez, 251). However, is this law constitutional? In this position paper the laws of being notified of sex offenders and their registration, and their accordance with the constitution will be evaluated. It is the argument of this essay that making the offenders register and then notifying the surrounding society of their convictions is an added penalty that solely convicted sex offenders deal with and the law needs to be abolished.…

    This is an example of how an ex-felon liberty is limited upon their release from prison. The ex-child molester may not like the idea of having their name put online because they would face an enormous amount of discrimination but such legislation has been declared constitutional since it serves to protect vulnerable civilians (children). Whether or not sex-registry laws need reformation is neither here or there. The main argument is that sex-registry laws have an intrinsic value in aiding the safety of children near an ex-child molester. However, what benefit is there in preventing ex-felons from voting. There is absolutely no correlation in preventing ex-offenders from voting with preventing ex-felons from committing crime. If such legislation did prevent ex-felons from committing crime then there would be some sort of justification. So where does the intrinsic value lie in legislation that prevents ex-felons from…

    This articles has the story of Daniel Ray Winfrey, who was 15 at the time, and his friends raped and murdered Julie and Robin Kerry. He spent 30 years in prison and has been paroled twice after his conviction. Sometimes he feels free but not completely free because his name is still on the sex offender registry. On the other hand, there is Ali Nemec’s fiance, who was arrested at the age of 17 for having child pornography on his computer. Now he is 24 and remains on the list. He finds it very difficult to find employment. Even after sex offenders serve their time in prison, they cannot fully integrate back into the community because their name is on the registry. In the state of Missouri, their names and faces will be on the websites for the rest of their lives, including juveniles. Some say registries are effective because the public needs to know their whereabouts after they serve their time to prevent re-offenses. Others believe they should be given a second chance to become productive citizens. “Critics claim that the registry nets are cast so widely they often catch people who most would agree aren’t sexual threats. One commonly cited example are the so-called “Romeo and Juliet” offenders, who had consensual sex with teenage lovers, sometimes when they themselves were teenagers”(McDermott 22). They say these are foolish mistakes and deserve a second opportunity.…

    The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act is one way to monitor sex offenders however it can’t stop everything on its own. With the help of probation and parole teams, the use of unannounced searches and enforcing a rehabilitation program provides a strong sense of protection of our children. Just because you have a sex offender mandated to register themselves, it is like a band-aide, as the perpetrator is getting no form of prevention treatment. There is a higher chance of re-offending to the same degree or even a higher degree without some type of effective…

    Many states have adopted sexual predator statutes which provide for incarceration, institutionalization, treatment, and registration for individuals convicted of specific sex crimes (Roberson and Wallace, 2008). The need for convicting sexual predators has become a top priority for lawmakers across the nation as society has determined that sexually related offenses are deviant behavior and simply will not be tolerated. Sexually related offenses such as rape, child molestation, and pedophilia are considered to be especially heinous offenses and tend to bring about disgust and rage from within our society. In response to such offenses, lawmakers across the nation, along with the assistance of law enforcement and its citizens, have made life very uncomfortable for sexual predators. Specifically, lawmakers have created new laws which restrict the freedoms of sexual predators and that inflict harsher punishments for those convicted of sex crimes.…

    Due to the technology available today children of all ages have access to the internet. In the 1960’s the internet became a major source of marketing, sales, and distribution of both products and services. Unfortunately many of these services were used by children under the age of 13 years old (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), 2011). Marketers were able to collect personal information from children through chat room and/or discussion board registration to track behavior of web suffers through advertisement and the promise of gifts in exchange for advertisement (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), 2011). These marketers collected this information about children and their families and compiled it into files then sold it to third parties for various commercial purposes (Koby). Also discovered were dangerous list marketing abuses. Investigative reports revealed how easily this list can be purchased and the power that can be exercised over individuals through the use of their personal information. On December 14, 1995 CNN reported that look up services could be used to locate children: “There is no law on the books that prevent a stranger from calling a 900-number and getting information about your children. In fact, until a few weeks ago, a subsidiary of R. Donnelley provided a service that did just that.” A CBS television reporter was able to purchase a list of children’s names using the name of a notorious killer (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), 2011). On May 12, 1996 the San Francisco Examiner reported: “To prove how…

    An adolescent is not allowed to drink, smoke, get married, or sign legal contracts because they aren’t capable of making mature decisions. The Brains of adolescents aren’t fully developed until the age of 25. Teenagers also like to do pointless challenges and last of all teens don’t think of the consequences their actions might have.
