That's really sad, stormi. I was just talking to my brother the other day about how we esentially had a carte blanche when we came home from school. We could, and pretty much did, go anywhere, just as long we were home in time for dinner. We even hung out at some creepy guy's house who invited us in for ice cream...yeah, he probably was a pedophile, but he never "did" anything with us other than talk. I suppose we were lucky. I don't know how restrictive I would be if I had any kids.
One problem with the registries is related to how they define "sexual offender." Here in GA, that includes presently married couples in their 20s with kids who got "together" at a very young age. Their "offense" was having underage sex.
