Reply #6: I'm okay with it

I don't have any soft spots for sex offenders, but the number of true predators isn't high - most are family members and know the victim. We've created an environment where they can't live anywhere, and sometimes it's for kids who were 18 when they slept with their 15-year-old girlfrind.

Now when I read letters to Dear Abby (yes, I read it sometimes) that complain about weddings that say children are not allowed, I wonder if it's really just the couple, or if there's someone in the wedding party or invite list that could be arrested if found withing a certain range of a child.

If you have a true predator, they should be locked up. Most offenders, though, are limited in scope and time, and this accomplishes nothing. I know the religious right wouldn't agree, but I don't give a damn. They can suck on it. This article makes it sound like it's outrageous, but I have to say I think it's the right thing to do.
