Life As A Registered Sex Offender

...this is a great point in this article:

“The public believes everyone on a sex offender registry is dangerous,” said Fellner. “But what’s the point of requiring registration by a teenager who exposed himself as a high-school prank or even by someone who molested a child 30 years ago?”

More Than 100 Sex Offenders Living Near Jacksonville Neighborhood

...I think this is one of the problems with a public label.  Individuals and the even the media take it upon themselves to play judge/jury.  All of these 'offenders' served their time...why should the public be allowed to punish them more?!?

Sex Offenders & Halloween

...I'll be honest, this whole 'Halloween' issue and sex offenders drives me nuts.  Evidently I'm suppose to leave my lights off and not answer the door during 'trick-or-treat' hours.

Ironically, nobody has ever officially informed me of ANY rules?!?

So...I'll probably go to my sister's and pass out candy with my niece and nephew.  Its just amazing when images are conjured up by the label 'sex offender'...
