Over 300,000 Registered Sex Offenders In The US
 

Since we're on the topic of abductions, whether parents should watch their kids more closely, etc. it should be noted there are currently over 300,000 registered sex offenders in the United State. That's about 1 out of every 100 people.

And keep in mind 85% of sexual offenses against minors go unreported.

One would say that is impossible

fuckers like those all needs to be shot

sex offenders could be many different things. i was drunk one time and i got caught pissing in the back of a parking lot. if i do it again i will be a sex offender. some states you're a sex offender if you do it once.

One of them posts here.

Also if you are 18 and have consensual sex with your 16 year old girlfriend it's considered a sexual offense in many states.

Personally, I think they need to take the true sexual offenders, cut their balls off and never let them leave the prison. Time after time after time I watch or read interviews with repeat offenders to claim they cannot stop themselves from abusing children. Well, then you need to be locked up forever. Period, end of story.

BTW, I can EASILY see where 85% of abuse doesn't get reported. Most abuse is done by trusted adults and they scare the kids into keeping quiet. :(

at GFY or in this thread? Do you refer to someone specifically? I'm quite sure more than one post at GFY

It's a sick statistic, but it's 1 out of every 1000 people, not 100.

300,000 registered sex offenders?! Damn

You're right my error.
