Kid Streaks At Football Game, Now Could Be A "Sex Offender"

by Lenore Skenazy (freerangekids.wordpress.com)
Hi Readers: Yes, one of two kids who streaked at his local high school football game could now be required to register as a sex offender. Same list you’d find Jaycee Dugard’s rapist on. But, hey, it’s only for 10 years!
Only 10 years of not being allowed to live near a school or park. Only 10 years of being turned down for most jobs. Only 10 years of being seen by anyone checking the Sex Offender Registry as a guy who regularly goes around exposing  himself to minors.
These registry rules are as ridiculous and inflexible as the rule that would have sent the Cub Scout with the fork/spoon/knife off to two months of reform school for what was clearly a minor offense, if an offense at all. The over-the-top penalty was no doubt cobbled to keep kids “safe.”
They sure are safer now. All hail inflexibility! — Lenore

The Lunsford Files

This is a news segment from MSNBC about Mark Lunsford's son, Joshua, who sexually fondled a 14-year-old girl. He only served 10 days in jail and does not have to register as a sex offender. Also, Mark Lunsford himself downloaded child pornography to his home computer the night before Jessica was horribly raped and murdered (on file with Florida Attorney General). Mark never had to register either. He has stated the registry should only cover real predators, not teens having consensual sex. But wait, Mark only says this about his son, not other teenagers who commit the same crime.

Meanwhile, thousands of non-violent men, women, and children are forced to register (including teenagers who had consensual sex with other teenagers - www.rickyslife.com). The registry is obviously in need of reform.
Corrupted politicians want to scrub these facts, but the truth will be heard...
