A Boston Tea Party …(Bracelets and Databases)

I have not heard much news today. Has another young girl been abused and killed by a sexual predator? Has anyone checked the Florida news blotters? I wrote about this a few weeks ago how as current parents we have failed our children miserably because we cannot keep them safe.

Maybe people are beginning to get outraged from hearing every night about another abduction. The heat is beginning to hit the nightly news shows as it did Wednesday evening on Scarborough Country. The jist of the discussion was that America needs to do what is ever required to keep its children safe. Two debated ideas are the use of ankle bracelets on first time child molesters and a national database for sexual predators. My thoughts?

It is hard work to be a parent in today’s world. We are allowing children to grow up at a hurried pace. Responsible parents work hard at teaching their children what is right and what is wrong. They tell them of the dangers of drinking, drugs, and cigarettes. Both parents usually are working and are not able to spend as much time with their children as they wish they could to protect them. I would say much of this is due to the large amount of taxes that must be paid but that is for another article. The point is that parents have their hands full raising children.

The last thing we as parents need to worry about or need to have to do each day is check some damn database to see if a sexual predator has moved into our neighborhood. Keep the assholes in jail. Comitt a sexual crime with a child and your in forever. We should build a place where all predators from the entire country spend the rest of their lives. But God help me do not allow them out of jail and to enter back into the community. It is reported that a sexual predator commits 80 abuses before he is caught. So when he finally is arrested, it is on his 81st instance of sexual abuse of a child. Throw the key away. It is our elected officials responsibility to keep our kids safe. Damn them for putting the liberties of the criminal over the safety of a child. Nothing should matter more.

Bracelets and databases are not the answer. I should not have to have the responsibility of monitoring these criminals. Rather than placing responsibility on the criminal justice system we choose instead to place the accountability on the parents. I have heard more than one commentator say parents need to be proactive and know who is moving into their neighborhoods. Kiss my ass. If our elected officials refuse to do WHATEVER is required to keep these men apart from our communities then this country has lost its priorities. These men do not rehabilitate themselves and if you believe they can, well, the lives of dead children are on your shoulders. Enough is enough………..let parents parent and let these criminals burn in hell.
