I know exactly how messed up the justice system is with the juvenile offenders. When I was 10 years old I was playing "Doctor" with a female friend and her mom caught us. She called the police and I was arrested and charged. I had to sit in juvenile hall for 4 months until I was 11 and old enough to go to the juvenile prison until I was 14. I am 20 now and I'm still forced to register when I move or get jobs and the laws in Nevada are changing and its going to be much stricter.

I know all about how hard it is to deal with life as a sex offender. When I was 10 years old I was playing "doctor" with a friend and her mom happend to walk in and see. She decided to call the police and I was arested and had to sit in jail untill I was 11 then I was old enough for the state of washington to charge me with a sex offence. Now I'm not in any way saying that what I did wasn't wrong but for a state to charge an 11 year old with rape? It was not in any way violent and there was NO force at all. But I went to a juvienile prison and released at age 14. I have to register when I move and as far as I know that is for the rest of my life.
