Should we not be putting more funds into prevention? Educating our children? Offering counseling before crimes are committed? With the AWA we will have thousands more registered sex offenders who were children when they commited/convicted of sex crimes which could be something like playing doctor, spin the bottle, truth/dare, consensual teen relations, sexting, etc...the AWA requires juveniles to be on a public registry...it will require states who only put the most dangerous on the public registry (smart thinking) to put all non violent and non dangerous on a public registry which will then overload the officers who monitor. They will have less time to monitor and assess those truly dangerous because the AWA mandates a one shoe size fits all policy. Ricky from www.rickyslife.com was subjected to the AWA and determined high risk not because of case facts but due to the law mandating by offense. How many more cases are similar? Could your child be next? Are you in situations where you could be falsely accused by a spiteful spouse, gf or family member? How many citizens could be on a DUI registry as they are coming...Hawaii is publishing DUI drivers photos ...TX looked at a DUI registry...Colorado has a Domestic violence registry, Pennsylvania looking at a arson registry...what from your past will put you in a registry since the AG ruled it does not violate ex post facto since its ruled civil? Do you know? Education is the key folks read up and learn your facts...email me at my website if you want more info Rickysmom

Once again the real issue with this registry is being completely ignored by those passing laws in a one shoe size fits all mentality. More funds to recruit new Probation officers to monitor offenders will not solve the over all issue which IMO is the fact we have thousands of non violent and non dangerous former offenders being monitored. Example: youths having consensual sex, streakers, mooning, falsely accused, ex post facto cases with no new criminal history...The AWA requires states to register offenders by offense base and not assessment or a judicial determination by case facts which is going to make thousands more "dangerous" who are again no threat. We need to reform the registry and clean it up and as well the over crowded prison system which is costing tax payers billions a year...folks this registry is the catalyst for the end of the constitution as we know it..why? Simple: if we are going to pass laws as "civil" which are ruled not punitive then more laws will fall under this same context and more registries will come for all of us. Educate yourself, know the facs, read the reports and research and realise no law protects children we as parents must protect them and we do this by knowing facts such as 93% of victims know their offender which is usually someone in the home or knows the victim.

wow I do not live in Nevada but this is scary and frightening. There does need to be immediate reform but will politicians care and much less act upon tHIS? oOur (sorry for caps folks I'm blind) health care system across this country is in dire straights and this is just a fine example of the lack of policy.

Lets be clear that consensual sex between teens can make them a lifetime registered offender if the state so chooses to prosecute them as adults. Not all teens are some violent horrible person who did something terrible to a "victim" but are just teens consenting to sex cause lawmakers and media are not educating families and their children on how these laws tangle up usually the boys. In these cases the girls go on to continue to have sex and live a free life unashamed period. One fine example of this is my son Ricky http://www.rickyslife.com he in no way had a victim he and this young lady were just two teens dating and then he told the truth when questioned unaware she was truly only thirteen. So his humiliaton and shame is ok? He did not harm anyone and who protects him from vigilantism? There are hundreds of boys like him just watch ABC 20/20 age of consent from March 14th, 2008 before you judge folks. The registry can no longer be looked at as a tool o fprotecting our young when it clearly has consensual cases on its page who are no threat to anyone. We mut fix these laws and educate our teens and parents of our teens its not all aobut birth control anymore.
