It is unfortunate the term 'Sex Offender' is not really apt to describe what should be a Sex Offender and alert a community. I.e. a rapist, the weirdo adult that tries to pick up kids, NOT some guy charged as a Sex Offender because when he was young and stupid he/she did something dumb with an under aged person because when your young often times you do not think of consequences and you are experiencing and coming to understand the natural drives of sexuality. Or a wife who charges her husband with rape or visa versus. Or 2 high school kids dating then one of them turns 18. It really is distracting that these Sex Offender Registries have turned into such absurd witch hunt driven concerns with levels of 'Sex Offender' so that anyone could easily end up on them. And that makes them really useless as to what they should be for. Protecting kids from adults, and women, well anyone, from rapist. Also one would think that the people on these list would, since there are now probably thousands of them classified as sex offender of some level ought to file a class action lawsuit as regards to that but also why are they as 'law breakers' are singled out. Why not have viewable online Registration list for DUI offenders, Burglary offenders, drug bust offenders, speeding tickets, whatever. After all it's all public records and communities need to know WHO are such offenders, right? But if they ever did form a class action lawsuit what they really should do is target the very people who put together these aspects of what a Sex Offender is for likely making their lives a living hell and insulting common sense!
