So I am up early enough, not by my own choice of course, to watch the news.They tell of this 31 yearld old man who molested his girlfriend's 7 year old daughter, and as they are telling me that he is a convicted pedophile, I am thinking what the hell is wrong with our sex offender registry? So I decide to come do a search and see what I can find out about the registry. http://www.mpss.jus.gov.on.ca/english/police_serv/sor/sor.html
It makes me sick that it seems to do more to protect the predator than the potential victims. I don't know what bothers me more...the fact that its not available to the public and we are to be notified according to police discretion if someone is likely to reoffend...give me a fucking break. They are on the list for a reason, last I heard, pedophiles generally don't rehabilitate all that well, they just keep doing it until they are either dead or in jail. Or maybe the part about if their senetence was for less than 10 yrs thats the length they have to be registered for. I also dont care for the fact that if they dont register or dont comply with the rules that its $25 000 FINE - a fucking fine!!!!! - and/or 2 years less a day. I say that if they aren't playing along with the terms, then they are most likely not doing so because they are hurting children. I could go on and on, but I am at the point where my mutterings will start to make less and less sense and have a lot more expletives.......the good thing is that we at least have some way, no matter how many potential problems with it, of keeping track of these awful fuckers.
