Why Do Liberals Hate Jessicas Law?

I don't think this a liberal vs conservative issue. I am going to have to do some research on this to see why govenors would not support this law.

Freedom, yes I can see that this law is reactionary, but if it were to keep repeat offenders off the street, then eventualy it will start protecting the children.

Does anyone complain when they make laws to keep killers off the street? So why they complaining now? Sexual offenders are criminals and should be treated as such. In other words, deprived of the freedoms that LAW abiding citizens get.

Freedom love - While I appreciate your sentiments I contend that you're wrong. Jessic'a law would certainly have sved the children who were attacked by the indivicuals Smitty cited. How can you contend otherwise? Quite frankly, a society that doesn't protect it's own children is doomed.

By the way, I don't contend that this is necessarily a liberal vs conservative issue although in general the most pedophile friendly states appear also to be the most liberal. I question all situations where the criminal receives more consideration than the criminal. Rights must be jealously guarded until a person is convicted, but once convicted the book should be thrown at anyone who hurts a child.

Tell me exactly how Jessica's Law could prevent any attacks? How does it really keep our children safe?

I stated my case, so how am I wrong?

Fact of the matter folks,,,,,,,,ya gotta do everything humanely possible to keep an eye on your children etc. You can't leave them alone with adults during sporting events (Ya gotta be there with them).

Instead of allowing a coach to pick your child up in a van with the rest of the team-group, you as the parent need to personally drive your children to their sporting events. To greatly decrease child molestation and children coming in contact with pedophiles....parents need to stop being so TRUSTING and laid back!

Also, parents need to teach their kids not to be trusting and gullible towards adults period. As well as teach their children how to respect their bodies and what is in appropriate touch, language and behavior from adults out side their home.

For the parents who have young teenage daughters, ya can't let them go to the mall and other public settings by themselves! their is safety in numbers---groups of three or more.

Excellent Post Rasta. Reactionary Laws do little but give us a false sense of security. Parents need to be vigilante, and even so, it is a sad fact that many children will still be sexually abused. Most will, in fact, know their abusers.

Most are related to their abusers.

Shouldn't there be a list of people who have killed people? Say people convicted of homicide by driving dangerously or by driving drunk.

Shouldn't the kids who were driving recklessly as teenagers be required to register as a killer for the rest of their life. Clearly that indicates they are dangerous and shouldn't be allowed to live and drive near other people. Shouldn't they be prohibited from driving near people?

After all, a teens convicted of sleeping with a classmate are considered sex offenders.
