I asked a state child abuse investigator in Florida how many false claims they got and without hesitation she said, “At least 50%. They’re due to bad drug deals or feuding neighbors or angry ex-wives or husbands.”
I question the utility and accuracy of any government maintained list. Several years ago I checked the sexual predator map for my county. There were hundreds on it. I read a few and in some cases the “crime” occurred 30 years ago when he was 17 and she was 16. I realized when everybody was finally on the list it was the same as nobody being on the list.
Here in Lenawee County Mi. try being a white male, Disabled Veteran, you are guilty even before they even start grinding you down!

Taught to “look” for signs of abuse, these nosy-nancies go beyond their training while “investigating” and “interviewing” young children. Youngsters who do not know or understand the subtleties of the “training”.
Poor baby. The nerve of those people, demanding due process of law.
So, one must apply and appear before an Administrative Law Judge just to find out if one is on the registry? Obviously the same principles apply to this list as the ones governing NICS registry for firearms purchases. In practical terms, you can’t discover your status on that list either.
