While acknowledging it might be "unfair for [Barnaby] to suffer the stigmatization of being labeled a sex offender when his crime was not sexually motivated," the court said his actions are the type that are "often a precursor" to a child being abducted or molested.

Judges like this are sending us further down the toilet. I hope Barnaby hires an attorney and fights this.

When you lump sex offenders into an overly broad category (peeing in public, grabbing a child by the arm, all the way to serial predators who rape and kill children)you make it more difficult to manage the situation.
