Is it too much to ask headline writers (yes, I checked: it's on the source) to find the correct spelling of the word they mean to use? As it's written, it means "rule in sex offenders". I believe they wanted "Rein in sex offenders", which would mean to control or restrain them.

A small thing? Not when English is already at risk in this country.

I was blessed with an English teacher for a mother, which cursed me to be constantly irritated by the grammar of others.

I guess so, since it's obviously too much to ask them to find the correct spelling of "forcibly" in the article body...
