One of the things that concern me is that a 18 yr old with a 15 or 16 yr old can have his life ruined by the hysterics.

The article says: The law mandates a 25-year prison sentence for rapists and child molesters and requires sexual predators to be monitored by electronic tracking devices.

The above scenario qualifies. There was a story posted last week about a 19 yr old who got his girlfriend pregnant and served 6 yrs. And now can't find a place to live because of this law. Common sense has to step in soon. Eveytime the hysterics start, the Constitution takes another hit too.

All "sex crimes" can not be lumped together, which is what has happened. The violent and likely to re offend are different that these types of low risk cases. This young kid needs to face the consequences, but not have that cloud over his head for the rest of his life.

In addition, these laws often put men unfairly at risk and women need to start using their brains and take some responsibility in keeping themselves out of danger.

The more we put emphasis on LAWS to protect us, the worse job we often do in protecting ourselves.
