Sex Offenders' Employment to Become Public Save Email Print

You can already find out where they live, now the government is about to share even more information about sex offenders.

They bag your groceries, sell and service your vehicle, even prepare your food. Chances are you've run into a sex offender while he or she was on the job, and didn't even know it.

Come January, that could all change, as nationwide, states list employment locations on sex offender websites.

"It will be new information to the public. It won't be anything new to us because we already collect this information anyway," said Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Eddie Carmon.

Until now, states just didn't publish it; unlike an offender's address and picture which are already available.

Troopers say its just more information to help you make wise choices about yourself, and your kids.

"Thats the best thing that can come from this, is self protection because the police can't protect you at all times," said Carmon.

"I've got my little girl, so that's definitely something I'd definitely want to know," said parent Richard Pitzer. "I think that's a good thing. If they're gonna be allowed out in the public they should definitely have to say where they live, where they work, everything."

The website won't just be handy for parents, co-workers could use it too.

"Definitely I would," said Brenda Williamson. "I wouldn't want to work with them. That may be not right, but they did wasn't right either."

However, not everybone thinks disclosing that much information about a sex offender is a good idea.

"Entitled to their privacy no matter who it is," said Michelle Manriquez. "Everybody deserves a second chance. Doesn't matter if you're a murderer, everybody deserves a second chance."

Not only will you be able to see where a convicted sex offender works, but the new law mandates that state websites provide information on an offender's convictions in other states.

Has anyone heard of Madisonville? Did you know there, a sex offender can actually move to another location, and use the address they was paroled out to as their home address when they report. I forget Madisonville is exempt from all laws.

whatever happened to the idea of paying your debt to society? If you give convicted people release dates, don't cry when they get out. You idiots are making the situation worse by making transition back into society IMPOSSIBLE for these people. You will surely reap what you sow.

For those that want to lock everyone up and know everything about them let me ask you to invision this. You have a college age son and he goes to a party and meets a "girl" and they do what college kids do. He ends up not calling her again and she gets upset and than informs him that she was only 16 or she cries rape and calls the police. Your son is now among us now. He has to register as a sex offender FOREVER. Do you now care that the laws are so skewed? Was your kid a great kid before this happened? Now fast forward 15 years, he did his probation, has not reoffended, been a good citizen maybe even has a wife and kids, wouldnt you want to see him off the registry? Is your son really a threat to society or is he just being unnecessarily punished for being an idiot 15 yrs prior? It only takes something hitting close to home before you see the othersides POV. And you can say "well I raised my kids better than that," but when they are away they do dumb stuff. Perspective.

12 Year Old Corners Judge Printed with permission My 12yo daughter and I were at the grocery store tonight. A judge who is up for re-election was there. She asked him about SOs. He was so nervous talking to her. I swear to you, he was straightening the items on the shelf, he even turned his back to her a couple of times. Sometimes the truth hurts. You all would have been so proud of her. I'm going to paste her follow up letter at the end of this post. I don't know if the graphics will come over. We'll see. I didn't want her printing out the 20-80 page reports and paying all that postage. I let her print the important 1 or 2 pages from these reports that deal with recidivism which, the judge told her is why the registries are necessary.

To D - 90 to 95% of all new sex crimes are committed by people that ARE NOT currently on the registry, did you know that? And the reoffend rate is lower than murders, burgalars and other felonies as well. Also, the state, unless they have to becaus ethey served the full sentence, is reluctant to release sex offenders early from prison and the people who get probation are getting probation for a reason. The DA's and Judges take the time to look at each case and decide who gets that. Probation and Def Adj is given to those who the courts feel are "savable." I am all for full punishment, but than dont add new punishment after the sentence has been handed out. You dont get to keep tacking on new laws to thos ealready prosecuted. You want to make those laws for teh new people who committ offenses I have no issues with that. Those are the rules everyone knows them if you are dumb enough to committ a crime you get what you deserve, but otherwise ex posto facto applies like it or not.
Posted by: Bruce Location: Dallas on Sep 29, 2008 at 10:54 PM
to Liar Liar - I never went to prison. Because of the circumstances involved the DA didnt feel prison was appropriate so I did indeed get a phone call from her at my house and she did indeed say those things. See you like everyone else seem to assume so many things. You think every sex offender grabbed some 9 year old off the swing set, well that is far from the case. Oh and I never once denied what happened either. In fact I went to her parents and confessed and I went to the police and told exactly what happened and I told the judge exactly what happened oh and I told the SO therapist exactly what happened from DAY ONE of counseling, so dont you dare lump me in with people who have committed multiple acts and never once confessed a thing. You dont know me. And how they ever let you near prisoners to "help them" is beyond belief. Good counseling and recognizing right from wrong worked for me. People like you will never understand I only hope that this never hits home to you, maybe than
Posted by: D Location: CS on Sep 29, 2008 at 04:38 PM
these are basically good people who just made a mistake? I believe that we should redefine exactly what constitutes a sex crime, and afterwards, anyone who violates a statute should be subject to the full punishment of the law. I guess some folks have their feelings hurt because they feel they are getting more punishment than they deserved. Not so. Knowing where these individuals live does the community at large a huge service. Somebody check the recidivism rate for sex crimes, and get back to me.

I AGREE WITH YOU "THE DOC" SAME THING HAPPENED TO SOMEONE I KNOW AND HE TALKED TO THIS GIRL AND EVEN MET THE GIRLS PARENTS, THEN WHEN ONE OF HIS FRIENDS SAW THEM TOGETHER AND SHE TOLD HIM THE GIRLS REAL AGE THEN HE BROKE IT OFF IMMEDIATELY, THEN OF COURSE SHE GOT UPSET AND THEN REPORTED HIM, NOW HE IS A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER NOW, AND ON PROBATION FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS. THIS WAS NOT HIS FAULT, THIS WAS HER FAULT, AND JUST BECAUSE SHE LIED TO HIM ABOUT HER AGE NOT ONLY HE IS A SEX OFFENDER, NOW IT HAS TO BE PUBLIC ON WHERE HE WORKS..THIS IS NOT RIGHT. I DO THINK THAT IF THEY ARE REPEATED SEX OFFENDERS AND ARE A THREAT, THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE THIS PUT ON THEM BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY DON'T CARE IF THEY KEEP REPEATING IT, BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE ACCORDING TO EACH PERSON AND THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES ON HOW THEY WERE LIED TO AND BECAME AN OFFENDER IN THE FIRST PLACE
Posted by: theDoctor Location: Bryan on Sep 29, 2008 at 12:11 PM
I would have to agree with what some have posted concerning this issue, in that a good percentage of sex offenders are people who have had sex with someone underage, public urination, or some offense that has nothing to do with a small child. I would hope that these people are not being discriminated against because most of them never repeat their offensive. I too had a friend who was lie to by a young lady he met in a bar that she should not have been in in the first place and when he found out her real age he broke it off and she got mad and reported him. Now he is a register sex offender. I feel this is not right. She is the one who should not have been in a bar for adults in the first place, she is the one who lied about her age. What is a guy suppose to do? Demand proof of birth before he goes out with someone they meet in a bar???

When we start calling crimes mistakes? I do think we should be worried about where these poor animals are going to live and where they will work. Lets lock their sorry butts in the prisons and keep them there, they can work for the state. They knew the laws, they broke the laws, they distroyed lives, now they want a second chance. Forget it... I will be checking the web for their places of employment and I will not use these companys again. If the employers have enough money that they can give a rapest or child molester a job... they don't need my money.

Bruce, you are full of it. There is no way your "victim" called you while you were in "the system". Incoming calls to inmates are not accepted in the Texas prison system. You have lived the lie for so long you are starting to believe it. I counseled sex offenders, like you, for many years in state prisons. You are sicko perverts and just like you most refuse to man up and tell the truth. One was a school bus driver. His excuse for improperly touching a little girl was " A car pulled out in front of me. When I slammed on the breaks to avoid an accident she flew forward and landed in my lap". Another raped a young girl the day of her college graduation. Another flashed old ladies. Perverts! Bruce, you are the type of animal that prisons were designed for. You are a threat to every person you come in contact with and you deserve anything and everything that happens to you. I have no sympathy whatsoever for a criminal, like you, that intentionally and knowingly preys on the innocent.
Posted by: Bruce Location: Dallas on Sep 28, 2008 at 11:23 PM
To Steve - I have no problem dealing with the punishment that was given to me for my crime. The DA gave me a deal because he knew the entire situation and the judge signed it and I agreed to it. Everybody got what they wanted. I got the help I needed in order to see my mistakes, I got the supervision to insure that I did not reoffend and the family got what they wanted even though their daughter asked them not to do anything. And according to the law in 1995 I should no longer be on the registry. But politics took that away from me. How would you feel Steve if they changed the law about something you did long ago and said "oh we are going to further punish you for what you did" with no hope of readjudicating the matter because its not fair? And by the way after I went into the system my "victim" called me and apologized for what was happening to me and said she was just as much to blame. So not every one of these crimes has a text book victim.

how is society protected by making it virtually impossible for people to obtain employment and housing? it seems to me it would be better for everyone if law enforcement knew exactly where to find them. that would make them less likely to recidivate.also i believe that once someone has completed their punishment, all of their personal info should be deleted from the public sites. i mean really, if we're just going to ostrasize them for life, why do we bother with the expense of parole, probation, therapy and all of the other programs designed to reintroduce criminals into society. once someone has paid their debt, they shouldn't have to continue paying
Posted by: Steve Location: Ft. Worth on Sep 28, 2008 at 09:11 AM
Bruce there is a very simple solution to your predicament. FOLLOW THE LAW! If you had done that you would not have to worry about the public finding out about your crime and your place of employment. We all know certain acts are against the law. We all know there are consequences for breaking the law. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, learn from your mistakes and be thankful you are not in prison because that is exactly where you belong.
Posted by: Bruce Location: Dallas on Sep 27, 2008 at 11:49 PM
This is to Anonymous - Those of us that are sex offenders, and yes I am one of them, want those people that rape and abuse children to be punished. There is no justifiable excuse in your example of raping a newborn to give them a second chance. Those are the sick people we need to focus on. Those are the ones with serious problems. This is for CS - the 150 is a total scare number and for the 1% of sex offenders. I committed one offense and got caught. No offenses before or since than and I have the passed polygraphs to prove it. So you are part of the problem - you lump everyone in together without knowing or bothering to know all the details of the crime. Funny the DA and judge took the time to know those types of facts that is why I got 5 yrs def adj. It was when the politicians who lumped everyone together messed the system up. They didnt bother looking at the details. Politicians are like house painters - they all use a broad brush. The attention though is in the details.

To those who plan to write letters to the employers of sex offenders and try to get them fired.....you do realize who gets to pay to support them when they can't find work? ALL OF US. Let them work and be productive members of society. They are much more likely to stay out of trouble. Plus, we won't have to pay for their welfare.

Posted by: Caring Person! Location: Bryan on Sep 27, 2008 at 01:05 PM
I can almost bet that 80% percent of the people on here making comments, have come in contact with a sex offender, and did not even know it. Chances are they know the person really good and never dreamed of that person being a sex offender. Because the person was a hard worker, nice, fun to be around, stayed to themselves, honest, polite, would do anything for anyone, give them the shirt off their backs, stayed out of trouble, loaned or gave them money, changed a flat tire for them. Look around, these kind of people are all around you! They can live a good, productive life, if you judgemental people would leave them alone. Let them work and support their families. They served their time. They paid the price for the crime. Only God has the right to judge, not you. And you will be judged on judgement day. Your low life people that steal, do drugs, murder, drink and drive, and those kinds of crimes do not deserve a second chance in my eyes. But God will judge them too. God Bless You All!

To Chrissy in Calwell, since you "believe all and everything about them should be made public", then maybe you are right. But let's tell everything including the actual circumstances of their offense. Currently it says the exact same thing if a man violently, forcefully raped a teenager as it does if he dated her for a year and they had willing sex that she did not want prosecuted. It won't tell us that he has been married to his "victim" for ten years now. If you live in Caldwell you know this is true. Not everyone on the registry deserves to be there but if we are going to put them there, then by golly, let's give all the facts. Knowing their shoe size does me no good but knowing they had a consensual relationship as opposed to a forced act of violence would make a difference. Yes, let's give all the facts if we are going to list them all no matter what the circumstances.
Posted by: ms Location: cs on Sep 26, 2008 at 10:56 PM
The problem with statistics concerning recidivism and sexual offenders is that, more than any other crime, most victims will NEVER report the offense. It's frustrating, yes, but you must keep in mind that children who have been sexually victimized have more than likely been abused by someone they love and trusted - a parent, another family member, a close family friend. While working in the field of victim services, I learned through the Texas AG's office that by the time a typical child sexual offender is caught, he/she has abused on average 150 victims. Registered sex offenders represent only a small portion of the actual sex offenders living in our communities. Research has shown the majority of individuals who abuse sexually will not end up in the criminal justice system. You owe it to your children to protect them from everyone who might cause them harm - not just those on the registry.

what people need to realize is that not all sex offenders are dangerous people,they are young men who have had consenual sex.if it was for the dangerous then it would make sense,but all this is doing is hurting the people that are trying to get on with lives.why is not every offender who ever committed a crime not be put on some kind of register,then we could all know that while we were waiting in line at the grocery store that the person behind us was a ax murderer,or a drunk driver that had already kill someone.People need to wake up and see that this dosen't help anybody,
Posted by: Natalie Location: Coppell, Texas on Sep 26, 2008 at 07:50 PM
These people should never have been let out of jail to begin with. The penalty for sex offenses should be death.

It does not take much intelligence to see what is happening. One area says NIMBY so the next area says NIMBY and so on and so on. The fact that residency restrictions cause former offenders to go underground, become transient and homeless does not seem to cause concern. The fact that Sex Offender treatment Professionals stress the importance of a home, job, support system, and community involvement along with treatment and we are doing the exact opposite does not seem to cause concern. If 10 professionals told you that you needed chemotherapy to treat your cancer, but your neighbor said not to have it, who are YOU going to listen to? The fact that 90% of new child molestations are committed by first time offenders and 90% of those are family members and close trusted associates seems to cause no concern. The fact that there are identifiable factors that increase the risk that a former offender will re offend, takes no notice from John Q. Public. The fact that HUGE amounts of your tax dollars ( more than child education and health care) are being spent to monitor and regulate over 600,000 people, approximately 90% of who will NEVER re-offend, does not seem to raise the ire of taxpayers or parents who have children in underfunded schools or have no health care. Our legislators are passing these laws because YOU the public have been misinformed, and are demanding things that "seem" to make sense, but in actuality are the opposite of what we should be doing. Experience of those who have passed such laws and regret it because of the hardship it places on Law Enforcement and Probation officers, and the small area of the communities where the offenders CAN live SHOW us that these laws don't work. Research from States and other Professionals show us that where an offender lives has no bearing on his committing another crime, but it DOES quite likely mean he will go AWAY from the area he lives in order not to be easily recognized.

Women, as fresh/sophs did you not look at the SR boys and wish they were your guy? Men, as a JR or SR how many of you dated fresh/soph girls? How many of you married your HS sweetheart? So unless you both have the same bday one of you was 17 when the other was 16. This could have easily been YOU! In many of these teenage cases the reason the boy got in trouble is because either 1) parents didnt like the boy, 2) the parents wanted to punish their daughter for being a "bad girl." or 3) the girl is covering up for her own mistake and got caught and the only way out of trouble was to pass the blame on. It's easy to take the side that says throw the book at the bad guy, lock them up and throw away the key. Not everyone on this list falls into that group. Maybe 20-30% are the extremely dangerous ones. Let's encourage our govts and police to focus on those people. That is how we can all feel safer. But we also have to be good parents as well. If you have teenagers talk to them about this.
Posted by: BillJ Location: USA on Sep 26, 2008 at 12:24 PM
To all of you who think that individual who made a mistake against a child years ago and paid of their crime are dangerous, I am sorry to disapoint you. You need to be better educated. The statistics show that 95% of sex offenders (we are not talking about mooners or urinating on a tree) 95% of real sex offender (including those who touched a child) don't re-offend! This is a fact that comes from the Federal governemnt. They put out the study and the politician's keep saying Sex Offender will re-offend. This is NOT the truth. The Media and Lawmakers will tell you differently, but the media sells "sensationalism" and the Lawmakers "want a vote". Sorry people, but even those you call pedophiles are not a threaten to your or your children's existence. You may choose to be prejudice. You may choose to turn a blind eye and ear. But the FACT still remains that the majority of those who are on the sex offender registry will never hurt your family.

I want to see ALL convicted felons on a registry. The guy next door to you might have done time in the pen for armed robbery or murder and you have every right in the world to have this information readily available at your computer. The state DPS already has this information and they need to allow you access to it. The neat thing about requiring them to register is it another thing you can send them back to prison for if they fail to comply.
Posted by: Sharon Location: Fort Worth on Sep 26, 2008 at 12:08 PM
The registry doesn't really tell you anything about their situations. These guys are already being monitored by their PO's and their bosses. They deserve to be able to work and support their families, just like anyone else. Public hysteria over the whole issue of sex offenders is only hiding the truth about sexual abuse of children, that most of it is committed by someone the child already knows and not by some stranger on the street - or behind the counter.
Posted by: Jason Location: Bryan on Sep 26, 2008 at 10:36 AM
Registered sex offenders have been convicted by a court of law and, in my opinion, do not deserve a second chance,not in my neighborhood, not in my kids schools and not where my kids frequent. I will not do business with any company who employees these people, they gave up all their rights when they decided to act in a way that the majority of our citizens deem improper.
Posted by: To Randy on Sep 26, 2008 at 09:56 AM
"cfc-"public urination (alongside the road), mooning, streaking." are not offenses that get you on the registry. Read the law before you open your mouth and prove you are an idiot." It depends on the mood of the DA and/or who you do it in front of. About 15 years ago, I served on a jury where the sole charge was "indecency with a child". It seems a hung over college student, upon hearing a car alarm, got up one Saturday morning and opened his living room blinds without considering the fact that he was naked at the time. His across the breezeway neighbor, watching cartoons with her daughter, got a good view, and photographed him staring out the window, making sure that the alarm wasn't on his car. She then pressed the DA to pursue the max, which he did. And the Judge INSTRUCTED us that his behavior DID meet the criteria for the offense, UNLESS we could believe that he did not know children lived in the complex. Which unfortunately, we did not, although we did give him probation.

Eventually ALL of us will be on some type of registry! The registry would be a helpful tool if it reflected "violent" offenders that we SHOULD be aware of. Actually the list reflects those who urinate in public, moon, caught being promiscuous as a teenager!! OMG why do we need to know where they work??
Posted by: Dianna Location: Arlington on Sep 25, 2008 at 09:57 PM
If "sex offender laws" Really Applied to Only Danderous pedophiles, then yes, knowing more about them would be a means of protecting society from sick, harmful people. But, since laws Are Convicting teens for having consenual sex with younger teens, or young men for having sex with underage females (Not Merely Girls, but "underage Females"), then no, this is Not a good law! The sex offender laws that convict and label harmless men as sex offenders, for consensual sex (with females that "preyed" upon the males, and not the other way around!), or based on "he said/she said" evidence, which is the Only evidence required in Texas to be convicted, are not only taking decent, tax paying American citizens out of society (by incareration and/or restrictions in 'the free world'), but they are making it harder for the real pedophiles to be "seen," in society! Let's hope and pray Real Pedophiles Will be "Monitored," and not just "sex offenders"!!!

Roger, Lets not forget all those tree hugging, environmentalist wacko, liberals that have set fire to SUV dealerships. A firefighter lost his life fighting such a fire in California. To everyone else, people in Texas that urinate in public are not required to register as sex offenders. Urinating is not a sexual act and the law recognizes this. The charge for urinating in public is disorderly conduct. It is a class "C" misdemeanor, just as a traffic citation. The same goes for "mooning" and "streaking" unless the intent was to cause sexual gratification of others. Consensual sex between a teenage boy and a teenage girl only becomes a legal issue when there is a two year age difference between the teens. Registered sex offenders are dangerous people that are very likely to commit crimes again in the future. All are not pedophiles, but many are rapists. I want to know who is hiring these people. I am not going to patronize a business that employs them.
Posted by: Barney Location: Bryan on Sep 25, 2008 at 07:54 PM
I agree with a few of these comments. BUT, For the offenders that DID commit forced crimes or crimes against young children and yes even the 20 yr old that thinks it's cool to date a 16 yr old. ALL INFORMATION should be posted about them. I have a 2 yr old daughter and if someone would do something to her, the only trial that would take place would be a murder trial against me. ANYONE who would mess with an innocent child in that way is a sick and twisted individual and doesn't deserve to breathe, much less have any rights to privacy. Because they have destroyed any chance of a normal life that child would have had. THIS IS MY OPINION. LIKE IT OR NOT I DONT CARE.
Posted by: Bruce Location: Dallas on Sep 25, 2008 at 07:32 PM
What is more vital to know? Who can really cause you more damage to your everyday life? The drunk driver or the sex offender? Drunk drivers KILL people everyday. I would much rather know where they are than where a RSO lives or works. For those of you that think this is a great idea I feel that you are misguided. RSO's have the LOWEST reoffense rate of any felony group. Murderers and burglary/robbery are much higher. Drunk drivers, please its much higher. Those are the people I am worried about. Sex offenses happen predominatley by people that know you already. Family, friends, pastors and teachers. People who are NOT on the list already. What will you do about those people? How will you know who to be alert for? Most of us with 2nd chances already have paid our debt just like the murderer and the lifelong BandE guy. Our existence wont whip out a family of 4 on a Friday night either. Some of us were just dumb one night long ago. Energy like this should be focused elsewhere where needed.
Posted by: Bruce Location: Dallas on Sep 25, 2008 at 07:20 PM
If one is already a reg sex offender than it is safe to assume that they are NOT working in a job that has anything to do with children. They are not going to be daycare workers or teachers or bus drivers. Who cares if they are an accountant or a mechanic or a computer repairman? Lets use common sense. All this does is cause panic among the uneducated and I dont mean intelligence I mean about the offenses. You feel better about knwoing where we live, fine, I get that. Dont send your kid to my house to borrow sugar or trick or treat. But when it comes to me picking my life up and doing as I am supposed to do leave it alone. Many of us are productive, law abiding citizens that learned from our stupidity. We have made something of our second chances and have families and children of our own now. Do you want us to lose our jobs? Would that make you feel safer having depressed and angry people out and about? What would you want if it was your son who was dumb that one night?

I AGREE with Tim Posted on Sep 25, 2008 at 02:55 PM "NOT ALL PEOPLE ON THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY ARE ON IT BECAUSE THEY SEXUALY ASSAULTED A MINOR OR CHILD".
Posted by: Concerned & Terrified Location: Bryan on Sep 25, 2008 at 06:58 PM
EI am concerned for the poor souls that have been convicted of their sex crimes, paid their dues, and have been productive members of society with no further offences who are going to be discriminated against at their places of employement many of which will terminate such offenders even though they have been very productive, honest, hard working, commited members of th ework force. Most of these people have families that will be basically put out on the street and no where to go because they will not be able to get another job any where. I am terrified to see what this will do to our neighborhoods, our cities, our un-justice system and our own families. It seams like the murders,& drug dealers, are all given a second chance but what about the sex offenders that have not done anything since their first offense who have paid their dues and have registered on the list and done all that they were told to do, why not give them a second? Everybody needs a second chance, nobody is perfect.

Considering most sexually offended children are from family members, neighbors, or anyone close the family, it is part of the responsiblity of the parent to protect their children.. we are all aware in this day and age that sexual offenders are among us, be more aware and watchful of those around our children!! The laws need to focus on keeping them safe at school, which I feel they do, but for you parents that drop your kids off at the mall and go run errands, what's wrong with YOU anyway??

Please, uf you think this is ok, go check out www.rickyslife.com . Would you like your son on this list? www.ethicaltreatment.org is also an eye opener. Do you know the age of consent in your community? Planned parenthood gives birth control to 12year olds in OK. Without parental consent. At what age is your child able to get the pill and most importantly would they tell you? You could be charged if you let your child's boyfriend spend the night and end up on this registry too. Check this out for yourself. Don't just take my word. Educate All Youth.(And parents too).

I know of not one sex offender (and I know many) that was violent, raped anyone or molested a child. I do not believe this is a good move and to even bring it up in the media is not very intelligent. It brings concern to those who do not know any better. I used to think all sex offenders were pedophiles, I've finally learned the truth and I find it repulsive that the media did NOT tell me the truth. Sex offenders (most of them, I'm not supportive of violent ones) are people who have paid their debt to the state, did their time and need a good job and a good place to live so they do NOT feel alienated - I'm talking about consensual teen sex people, people who chatted their way onto the list (hundreds of those), mooners, streakers - they don't deserve to have their job listed, now if the employers find out (or the public does something stupid), they may fire or not even hire these non-violent guys and gals. Shame on the media for not telling us the real truth we need to learn.

A man opened fire with a shotgun in a Georgia church during services one Sunday a while back, reportedly because they were too Liberal and he was a Conservative who wanted to kill all the Liberals. I will leave it to the Georgia authorities to determine whether or not he was legally mentally ill. If sex ofenders places of employment are listed anyone who wishes to take justice into their own hands can track them down and come in shooting. For those of us who care about someone who has a job having them caught in the cross fire between someone with a handgun and the shooter trying to kill sex ofenders at work is a nightmare. If people could be guaranteed not to open fire in churches or schools or post offices or colleges in West Virginia or where ever then listing sex ofenders places of employment might not be so dangerous. There will always be someone however who thinks they are so justified that it is OK for them to make everyone do what they want and punish nonconforming people.

Texas is wasting too many resources monitoring over 54,000 offenders. Those who are actually dangerous should be the focus of our resources. Too many of those on the registry are not dangerous and did not committ a forced offense or an offense against a young child. Our lawmakers have missed the mark on this issue because they wanted to sound tough. If they really want to protect our children the laws should focus on those who are a threat to children or those who commit violent, forced acts. There are too many like the one DJ mentioned who should not be on the registry.

First of all- sex offenders are not all pedophiles. An angry ex woman with an axe to grind can call rape so can a parent who doesnt approve of their 16 yr old date someone who is 20. Businesses run background checks and its hard enough for these idiots to get a job as is. I think this will only cause panic and is not necessary. Do I think a pedophile should drive a school bus? NO! But the schools wouldnt hire someone with that on their record. Now if the 40 yr old guy changing my oil is a creep I honestly don't care. The fact of the matter is they are out there. You have to be diligent. They don't post the addresses and work place of people with a history of non sexual assault and theft but its not going to keep me from going out in public.

For the first time I have to agree with many of the comments here! Stuart, guess what? They are not going to list the business owners, lawyers, or any other offenders that line their pockets to keep it out the news in the first place. They want us to think all criminals come from poor ghetto home life. For all you people who keep walking around in the dark thinking you know what crimanal look like I would advised you to think again!

Unfortunately, current laws are keeping NO ONE sfae. By grouping all labeled "sex offender" under the same umbrella, tax dollars and law enforcement resourses are wasted by monitoring many who pose no threat. Rendering "sex offenders" unemployed is a dangerous "feel good" concept and does not enhance public safety.
Posted by: Randy Location: Bryan on Sep 25, 2008 at 02:58 PM
cfc-"public urination (alongside the road), mooning, streaking." are not offenses that get you on the registry. Read the law before you open your mouth and prove you are an idiot. If you read the website it tells you how old the victim was, the age of the offender and the offense. A person with half a brain can figure out what happened.
Posted by: LaborWorker on Sep 25, 2008 at 02:57 PM
Maybe you should look at the cost all this "Wanting to know where the Sex Offenders Live, Work and Play". American is not concerned about our childrens safety. These laws are not keeping my child safe at all! American's want to Push and Hit and Scream and Blame! America has become the Worlds Un-Humanitarian Nighmare. Look at all of you. You don't give a darn about children. You just love the scandle of it all. America - Human Right Violator. Welome to communism people. This is what it feels like not to care about the human race. People make mistakes. Oh yeah. One more thing. Sex Offenses are the lowest of all crimes. The offenses created today are by NEW people. If your smart enough, you will look at the statistics and figure out that the same offenders you want to oppress are not commiting any new crimes. Guess that blows your theory that they ALL NEED TO BE WATCHED, doesn't it!!
Posted by: Tim on Sep 25, 2008 at 02:55 PM
Ok lets put yellow stars on them. Lets keep driving them underground so they will be at more risk to re-offend. Some of you have missed the fact that NOT ALL PEOPLE ON THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY ARE ON IT BECAUSE THEY SEXUALY ASSAULTED A MINOR OR CHILD. These types of laws do nothing but make it so the sex offenders will re-offend. Look to the US Dept. of Justice statistics on sex offenders. One of the lowest recidivism rates amoung all criminals at 3.5% re-convicted for a new sex crime within 3 years of release from prison. 90% of sexual assaults commited by a person well known and trusted by the victim with over 50% of those being a family member. 95% of sexual assault commited by a person with NO prior arrest record. If those in office realy wanted to protect us the public they would REQUIRE ALL KNOWN SEX OFFENDERS TO PAY FOR TESTING THAT WOULD SHOW HOW MUCH OF A DANGER THEY ARE TO RE-OFFEND. And then use that information to post on the SOR. Federal law it DOES NOT MANDATE work info.

Just think about it, not all sex offenders have really done anything wrong. You may be a sex offender yourself having sex with someone younger or older than yourself and not getting caught up. Alot of female will give a different age because they look that way, but then get mad and want to call the police when they dont get another chance, or if the mom wanted the man first. It has happend right here in Brazos Valley.
Posted by: Alex Location: Bryan on Sep 25, 2008 at 02:26 PM
If they had real standards for prosecution I might agree. But this class of crime in particular is useful for marginalizing someone the government doesn't like and it is all done with no proof whatsoever. Remember the FAKE call that resulted in the raid on the FLDS site? You people sound like a bunch of reactive cowards willing to go along with government's plan to put a chip in people for some never-delivered-upon promise of safety. Kids grew up fine BEFORE all this nonesense. If you are worried about your kids, stop illegal immigration - a much bigger threat to all.

NOT all sex offenders offend children. They also do it to adults as well. BUT at the same time, these offenders can be in fr domestic violence such as hitting their spouse, partner and will be listed as a sex offender. Granted, I don't want a child predator around my children, and young family members, but like post said, know the degree of the offense befor writing the all off.

And would someone please tell me how all these laws protect anyone? So now you know where the sex offender is that is compliant with the law. 85% of sexual assaults on children are by someone they know or the family knows. How does this protect you from Uncle Bob? These are knee jerk laws that get votes and waste money. Be sure to check this site before you go anywhere, it will protect you from all the dangers and all the predators hiding behind every blade of grass and every bush. BTW anyone ever tell you what the recidivism rate is for sex offenders? It's the LOWEST of all felony groups; 3-12%. Don't take my word for it check the USDOJ website. Don't ask lawenforcement, they will give you some crazy figure like 50% just to justify the bite they take out of your tax dollar.

I think this is a great idea, but not sure how this information could be kept updated. Take for example, dead beat dads, who work for themselves as contractors where cash transactions are most likely to occur. They are hard to keep track of. Just check out the AG web site. Either way, safety starts at home and I tell my children what is appropriate and what is not. I can't watch them all the time, so when they are out of my site, I pray alot.

Posted by: To Nosybodies on Sep 25, 2008 at 12:35 PM
The only way I could support this is if the website also includes the age and date where the offense took place. Consider a 40 year old being hounded out of working as a mechanic because 22 years ago he got recognized streaking at some sporting event while drunk (18 year olds don't always excersize the best judgement, even when they are sober, and once they've had a few...). Businesses, now, especially for positions that require close contact with the potential victims, need to be able to background check for rapists, sadists, child molesters, etc and held accountable if they don't screen these folks out. But not everybody on the list falls into that category, and a CSI episode last spring highlighted how a harmless person who makes one stupid mistake can be victimized by the system if outed publicly. And how easy (and self justifiable to themselves) it is for a truely dangerous predator to obscure their name on the list.
Posted by: George Location: College Station on Sep 25, 2008 at 11:42 AM
What happens when people look at the registry when all the business addresses are added, then call the businesses that employ them and state that UNLESS they fire the sex offenders, they will ACCUSE them of enabling and abetting the future rape of any child unlucky enough to be in their store, restaurant, or place of business? Have the authorities considered that? It happens ALL THE TIME around the country based on news reports, and it is the most horrible thing a parent has to consider. KBTX should be commended for notifying us all to a tool to make things safe! Businesses, if you currently employ a registered sex offender, you may consider firing him BEFORE your business name appear on the Internet...otherwise, most people will assume you support child molestation, and your business will ONLY go into the sewer. Rest assured, your customers, or potential customers, WILL be looking...without question!

Deserve means we need to be punished further. Punishment in an ex post facto way is unconstitutional. Every time someone says we deserve it I think, "Yep, even those who don't really know enough about the laws or statistics are calling it what it is" unconstitutional. Call your lawmakers and let them know that this law is unconstitutional or if you don't want to then don't complain when the constitution is no longer worth the paper its written on and your life is affected by your politicians and your freedom as you know it now is gone.

In some cases, I can understand it. But I know someone who got into trouble as a juvenile. He served over 4 years in TYC. He got out at age 21. He has been out almost 5 years. He has to register for only 10 years. His adult record is clear. He has a good job. He has stayed out of trouble because he learned his lesson. This kind of thing could cost him his job, that he has worked at for over 3 years. I hope it doesn't.

This is great. We should know where these people live and work, so we can stay away. Why are people making comments against this? They are either one of them or they do not have children or loved ones to care about. Sex offenders shouldn't be back on the streets to begin with, the least authorities can do is tell us where they are.

On one hand, I understand the need to inform the public of the whereabouts of sexual predators - this crime, more than any other, has a high rate of repeat offenders. On the other hand, I understand that once these offenders have served their time, they should be entitled to the opportunity to work, earn money for their families and become a contributing member of society. I am not sure how knowing where these offenders work is going to impact communities. What I do know is, after working in the field of victim services for almost a decade, most people do not even utilize the TDPS records to learn where sex offenders live. There are still parents who are shocked to learn that an offender lives in their neighborhood, even though that information has been available to them for some time now.
Posted by: not understanding Location: grimes county on Sep 25, 2008 at 10:45 AM
I dont understand how the law works. I know that you have some repeat sex offenders out there and I can see keeping up with them, but you have those who made a mistake took their punishment an they are trying to put there life back together. Why should they have to suffer. We dont make it public abour murderers,adulterys,robbers and so on. Everyone has sinned or did wrong and you do have those who never learn and maybe they should suffer. So why should we hurt those who are trying to be productive citizens. There is nobody who is perfect, so I dont agree with the u.s. about this. Instead of hurting those who are trying to stay out of trouble and abide by the law, they need to focus on fixing this economy that has fallen apart. People are so unforgiven, but we want God to forgive us when we do something wrong, or when its someone in there family they want people to understand. I dont believe in it, but dont hurt those who are trying, or who are not repeat sex offenders.
Posted by: MSLGWCEO Location: Tulsa,OK on Sep 25, 2008 at 10:20 AM
Posting employment causes more harm than good. Employers who hire a former offender will be forced to fire them due to the fact that customers will complain and that is bad for business. Former offenders will be forced into the streets as they will not be able to pay their rent or have monies to feed their own wives and children. These laws distabilize individuals and sets them up for failure. This is as un-American as it gets. Fear mongering by the entertainment news media for ratings and politicians for votes is what we are experiencing here. The time is past due for Americans to educate themselves to real facts on the effects of these laws. They absolutely DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD. I would rather have former offenders working and paying taxes than violating them for technicalities and having to pay taxes to house them at thousands of dollars per year. A good place to educate yourself and learn the issues is: www.cfcoklahoma.org
Posted by: Stuart on Sep 25, 2008 at 10:01 AM
"They bag your groceries, sell and service your vehicle, even prepare your food. Chances are you've run into a sex offender while he or she was on the job, and didn't even know it." They might also be business owners, emergency responders, lawyers, nurses, entertainers, software programmers, and doctors. They might also be sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers and mothers trying to hold down a job to help support themselves and their families. This stereotyping has got to go. Ninety plus percent of new sex offenses do not come from former sex offenders, they come from people with no record of a sex offense. The recidivism rate for the overwhelming majority of sex offenders is low. This listing can only destabilize people further and make it hard for them to be usefully employed.
Posted by: BC on Sep 25, 2008 at 09:49 AM
Thank you CFC. Not all "offenders" should be treated equal. There are definitely different degrees of offenses. Businesses where this kind of information is extremely important won't hire sex offenders, as they do background checks (ex: daycares, working for the state, etc.). Who cares if a sex offender prepares your meal???

WOW......tough call. Most of the offenders are potentially dangerous, but I know of a college student that was dating a girl who lied about her age saying she was 19 when she was only 16. When her parents found out that she and the young man were sexually active, they had him arrested for sex with a minor. Now he has a lifelong record. So, maybe they should look at each individual's case and determine from there whether or not to make their workplace public information.

For those of you worried about the "privacy" of sex offenders, they should have never committed the crime then their "privacy" would have been maintained. Also, it is not like everyone looks at this website. Most likely it will never even pose a problem for the individual. But with two kids at home I am definitely all for it. Anything to protect my kids....that is the bottom line.
