sex offenders

My discussion question in my family violence class this week asks if current sex registry laws and neighborhood notifications are effective in protecting children from sexual abuse.

While I haven't finished my response, my immediate response is "no."

Why?  Almost 90% of sexual abuse against children is committed by family members or acquaintances of the child.

I think the registry makes people paranoid for naught.  Most offenders aren't going to grab children off the streets.

What do you think?
