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?
