<DIV
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">For
whatever it is worth, I am cautious about focusing too much on sex offender
lists and websites. It creates a false sense that we "know" who is
dangerous. As our town's recent case demonstrates, the majority of
people who sexually exploit children and teens have never been discovered or
adjudicated. So background checks don't flag them, and offender registries don't
list them, but they could be living or working next door. I am a big
advocate of everyone being attentive to the behaviors of adults around teens and
kids, educating kids about appropriate boundaries, and not being afraid to ask
questions if the behavior of an adult seems out of line. And, since I am a
therapist, I think making treatment available for those who need it is a "must",
because jail time alone does not rehabilitate this problem. I think
these keep us safer as a community. Just my two
cents.<BR>Kathy<BR></DIV><BR>
