Pulaski Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Hey finally Congress does something I can get behind. they passed a bill the other day creating tougher sex offender laws. I think this is particularly good these days given all I have been reading lately about child soliciation and pornography and all sorts of horrible things. About freaking time, I say... This particluar bill...(Abbreviated, see full link below) 1) Creates a national public sex offender registry. 2) Provides consistency among all the states, so sex offenders have the same requirements throughout the country. 3) Penalizes failure to comply with registration duties as a state and federal felony. 4) Enhances the ability of law enforcement to track the location of sex offenders when they move, so there won't be as many "missing" sex offenders in the system. 6) Increases the number of Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces across the nation. http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/ser...amp;PageId=2503 (that site has a lot of other interesting resources if this is an issue you're interested in, like the cybertipline hotline, articles, statistics, safety tips for kids, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
