A grave mistake

We will be making a grave mistake if we become reliant on sex offender registries to give us vital information about sexual predators.

Perps will give law enforcement all the information they're required to give, but as in the case of Joseph Duncan's (Groene family murderer/kidnapper) blog, he listed that he lived in one apartment, while he was actually living in another apartment in the same building.

Sexual predators are extremely mobile, driven by their lusts, and are able to do so funded by the "currency" of pornographic photographs, computer Web sites, and abducted children whom they sell, or pimp.

They usually cannot hold down a job and have no desire to do so, so they have a wealth of time on their hands. They are usually extremely difficult to track.

There need to be photos and information exchanged among states and readily available to all, but if we are expecting government and law enforcement to do the overwhelming job of protecting our defenseless children, we are sunk.

If it's too hard to keep track of all of the sexual predators, then they need to be sorted out and rounded up and put in facilities where we CAN keep an eye on them.

In the 11th Circuit federal sexual predators are effectively kept behind bars, because part of their parole requires them to submit to federal digital polygraphers, not the talk show lame kind—qualified digital polygraphers/physiopathologists, PhDs., of which there are only 30 qualified as such to polygraph sexual predators (because of the level of deception employed by the offenders). If their scheduled parole polygraph indicates deception, they go through polygraphing until they polygraph clean, and they always go back to prison, in violation of their parole, because, in order to come clean on their polygraph, they would have to admit what they've done.

So they are in prison either way, either because their agreed upon polygraph indicates deception to questions about their sexual activities related to offenses, or they will admit what they have done.

In the case of a missing child or adult, the perp is polygraphed, but not required to respond.

A map with a grid is laid out and questions are asked of the suspect concerning the location of the victim. The suspect's physiology alerts and provides indications concerning the area where the body may be found. Smaller and smaller maps of the indicated area are laid out until the precise location is determined.

While a polygraph may or may not be admissible in court, a body of evidence that links the suspect to the victim/crime certainly is undeniable.

Citizens need to lean on their politicians in every corner of this country until every means available is employed to put these predators in a vice, so they have no wiggle room at all.
