Child Predator Laws Wax and Wane
With outrage specific to the defense of NAMBLA by the ACLU and more general discontent with efforts to effectively contend with child predators, at least in the state of North Carolina the Attorney General is urging the General Assembly to strengthen law enforcement and subsequent punishment for offenders.
In New Jersey there are laws restricting the use of the internet for sex offenders. But when it comes to restricting where sex offenders can live, too many legislators are caving to bleeding hearts. In Kansas another year has been added to a moratorium on restricting where sex offenders can live. In Wisconsin, a law passed a year ago to electronically track sex offenders may be cut from the budget. The predominant source of laws restricting where sex offenders can live appears to be a the local level. Federal and State authorities appear to be reluctant to move forward with these protections. It may be time for the blogosphere to apply more pressure on this issue.
