The plan is to claim that almost all sexual abuse against children is incest, then they claim incest offenders have the lowest recidivism rates and they therefore conclude that they aren't dangerous.<br /><br />In other words it's not REALLY so bad if your child is abused as long as a family member does it and you can't see blood and broken bones.<br /><br />And yet:<br /><br />The U.S. Department of Justice reports that 93% of victims under the age of 17, and 73% of victims age 18 and older, were assaulted by someone they knew. Where the victim was a child, 34% of offenders were family members and 59% were acquaintances (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2000). <br /><br />Here's some interesting tidbits left out of her attempt at propaganda<br /><br />At least half of convicted child molesters report that they also have sexually assaulted an adult (Alhmeyer, Heil, McKee, and English, 2004).<br /><br />Over 80% of convicted adult rapists report that they have molested children (Alhmeyer et al, 2004).<br /><br />Approximately one-third of sex offenders report assaulting both males and females. Research shows that most convicted sex offenders have committed many, assaults before they are caught (English, Jones, Pasini-Hill, Patrick, and Cooley-Towell, 2000).<br /><br />Over two-thirds of offenders who reported committing incest also report they assaulted victims outside the family (English et al, 2000).<br /><br />Most sex offenders report that they have committed multiple types of sexual assault (sexual assault crimes include exhibitionism, voyeurism, oral sex, vaginal penetration, attempted penetration, fondling, and incest)(English et al, 2000).<br /><br />But Miss-One-Way-Street who only wants to hear from those who praise who "courage" and from child molesters who agree with her and cheer her on has established a position of silencing those who don't agree.Stitches77https://www.blogger.com/profile/08473635282817555393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047685695090570114.post-30520993437553342982010-09-25T19:33:19.681-04:002010-09-25T19:33:19.681-04:00“Anonymous said...

She writes one article, which is a good one I might add, and you get all ticked off and write 4 blog posts about her.<br /><br />Wow, you are obsessed!!! “<br /><br />Excuse me? An opinionated article isn’t “good” unless you happen to agree with the author. Did you forget about the false statistics and ridiculous claims she made? Her article is fiction and should be dealt with accordingly. Val has far more knowledge of the issues and clearly is in a better position to counter the misinformation in the article, but her posts were censored. There’s nothing good going on as far as I can see.<br /><br />Valerie, I’ve always admired your sincere desire to protect your community from known sexual predators in your neighborhood. If it weren’t for people like you and other vigilant citizens, public notification would be a dismal failure. Your heart has always been in the right place. Of course, offenders would rather not be on the registry so they can live among us in a cloaked fashion, and the people who want to protect the offenders prefer that you shut up. That delete button seems to be on fire over there on her hub, eh?

LOL Seriously. I know you've been around a long time, Val, and quite frankly I think you've written articles about your experiences with sex offenders that the Hub Queen has no clue about. She's only interviewed 4 offenders. The little interaction she's had online appears to be with SOSENites that we know about. Without any research or legal background she's already reached a conclusion that many offenders have been railroaded or victimized by the draconian sex offender laws. My oh my. My major concern about her series of predator articles is that she implies she's some sort of expert or professional regarding sex offenders. Nothing can be further from the truth, obviously. People reading her material may not realize her articles are hidden with fiction and based on her opinions only. Interviewing predators holds a lot of "wow" factor with all the dazzle to get attention, but it does nothing to add to her credibility. I find it telling that she quickly dismissed (and deleted posts on her blog) from folks like you and others who work directly with offenders every day and have been for years. I guess it's easier to cherry pick a few LEOs and offenders when trying to bolster ones own agenda.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511831171777649217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047685695090570114.post-74140255936703469752010-09-25T13:23:24.909-04:002010-09-25T13:23:24.909-04:00she refuses to post responses to her blog by those...she refuses to post responses to her blog by those who have a contrary point of view,,that doesnt fly..so they are posted here..at least I leave the doors open for contrary differences of opinion..even yours..you cant write the crap she does then run and hide..Valigatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17120303299556237425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047685695090570114.post-86626945915437237492010-09-25T13:09:31.371-04:002010-09-25T13:09:31.371-04:00Boy, who pissed in your cheerios?
