Some of my child advocate friends forwarded a link to a series done by a writer by the name of Lynda M. Martin. She is doing a profile on various sex offenders and I assume she is looking for what makes them tick. But in her efforts she is very empathetic to offenders and their plights as the issue relates to "what constitutes" a sex offender. Some of her writings seem on target in a generic sort of way, others came across as a push for more lenient legislation concerning these people. I think we all know any aspects of legislation usually need fine tuning as they are put into practice, but the overwhelming message Lynda M. Martin seemed to impart was "most of these guys are harmless" and the public shouldn't react as they do. In this day and age when you count the number of brutal sexual violations against our women and children it amazes me this "writer" would downplay the heinousness of these crimes and the people who perpetrate them. Lynda M. Martin used "not so quite correct stats" that were skewed with other not so dependable variables to paint a picture of this issue that to a parent could have dangerous implications if taken for full truths. In all my years of researching and reaching out to people who I beg to lean on the more cautious side of the coin, I left Lynda Martins blog thinking she should throw most of that caution to the wind. Her expose' tries to leave the general impression she is a brave soul who ventured into this arena. Confronting sex offenders with child victims , I liken to shooting fish in a barrel..they go after children due to the fact they are basically cowards and don't have the ability to deal with another adult in a healthy, legal, responsible manner. So she gains no kudos from me on that.
Ahh but I digress, after this article was forwarded I ventured on. registered, read it, read it again and called her down on what I thought was a dangerous stance ..Lynda M. Martin didn't like that, she obviously didn't like many other posters responses either and refused to post many who were back-mailed to me.
So whats the bottom line, She disliked my comments to the extent she allowed convicted sex offenders to post my name, picture and the address of this blog on her comment sections..now in the big picture I am way over having my privacy invaded by these poor excuses for DNA and the fact I blog about these offenders comes with the territory..I can bank on offenders impersonating me, insulting me, heck even threatening me, but this Lynda M. Martin is suppose to be a published writer, victim advocate and she has a long list of self proclaimed accolades she prefaces herself under..she is also in complete control of her hub and what is published on it...I can only assume at this point someone very close to her has found themselves with sex offender status or she is just a vindictive, nasty, self righteous, doesn't play well with others, media whore who will stoop to any level to gain affirmation from various sex offender groups and or their advocates...who by the way, seem to be her new best friends..

Recently an activist by the name of Barbara Farris was arrested for the charge of "menacing". I have not been able to find out the details of this arrest so I will impart my scenario of what most likely happened. Convicted sex offenders are banning together in an attempt to financially hurt those who are the most outspoken against them. Somehow I see this "menacing" accusation as being just that, will no real foundation behind it. But knowing the legal system as I do, it can be expensive and time consuming to defend yourself against charges no matter how bogus they might be. Thats the beauty about sex offenders, they are as predictable as x-lax when it comes to lying or bending the truth. But I digress, for activist out there if the SO's want to play down and dirty with the justice system, it might be time to play back. If you find a convicted sex offender "loitering" with his pants unzipped, I highly recommend you call 911 ASAP and report it. Keep your camera phones on the ready if you spot a SO in the vicinity of a park, playground, church with daycare or any other places where children congregate...remember a photo or video is as good as a cop seeing it. Good luck out there and dont give up the fight..and dont forget about Barbara she needs us more than ever..

Dave Aronberg is dangerous to Florida's Families
Aronberg has some mission page to try and connect with voters that just doesnt quite jive with his actions on the Floor. He was the only Senator that tried to shove repealed sex offender residency restrictions down the throats of Florida's families. Think about it? You want this guy as Florida's AG? I dont think so! Aronberg seems to have turned out to be the worst of A political full time candidate, constantly on the rung trying to grab more and more power and taking more and more from Florida's families...He brags about who is endorsing him in his political aspirations and trust me, they are NO ENDORSEMENT..Elenore Sobel is in the same mindset and "no action" club as Aronberg, her claim to fame? Tanning beds..yep I lose sleep over that one everynite Elenore...Its bad enough I have candidates like Aronberg and Sobel sucking the lifeblood out of Florida on a daily basis but when some jerk like Aronberg wants to repeal restrictions for those who have no qualms about chewing our children up and spitting them out..its time to vote him and his endorsers out the door..

I have tried my best
I have tried to be fair and balanced on this issue...and its not working. It becomes more obvious to me everyday that a tougher, harsher stand must be taken against those who feed off our women and children. I reached out to others on both sides of the fence and everyday the crimes get worse and worse with less and less justice afforded to the Victims.
Put a fork in me..I have taken the heat from all parties involved and have officially decided there is no middle ground on this issue. I kept at arms length groups who I thought were too extreme on either side of this issue. No more..I wanted access to Legislators, Law Enforcement and the judicial system without them precieving me as too radical. Well the play is out of the Pup and I see now there is no middle ground to be had. I thought I would be more effective fighting for issues that effected my State and I still do, because those are the issues I have educated myself on. But for every foot gained we are loosing two...its time to get down and dirty on these crimes and the people who commit them..

In this day and age when an adult steps over the lines of sexual boundaries with minors you have to ask yourself? What was this guy thinking? With all the publicity surrounding the repercussions of engaging in sexual relationships (consentual or not) with minors, you have to deduct these guys arent the brighest bulbs in the box and warrant oversight.What sex offenders and their advocates love as a rebuttal is the (offender was known or close to the victim) well Duh! Its amusing to tit for tat on these issues with offenders. They resent the registry and use the argument that offenders are relatives or someone in close proximity to the child. Well, I am curious as to just who they think registered sex offenders are? They are fathers, brothers, husbands, coaches, clergy and all those who positioned themselves next to a child for no other reason than for their own sexual gratification. Lets face it, we arent talking about the space station here. I have to wonder why offenders, offenders websites and those who advocate for them think and maintain that overall offenders are harmless and rarely repeat their crimes. To which I would have to reply, “if a guy has no qualms about molesting someone close to him, he sure wouldnt think twice about using yours or mine’s child for his own selfish motives, given the opportunity”. The more offenders allowed to live among us, simply equates more opportunities.I find this outrageous and careless. What most people fail to realize is we have been “conditioned” by Law Enforcement and the Judicial to accept these offenders in our airspace for no other reason than “money”.The old adage, “money is the root of all evil” is certainly applicable in this social issue. Oh, they throw families and children a bone or two by mandating residency restrictions or barring them from parks, but overall what they have really done is throw their hands up in the air and due to the fact they dont want to spend the MONEY, “condition” you, the public, to live with them. The danger in this, contrary to what offenders and their advocates want you to believe, is offenders are RE-Offending at all time rates. The justice department released figures that when you read thru the legal-eaze of it all has increased, not declined.Mr.Russell Dion Lewis the man profiled in this arrest will wind his way through the justice system, be labled a Convicted sex offender (if we are lucky) and then proceed to jump the hoops of registration and compliance. Then Mr. Lewis will resent his status and moan and cry he cant find housing due to his sex offender label and round and round we go, until some legislator “Sen.Dave Aronberg” comes to mind and spouts off his 2 cents on the issue of lowering the residency restrictions to accomadate men like Mr. Lewis.Ahh the circle jerk never ceases to amaze me. Aronberg wants these men closer to our children to ensure more affordable housing for them.Maybe I am just an idiot and have no place to interject my ideas. But men like Aronberg should have a muzzle put on them before they do their research and make uneducated statements as he has.Afterall his only lame solution is to allow these men closer without looking at the big picture. What will his solution be next year after more offenders move into Florida? Lower the restrictions to 500 feet. Left up to Aronberg he will probably campaign for an “adopt a sex offender campaign” at this rate.Maybe we should try:
Those convicted of “Romeo consentual sex with minors within 4 years of age of each other should be taken off the registry NOW.
Convicted sex offenders who’s crimes included “consentual sex with a minor” outside the 4 years,need longer sentences and should be allowed to petition to be taken off the registry after 10 years (after release) if no other offense of any kind has been committed.
Criminal alien offenders of which there is more and more should be deported immediately and where there is what I call the weasel clause of politics (no formal relations) be kept incarcerated.
A moritorium against offenders who committed their crimes in other states be forbidden to set up residency in Florida.Its obvious by Florida’s sex offender numbers, more are moving in than going out.
Offenders who committed violent sexual crimes be incarcerated for longer periods of time and “no gain time” be incorporated into their sentence.
What people dont understand is, you have already paid for this, but your children just dont warrant the efforts. In the DOC’s mind, let them all out and throw the dice.I have many more, but if the “powers that be” want to do something about this issue, lowering residency restrictions and trying to mandate them across the state is insane.

A Letter you may write
I wrote my immediate elected officials this am. I am in Florida but you may be elsewhere so see fit to add, ignore or make any changes that effects you.
As my elected official I am requesting that on the FDLE sex offender website you request "Country of Origin" to be posted on each offenders Flyer. After much research on Florida's sex offender issues, I have become painfully aware that a disproportionate amount of Florida's sex offenders are "not" US citizens. The families in Florida are not interested in Skewed Immigration policies that may or may not effect deportation as to whether we have "formal relations with a certain country or not". What we are certain of is Florida is drowning in Offenders who by law should have been deported after serving their sentences,and not be released back out onto the streets of our state to only feed again. This is not an immigrant bashing effort. This is a grass-roots effort to make our elected officials at least cognizant to fact that as Taxpayers and Parents we are tired of suffering at the hands of those who should not be allowed to commit more crimes because of Politicians failure to take action in this area. We also feel adding "country of Origin" is paramount in maintaining a database to ensure whatever direction the issue of Amnesty or Pathways to citizenship may or may not take, it will be fully realized that these are not the types of citizens Florida will pay for or accomadate. I and many many others are awaiting your response or lack thereof to this request.Sincerely,
"Anyway, one of my mottos is, "You dont ask, You dont get"...Politicians love to jump on "Protecting the children Efforts" lets see how serious they are?
