Stop Widespread Government Abuse of Children
The government should not be allowed knowingly 100% severely emotionally abuse the great many dependent minor children of sex offenders through publicly identifying their parent as a sex offender with the weak excuse of preventing some small percentage, less than 10%, of sex offenders from re-offending with new sex crimes.
Why is this important?
When I was 8 years old, because my father was convicted of a sex crime with 1 victim for events allegedly occurring 25 years earlier, for which my father served 22 months, and for which he was awarded a Certificate of Rehabilitation 10 years earlier than 2007, 1 year before I was even born in 1998, the government for the first time began widely publicly identifying my father as a sex offender through pamphlet mailings. This action destroyed my childhood, as the government was fully aware it would, and from the age of 8 thru 14 when I fled the country with my family, I suffered severe emotional abuse from such government actions.
Huge numbers of other children of sex offenders are still going through the extreme emotional abuse I was put through, destroying their childhoods. This is not even counting the ~22,000 minors convicted every year of sex offenses, some of whom are as young as 7 years old, some convicted for offenses like playing doctor.
Some logical and rational reasoning needs to be applied to this.
