One of the Worst Types of Offenders....

In my opinion one of the worst types of offenders are the men (and women) in clergy.  In their position of not only power, but of "spiritual direction" a child (or adult) can be left traumatized not only physically, emotionally and mentally - but spiritually as well.

I'd like to share a link to a blog called "Deep Thoughts".  The writer of this blog may be bringing these stories to light for his own reasons, but the important thing is that we become aware to the point that we are not paranoid but careful.

Years ago I found out that my son's childhood Sunday School teacher was arrested for sexually abusing a child.   No one at our church had any clue that this guy was a perv, he had a wife and son of his own.  He appeared to be a nice guy.  I wrote about him here.

So, remember, it happens not just in stories of others, but to us as well.  I wish we didn't have to think about these things.  I wish hating something made it go away.  Unfortunately that doesn't work.

Violent Sexual Predator Relased to OC Tomorrow!

Lawrence Brown

Sometimes I want to throw intelligent words out the window and just yell at the top of my lungs, "WHAT THE ____ ARE THEY THINKING!"

One thing I know is that it has been shown again and again and again that sexual predators can not be rehabilitated. They get out and re-offend and MANY times the crimes escalate. The absolute perfect example from very recently is this scumbag, John Gardner, who KILLED two young girls after being let out after raping several girls.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEARN THAT ENDANGERING INNOCENT PEOPLE IS NOT OKAY? 

I am sickened. Here's the story:

SANTA ANA, Calif. (KABC) -- The Orange County District Attorney's (OCDA) Office released a statement Tuesday warning the community of the impending release of a convicted violent sex offender.

The suspect, Lawrence Joseph Brown, 52, was convicted of kidnapping and forcible sex on two Santa Ana girls, ages 7 and 8, in two separate assaults. Sentencing enhancements were added to the convictions due to the violent nature of the crimes.

Brown was released on parole in April. He was free for several days before he violated his parole. He had registered as a sex offender in Santa Ana but lived with a girlfriend in Tustin. Tustin Police were never notified. On May, 6, 2010, only 10 days after being released from prison, he was violated on his parole and sent back to state prison.

The OCDA has requested that Brown be classified as a Sexually Violent Predator so he would be civilly committed, according to the OCDA's office.

The OCDA's office says the state Department of Mental Health has not responded to the classification request in a timely manner.

Brown is scheduled to be released Wednesday from Chino State Prison. He's scheduled to be released into Orange County.

Rape outside the USA - Part One

I would never call a rape survivor "fortunate" but I can say that those of us who have endured the crime of rape  here in the States are much more fortunate than in many other parts of the world.

I am going to start a series about what its like for a victim of rape in other countries by linking to articles or stories, and also by interviewing a  young lady I know from a Muslin country.

In India the laws are humiliating, unjust and completely non-scientific.  They use "the finger test" which is exactly what you it sounds like (see here for full article and be prepared to be angered).

Thankfully these laws are coming up for review and many human rights organizations are making a loud noise to have them changed.  As in many places (including here) the victim is often blamed for the crime.  I don't think many women stand a chance of seeing justice in India unless these laws are revised.

"At the core of the finger-test is the widespread belief that a sexually liberated woman is "asking for it" and protecting her is not the state’s responsibility."
