Civil Rights groups had a 2006 law being overturned by Georgia’s top court, in order to serve the roughly 11,000 registered sex offenders in the state. 'They – the convicted offenders – would not have much choice for where to live,' was one of the main arguments of these groups, since they were prohibited from living, working or loitering near gathering places for children. These places are: schools, churches, parks, gyms, swimming pools, even neighborhoods, or one of the state's 150,000 school bus stops.
Some groups like the Southern Center for Human Rights, argued that it would force some offenders to live in their cars or set up tents or trailers in the woods, and undermine other efforts to keep track of offenders.
Poor things…. I really wonder who is more valuable and worthy of the state’s protection: the helpless children or the 11,000 perverts?
I often wondered why pedophiles are released from jail at all. But once I checked, I found out that many convicted child rapists are back out roaming the streets in less than 2 years.
It seems to me that people get thrown in jail much longer for “only money” offenses, whereas when they ruined the life, mind and body of a small child, they receive barely a slap on the hand AND are quickly released for “new adventures”…..
Where do so-called “civil rights” end? Who is more worthy of protection?
It just makes me so mad…..

The big question is..... where is the opposition? Where is everybody to fight against such stupid rulings?

Sometimes I am of the opinion that Civil Rights groups are actually funded by the government. And that the court systems are biased in the same fashion, to relieve the government of actually having to govern. Any one can see a mountain of legislation that does not make sense, and they can watch these organizations doing the same---however they all have the same effect---reducing the responsibility of government.

I have heard perverts saying that the child (not yet teenager) actually "flirted" with them, and "wanted" to have sex with them.... 
And 2 years after their conviction, they are out of jail again, living next to your lovely neighborhood school.....

They don't get involved until their kid don't come home one day. They find their kid raped, beat, placed in a garbage bag and buried alive. When I talk about a society of degenerates and moral decay, whom do you think I'm referring too. When I was growing up if the neighbor seen you causing trouble they slapped you upside the
head, called your parents and sent you home where your dad slapped you upside
the otherside of your head.

the roughly 11,000 registered sex offenders in the state
The term "sex offenders" does NOT automatically mean "child rapists" or "pedophiles". The majority of those convicted of "sex offenses" has nothing whatsoever to do with children.
Until recently, some states listed even those who were convicted for such things as getting caught taking a leak in an alley or breast-feeding and exposing a nipple in public as "sex offenders" -- which is now deemed an unfair label. A lot of these lawsuits have been brought on to force states to rethink their blanket labelling and catagorize FAIRLY. Some everyday normal, happily married guy who got his girlfriend pregnant 30 years ago, when he was 18 and she was 15 does NOT need to live his entire life under the current limitations of poorly written laws: laws which weren't intended, but still grossly affect, people like him.
It's now up to Georgia to classify offenders and revamp their laws to reflect the common sense side of their intent. My guess is that pedophiles (or those convicted of such) won't be allowed to live anywhere near schools, etc...just like in other states.

Please show me a case where a woman breats feeding was labled a sex offender or peeing in a alley. There are other laws that cover this. Now if your talking about a 18 year-old having sex with a 16 year-old your point has some merit but even in this case it's a long shot if they have been sexually active in a relationship......

Check out some old threads in the Politics Forum. This was discussed extensively, with posted examples, quite awhile back. California (relatively) recently changed their own laws to reflect "common sense"...some of these so-called "sex offenses" were changed from felony to misdemeanor. Others were re-classified completely.

I would like to see that case also.
The ones on the list here are child molesters, either rape or fondling.

less than 1/2 of 1% are affected by teenage minor dating...............which what your saying is true " common sense " but this hardly the issue. When a person completes there sentence they have paid their debt to society hence, the arguement is that once that debt is paid it is unconstitutional to restrict there rights based on a crime that they have already paid their debt.
What the courts and prosecuting attorney's are also trying to do is when these sex offenders are released from jail is have them committed to a psychiatric facilities because there are no known cure's for this mental disorder. In short, they are a danger to society. To release these people and have them live near schools is ridiculous. What's that saying like putting a fox guarding the hen house.

Doesn't matter if there is a case. All your going to get is the courts decision. The facts and details of that decision won't be in print for the public. If a woman by some far chance was convicted and labled a sex offender from breast feeding in public there must be other facts and details of the case to support such a ruling that you won't see.

forgot to add this.
Even if by some remote chance the woman was convicted and labled a sex offender merely by breast feeding in public, this would never with stand an appeal.
My god, do you think the women's rights groups in this country would ever allow to this to happen?..........................

I am certain that there are enough advocacy groups and lawyers out there for defending those who are wrongly labeled "sex offenders".
But because of these cases, one should NEVER forget the real pedophiles, the real predators, who should not be out roaming the streets, and even less living near any place where children are gathering.
AND the law should protect the children, not the predators.

I personally know of a location in Alabama where convicted sex offenders live right next door to single parent families in apartments/mobile homes and this is against the law. However, no one does anything about them because the person who owns this "living complex" is in tight with the local authorities.
Being a foster parent for a number of years, I also had to go to court with some of my children to convict these same people. As far as I am concerned, they can live under a bridge for all I care. Anyone who harms/hurts a child does not need any sympathy.

That's the whole point of revamping the laws (even if it means bringing in lawsuits to do so)...to focus the attention where it belongs.
"Predators" are "sex offenders".
All "sex offenders" are not necessarily "predators".
I highly doubt any group is advocating providing candy bars and front row bleacher seats in front of every school yard.

You may be interested to know that a similar campaign is underway in Iowa. According to the articles that I read, law enforcement officials claim that the law actually makes it more difficult to track sexual predators and hence harder to protect children. In addition to the discrimination that sex offenders normally face from landlords, the number and size of prohibited areas effectively prevents a sex offender from living in most Iowa cities. They either leave the state entirely or else migrate to the smaller towns where they are unknown and are much more likely to molest children again.
It reeks of the ghetto and certainly will not satisfy everybody, but I wonder if the solution to this problem might be to designate certain towns or areas in which sex offenders must reside when released from prison. The government would buy out and relocate the normal citizens and then turn the entire town into a zone in which children are strictly prohibited. The offender would not be permitted to leave that town or area (under penalty of death), but otherwise could live pretty much as he or she chose. They could start basic industries or farm or whatever else and would never again be a threat to children.

...RareQuestor...
Interesting how your "solution" comes very near to my "solution" of which I've been thinking since about 20 years...
Since I'm against death penalty or castration (whereas I wouldn't guarantee anything if anybody would dare touching my little boy....) I have thought of the following:
I would want the USA to prepare an otherwise deserted island for human habitation.... put everything on there, including houses, hospitals, that kind of stuff. Then deport all child molesters there. Since it would be an exclusively male community (or am I wrong on that one...???) there would be no worries about children being conceived. There would be no children there, nor women. There might be guards (like in a prison?) Supplies would get flown in. None of the "inhabitants" would get flown out.... ever.
Life on the island would be simple, but with all normal anemities (maybe minus internet connections.... I suppose). And that way, "they" could all frolic around by and with themselves...

Aw hell, might as well loan every single person that's ever been convicted of a sex related offense, guilty or not, a gun...with one bullet. 
Case closed.
EVERYBODY'S happy then...and much cheaper in the long run. 
 Now when all those guys are done in, who are we going to eliminate next to create our Utopia?

It's not a new idea in any case. Isolation has been one of the standard punishments decreed by humanity for thousands of years. (That is how Australia was founded.) Since our efforts to cure pedophilia have largely failed, it seems to me that we have basically three choices: We can accept it as normal behavior (as the Thais and a few other Asian countries do), we can exterminate the offenders or we can isolate the pedophiles from the rest of society. We have, for all practical purposes, chosen the third option and implemented it through zoning laws, sex offender databases and imprisonment. I am only suggesting that if that is indeed the solution that most Americans prefer, then we should at least implement it properly and isolate them as completely as possible. Half-measures tend to aggravate a problem rather than solve it.

No, my solution to controlling smokers is to eliminate tobacco completely so that it cannot be planted, grown or harvested. Exiling smokers to Mars is an acceptable alternative, though.
