We are way too easy on those who decide to abuse children. Here is my answer to these people who abuse our loved ones\nSex Offender Legislation “Wish List” \n1-GPS and lifetime supervision/treatment Law The failure of today's solutions regarding sexual offenders is because we are stuck in the strategy of “public notification” rather than “controlling offenders”. The current model puts the burden on parents rather than offenders, and makes the wrong people work to prevent abuse. Remotely (GPS) knowing where an offender is at all times throughout his lifetime can help to prevent that offender from creating new cases of sexual abuse.\n2-Include all known offenders in the management plan-for life. It is wrong to include just those under supervision since the Meagan’s Law was written. People do not ever age out of this behavior so why an old is charge less important than a new charge. Sexual offences are the most under reported crimes (according to the FBI). The fact that a molester has not been arrested recently does not necessarily means he has not offended. In my opinion all offenders should be included in any plan, regardless of when their offense occurred. I believe some states have done this already. \n3-Put all offenders , levels I, II or III on the website . I believe Florida does this. The leveling tool is very poor and pedophiles often end up with only a level I because they did not use force, and they superficially complied with treatment. The way the leveling system works pedophilic “groomers” who do not use force (and are the most busy of all offenders with hundreds of victims) are often not level III’s and therefore are able to have their offense relatively unknown. In New York for example offenders can lawyer up and reduce the “level” they get at their hearing. Molesters can assert they are “non violent”, “sober”, ect, and get the “points” reduced or get the judge to “override” the scale. Currently the public notification system is failing. All offenders of all levels should be on the website. \n4- “Victim Shield Law”. As you know one of the few protections we offer rape victims is “Rape shield laws”, in order to at least try and prevent a rape victim’s sexual history from being put on trial rather than the rapist. In child sexual abuse cases there are no “Rape shield laws” to prevent the victim, or the victim’s family (often the mother) from being made the center of negative attention. In the past defense lawyers for rapists would portray rape victims as promiscuous, today child molester’s lawyers portray victims and victim’s mothers as manipulative, litigious, unreliable, angry, mentally ill, sociopathic, medicated, or undedicated. Because we as a society love to blame women, especially mothers, molesters have been able to harness the misogyny in our culture in order to escape responsibility for their offences. Like the old rape cases that would revolve around the victims sexual past, today molester cases revolve around a child or a mother’s real or fictional problems instead of the focus of attention being the sexual abuse committed by the offender. I do not know if there can ever be a “victim shield law” to prevent the victim/victim’s mother being put on trial rather than the molester, but I know it would help victims avoid being re-traumatized in the system and help society hold sexual offenders accountable. One of the things to always remember with offenders is they are control seekers, and will take any opportunity to attack rather than just defend. They feel entitled to their behavior and see being held accountable as an injustice they are being forced to suffer, and they have zero guilt in harming any number of people (even their children) in order to escape the consequences they deserve.\n5-Plea deals down to “Endangering the welfare of a minor”. Despite the underlying behavior being the sexual abuse of children offenders are often

The laws vary from state to state.  I would check with your local district attorney's office as to your options.

Call either your local police dept. or child protective services I guess.

Actually, Megan's Law doesn't stop abuse. It only names those who are sex offenders. Study after study in the U.S. show that the majority of child sexual abuse is committed by people the child already knows - parents, step parents, family relatives and friends, babysitters, coaches, teachers, youth pastors, etc. So this fact makes it unlikely that you can protect your child from danger by looking at such a registry. You're better off screening the adults who know your child, and being careful which of these adults are alone with your child. They're more likely to offend than some stranger down the street or in the next town over.

Check out V.O.C.A.L. or Victims of Child Abuse Laws. The first thing you need to do is know your rights. CPS in over half of their cases are not there to protect the child they are there to take healthy well adjusted children from good homes on trumped up abuse or neglect charges & make it practically impossible for the parent or parents to get the children back & then get revenue for the State through adopting out the children.\n\nGoogle "Atrocities of CPS"

In US, we can end up in jail if hurt a kid physically, it's considered as child abuse. We punish naughty kid by suspending them, give no permissions to leave house or even bedroom, taking away their allowance, phonecalls, their favorite things such as games, comics, movies, etc. If cannot handle on our own, seek professional help from experts or some institutions, a sort of military school is an option.

If the teen has a family member they trust and can go to - then by all means go.  However, make sure that all forms of abuse have been documented (by writing in a journal and that the other family members can corroborate the documentation with photos of the physical abuse.)\n\nThe parents will be charged and it is NOT a civil matter that will be handled in Family Court - it becomes a Federal matter - and Child Abuse charges will be filed against the parents.  In many jurisdictions - the child will be placed with the other family member instead of being "placed within the system" - thus ending up in foster care.\n\nIf there is NO family member available - please call the following number.  It is toll free:\n\n1-800-4-A-Child\n\nMay God be with you and bless you.  Please, if possible, keep me appraised of what happens.

I would highly doubt that there's a "county law" that would regulate your babysitting.  Counties are rarely involved in that sort of regulation.  \nYour state's legislature may have enacted day care laws and/or your state's department of human services (or whatever it's called in your state) may have enacted regulations for licensing day care centers.  The human service/child services/children & families state agency will have the best information as to whether you need a license for daycare

Speaking as a prior Sex Crimes Detective in Florida:\n\nCall the state abuse hot line and make a report.  Child Protection and the police work in concert to investigate these allegations and they are taken very, very seriously.\n\nIf this has been done and you are not satisfied with the out come you need to do as you have done... Hire a good attorney and let them lean on the police, the state attorney and the Child Protection agency.\n\nI wish you luck, my friend.

If they are in enough danger that they need a weapon, they should go to the police and seek protection.\n\nThe law errs in favor of the child seeking help. If you really know someone who is being abused to the point that they need a weapon, please call the police on their behalf.\n\n.
