"We wouldn't want to unnecessarily frighten the public with inaccurate stereotypes that do not fit the facts, would we?"<br />Speaking of, I feel similarly re Kaufman's work w adol SOs demonstrating/documenting "The Surveillance Effect", (and other negative impacts from Registration especially) on adolescents, as well as powerful quotes from the adolescents themselves...(see NEARI.org's website)...Andy Hudak (Whitefish, Mt)MtMaestrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415673975112107419noreply@blogger.com
