I plead guilty and was given a choice between juvenile "prison" or treatment. I chose treatment. I have never reoffended or even been accused of any form of seed crime since. In fact my risk level is set as N/A. I live in Minnesota. At the age of 18 I was released from probation being told I was now forced to register as a sex offender as an adult for a crime I committed as a juvenile. Of which I have now been told should never have happened having to register for a juvenile crime. I am now 32 years old. Finding a job has proven near impossible. Finding a landlord willing to rent to me is a long and arduous task. I have been shunned by my biological family. I'm thankful that I at least have friends who are loyal and do not judge me for my juvenile crime. They to me are my family. I finally met a woman who looks past the label and sees me for who I am and not for what I have done. We got married and had a child together, only to have cps come knocking on our door to begin and investigation as whether or not I am a danger to my son, again stemming from a juvenile crime at the age of 13. I did their psychosexual evaluation and was labeled as not dangerous to children. From there my wife and I were subjected to further harassment, including cps forcing us to work with a public health nurse, threat of losing our son if we had to reschedule a doctors appointment for him during the winter time because we utilize the public transportation service, neither of us have a drivers license and we didn't want to bring our son out into below 0 temperatures, my wife was forced to see a mental health specialist for absolutely no reason other than the fact that she is married to a registered sex offender, and then forced into therapy because "there must be something wrong with you". During the process I was fired from the first job I was able to obtain in 7 years because it was " mandatory "for me to be present during ALL cps meetings regardless of my work schedule. Pardon the language but, when the hell does this harassment shit stop? For months following all of this there was extreme tension in the relationship with my wife to the point that we almost went through a divorce. Thankfully things between her and I have gotten back on track but the point remains. When does it stop?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037283511791624881.post-87034866377989100962014-02-28T15:46:05.174-05:002014-02-28T15:46:05.174-05:00How absurd is it that one must register after bein...How absurd is it that one must register after being charged - NOT CONVICTED - of kidnapping.

To remove bias from this, the definition should not be based up a requirement for belonging to a race, or a religion or a nation. The definition should be based upon numbers. So, definition of genocide should begin:<br /><br />Genocide is “the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of any significantly large group”, and then debate can ensue as to how large a group it must be to qualify.<br /><br />Genocide comes in levels and degrees. It is best known for the most extreme degree of simply trying to kill all members of the group. But that is one end of the spectrum of what qualifies as genocide and when genocide begins, it usually begins at the milder side and slowly increases towards the goal of killing all members of the group.<br /><br />When deliberate coordinated actions are taken against an entire group to:<br />• Denying them the ability to earn a living<br />• Denying them housing<br />• Denying them the right to bear and raise children<br />• Transferring their children away from them<br />• Inflict serious mental harm, often through extreme social ostracism<br />• To disenfranchise them from politics<br />• To disenfranchise them from society<br />• To disenfranchise them from equal protection of the laws and constitutional rights<br />• To destroy the essential foundations of their ability to live<br />• Make it impossible for them to live, to function, disintegrating all aspects of their live, political, social, culture, economic, personal security, liberty, health, dignity; with an increasing number of the group being outright killed<br />• To dehumanize them so that others feel it is okay to do this to all members of that group<br /><br />These are the beginning stages of genocide.<br /><br />What is being done to registered sex offenders is the first stages of planned genocide of the group labeled as sex offenders.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861300397366952235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037283511791624881.post-28743888029186362452013-07-25T08:33:22.414-04:002013-07-25T08:33:22.414-04:00I would suggest you call the county and ask for ch...I would suggest you call the county and ask for child protection intake.

At the end of this blog I wrote that there might be some good news, and indeed there is. Many professionals who work in this field have recognized the problems that were inadvertently created by this overreaching legislation. Over the last six months mental health professionals, child protection authorities, probation agents, county attorneys, judges, and representatives from the MN Department of Human Services have come together and advised state legislators that the law that was passed last year contained language and outcomes that were unintended. The consequences have not only been unwarranted disruptions in the families of former offenders, it has been unnecessarily burdensome to county authorities. Legislators heard the concerns and there is a bill currently before the Minnesota legislature that, if passed and signed by the governor, will roll back the scope of this legislation. Because the bill is still subject to the legislative process, it would be premature to predict the outcome, but at the end of the legislative session this month, I will provide an update. There is every reason to be hopeful. Thank you for sharing your story and reinforcing the point that misguided laws might do more harm than good. Best wishes. – Jon Brandt<br />SAJRT Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979090355557632191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037283511791624881.post-39711312628925016432013-04-30T13:48:27.852-04:002013-04-30T13:48:27.852-04:00here is what i would like to know.

These pols will learn that as their net widens, they will reach their own "tipping point" and the backlash from voters will not be kind to them. Ironically, it is only a matter of time before a MN politician finds himself under the control of these laws.
