Personal Reflection

What have i learned? When I first started looking up sex offenders i did not know much. The only thing that i was familiar was the definition. The more I would research the more interesting the topic became. I Have learned so many things about this topic. For example i did not know that i could go into the Internet and look up sex offenders that live around my house and town. What most surprised me was when I learned that the majority of the sex offenders are friends and family members.
How do i feel about this topic now? I am very happy with my topic. Its a topic that really caught my attention. I feel that i need to learn more about this topic, because its a big problem in this world. Every time I read a story of children getting abuse it makes my feel very gloomy. I get very scared just by thinking that a sex offender could be leaving around or my loved once.
What I wander? The more I learn about this topic the more I wander how a sex offender can hurt Innocent little girl's. I also wander how the family's of the victim's feel. How does the family of the sex offenders react ofter knowing the damage the sex offender has caused. I also wander which states have the highest rate of sex offenders.

True Story

In 2006 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford from Florida was kidnapped out of her own house by a sex offender named John Evander Cauey. Who sexually assaulted Jessica. John buried her alive. "Jessica's Law" was created. "Jessica's law" requires tracking sex offenders more closely and stricter sentences.

On Friday July 24, 1994, 7-year-old Megan Nicloe Kanka was kidnapped by her neighbor Jesse Timmendequas. He took her into his house and raped and strangled her. He stuffed her body into a plastic toy chest and dumped it in a nearby park. Jesse Timmendequas was a two-time registered sex offender before he raped Megan. He lived across the street from Megan's house
with two more sex offenders, who he met in prison. No one in the neighborhood new they were living by sex offenders.

Library Research

You and your family could be living in the same neighborhood where a sex offender lives! Every kid and adult should be on Alert for sex offenders. In fact, out of 100%, 59% of cases occur among friends. Thirty-four percent of cases occur within their own families. Seven percent of cases occur within strangers. Some of the stated have banned registered sex offenders from living near public places where children can gather such as schools, day care and parks. making it very hard for sex offenders to find a place to live. You could murder someone and still live in the same place or be a drug dealer, but not a sex offender. Sex offenders still face penalties after serving their sentences. Including some penalties that don't apply to people who murder.

Video Review (Home Depot)

"In May 29, 2007 a women who hired Home Depot to fix her kitchen cabinets said that she was surprised when a convicted sex offender showed up to do the work." I choose this video because Home Depot is a very well known store where lots of family's like to buy things for there houses. This Video gives me a big message; You well never know when you well be close to a sex offenders. Every kid should be aware and not truest everyone.

Introduction

I choose the topic sex offenders because i don't know much about them. I think the word's sex offenders means someone that sexually assault's someone else with words or actions. I also think every adult showed be aware of sex offenders living around there neighbourhoods.
One thing that I mostly hate in this world, is people that take advantage of others Specially kids!! It tares my heart knowing kids get abused. I would like to know if I'm a immediate danger of an assault sex offender.
