I had been considering making this post for a few weeks now. Every time some one is in the news for sexual crimes, the comments are all generally the same. Torture and kill him, that we're all incurable and need to just be put down like rabid dogs. I've pretty much spent the last 10 years living in total fear, afraid that at any moment some psycho hell bent on a 'revenge mission' is going to come and kill me simply because he saw my face on the internet. Then a few weeks ago I see this: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18262957/page/1 which shows that there really are people out there who think like that. The only thing keeping these people away from me is the fact that they don't want to spend their life in prison to get this so called revenge. That's goddamn terrifying. What's more terrifying is that this behavior is pretty much supported by the vast majority of the population, thanks largely to the media spinning everyone up into a hate frenzy.
I was still a child when I committed my crimes as well. I went through a treatment plan as well. I've never been in danger of relapse, and not every sexual offense is based on sexual desire (something the general public doesn't seem to understand). You treat this like any other 'sickness', by understanding it and preventing the behaviors or situations that lead to the desire to offend in the first place, and it's a lot easier than you might think. As much as the lynch mob would like to believe, not everyone is incapable of control just because they committed a sex offense in the past. I will give you that there are some people who just don't care. I'm all for keeping these people locked up just like everyone else. If they don't want to help themselves, then they can't be helped.
I'm almost 28, have been registered for 9 years now. This is my last year. Normally it's for life, I was still a minor when I committed (was charged and adjudicated as well) my offense and it is not usual procedure, but was part of the deal my lawyer made with the prosecutor. I've been married almost 10 years, have a son who is starting third grade next year and have mostly stayed out of trouble (I got caught with weed once, and criminal mischief another time). I would like to say I've been a productive member of society but I'll be damned if I can find a job as a registered sex offender. I have no special training or anything, don't even have my GED (largely as a result of the charge and subsequent treatment program, it's a long story). I have nothing to offer, every other applicant has at least my resume, but they don't have registered sex offender attached to their application.
My wife knows, my brother and family (that still has anything to do with me) knows of course.. Two of my friends who I've known since we were kids, knows. But no one else really. Anyone who finds out turns it into a joke. Like two 'friends' would come over and then one would tell me a 'secret' about the other, that he was a sex offender and see how I react. They'd carry on the joke, until they would 'slip' and say the wrong charge, the slip would of course be MY charge and MY victim instead of the friend's made up one. I think another of my friends knows, he keeps making posts about how much he hates rapists and molesters and stuff. He told a story about some guy in the prison he was in who was in there for molesting a young girl and that he found out that day the old guy had been killed in a prison fight and basically just said good riddance.
I could go on and on but I guess this is enough, that's mostly what's been on my mind and the thread I was considering making.
I made that OP, and just to clarify I wanted to get the Shroomery community's opinion on such a thing. I actually just read it in some crime novel. I'm definitely not capable of killing.
