What is wrong with putting sex offenders in jail? Turning them loose in society and making them promise to be good to just prey on children is a breakdown in our justice system.I am not sure this accomplishes anything. First of all you need to teach your child how to protect themselves. You cannot be with them all the time. And secondly, people are so focused on children being molested by strangers, they forget or do not know that most of the time children are not molested by registered sex offenders, but by family members and family friends.
