Problem is that for every 1 incident reported there are estimated to be up to 30 unreported. Sooooooooo I can't tolerate the idea of expecting these individuals to do what is "right and "good" for the community by narcing on themselves.
I also have heard that the woman who harbored Lunsford's killer will not be charged with anything more serious than obstructing justice. So they are trying to pass legislation that makes the act of harboring a sex offender/predator a crime as well. |
