We are focused on bringing awareness to the collateral damage suffered by the families of registered former sexual offenders. For years we have endured law after law being passed to criminalize what began in California in the 1930s as a registry of 11 types of offenses and is now raised to more than 189 "crimes!"

While proponents of the sex offender registry scramble to find even one case where the registry has protected a child, the children of registrants, numbering into the hundreds of thousands, suffer daily. One study found the following:

When asked, children of registrants stated that because their family member was listed in the public registry:

47% had suffered harassment by others

59% were ridiculed by others

52% suffered teasing by others

22% were physically attacked by others

65% feel left out with other children

77% suffer depression

73% feel anxiety

63% suffer from fear

13% have suicidal tendencies

80% have anger issues

When you read statistics like these we have to ask:

Are we neglecting the welfare of these children or perhaps much worse, encouraging such behavior leading to children becoming social outcasts due to the public registry.

We must demand more education and fewer laws!
