On the Sex Offender Issues blog, the author calls the “Adam Walsh Reauthorization Act of 2012” the money pit. In the bill Rep Sensenbrenner wants $331 Million to reauthorize certain programs established by the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. After 5-years the author states, multiple tons of money have been spent with not one ounce of proof that it’s working. This bill would require the U.S. Marshals Service to assist states in finding and apprehending sex offenders who violate registration requirements. According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, there are about 100,000 sex offenders whose whereabouts are unknown to local law enforcement. Why is that surprising when the system makes it almost impossible for a registrant to find a place to live. Nobody wants them. And being listed on the Internet, they become a target. Now if the system was tailored to the keep track of the 5% that are considered potentially dangerous that means 36,992 sex offenders who are currently lost in the massive list of 739,853 offenders could be easily managed. 36,992 is significantly lower than the current 100,000 number that is unaccounted for. Since the falsely accused have to accept that they are now felons why not let them prove to society that they are not as they were accused, instead we hinder them from being productive members of society. Let the probation officers do their jobs and evaluate the parolees rather than the uninformed and uneducated public emotions.
