Maryland Passes Jessica's Law
Our group from North Carolina sends much congratulations to Maryland!!
Finally, it seems that the Maryland General Assembly is headed in the right direction for stricter laws regarding sex offenders. There are other guide lines that can be done to help bridge some gaps. Adam Walsh Act would help fill in these gaps well as monetary bonus for state. Our group was glad to assist in Jessica's Law for Maryland. We hope that Maryland General Assembly will keep moving forward in a positive direction for strict laws and guide lines of sex offenders.
Still, we are fighting in North Carolina for Jessica's Law well as the Adam Walsh Act.
North Carolina has 111,000 children yearly reported "Abused" and "Neglected.” Presently, 10,000 registered "Sex Offenders" move to a new address or jobs daily. Children, women, elderly, incapacitated or handicapped people are especially at risk from sexual predators. North Carolina is no different; our city's have large number of registered sexual offenders.
We hope that North Carolina lawmakers will take a stand for tougher laws against child predators. This past year, we voiced our outraged to North Carolina lawmakers for failing to provide stricter laws against sex offenders. Remember, North Carolina General Assembly our children should not be viewed as Democratic or Republican issues this is a human safety issue. Please do not allow politics and compromise to get in the way of protecting our families. Hopefully, our state lawmakers will heed the call and pass "Jessica Lunsford Act for NC ".
We need to give our full support to Rep. Tim Moore (R- Cleveland County) along with Rep. Julia Howard (R-Davie, Iredell Counties), Rep. Debbie Clary (R-Cleveland, Gaston counties), and Rep. Charles Thomas (R-Buncombe County) help pass House Bill 933.
Individuals that commit sexual crimes against children need incarceration or strict comprehensive monitoring.
Often, administration has failed to let law enforcement know of the placement of paroled sex offenders in their communities. Allowing violent sex offenders to go free and not providing mandatory hearings, stricter penalties for non-compliances. Has allowed dangerous parolees to remain free, even after they violated parole.
Presently our state lawmakers are inconclusive towards Jessica's Law. If our lawmakers would take the following steps this would be step in right direction.
Passing of House Bill 933, which will strength our current laws of sex offenders.
North Carolina Lawmakers should take advantage of the Adam Walsh Act and use the monetary bonus payment available to those states complying with the act sooner than its three-year timeline. Rather than a 10 percent reduction in Justice Assistance Grants and certain reductions of Sex Offender Management Assistance Program monies for those states that do not comply with Adam Walsh Act.
Over the past several years, I have given time to push for tougher laws, regarding sex crimes, especially sexual predators. Personally, I have worked with sexually abused children and have seen the effects. Words cannot even begin to describe seeing the rape of child’s innocent soul. The soul is amputated and takes a lifetime to repair, if ever!
