Our goal is to bring awareness to the public about violent juvenile sex offender laws not in place.
THERE IS A DANGER IN OUR COMUNTIES THAT MOST OF US, ARE NEVER AWARE OF, A DANGER TO CHILDREN EVERY WHERE (IN OUR SCHOOLS, NEIGHBORHOODS, PLAYGROUNDS AND OUR CHURCHES).
PLEASE READ ON TO LEARN WHERE THE DANGER IS AND GIVE YOUR SUPPORT BY SIGNING THESE PETITIONS TO HELP KEEP OUR CHILDREN SAFE.
I am the mother of a 6 year old boy that was a victim of rape by a 15 year old teenager. The teenager confessed, charged, and found guilty for rape of of child, and sentenced. The sentencing took place in November of 2008. Recently the teen went up for release and is due to return back to the community soon. He will be allowed to return to the public school systems and ride the school buses with other children. He will not go on the sex offenders list nor will he be treated as a sex offender he will return as if nothing happened. I am concerned for the safety of our children. There is no sign on a sex offender’s head that says what they have done and for this reason there needs to be laws to protect our children from all sex offenders including violent juvenile sex offenders. Remember we are talking about violent.
The teen that raped my son will be released soon and he will be moving in to a neighborhood in a county in the state of Tennessee!!! As you look out your window and see a new teen in your neighborhood just remember it could be him. You have no right to know if it is him because our laws are currently set up to protect him and his name and other teens that do the same crimes. When the school bus runs and you put your child on the bus remember this teen will be on a school bus in Tennessee and we have no right to know he is on the bus with our children.
I am in Crossville TN. I have petitions going around for people that are for this registry most people are unaware of this not in affect and don't know violent juvenile sex offenders don't have to register. Just assumed they did just as I did. Please read more about the bills that I feel should be passed under the information tab.
Thank You,
Tiffany S.Lightsey
