Currently laws of sentancing in Ohio are not stiff enough to rehabiltate sexually oriented offenders. First time offenders typically receive the minimum sentance which means little time served. Child molesters typically serve 60 months. Rapists serve 51 months. These offenders are warehoused without any rehabilitation programs, and then released to go on with their lives. The current registration laws are easy to get by as weel. They have to register and remain register for 10 years, but nobody checks to make sure the offender stays current on their registration so they couold move and possibly never get caught.

I am preparing to hand these names over to our local representatives to demand that they face the reality of these sentencing gaps.

Seeing this level of support reminds me that I am not alone in my anger over how these predators are handled. This momentum proves that people are finally ready to demand real safety for our children.

The system is broken. My tax dollars should not be paying to feed these people just so they can get out and do it all over again.
