Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Up to and including the day of Halloween, Foxnews and CNN reported over and over what the efforts the government was going to do about sex offenders was supposed to do and not to do while children/minors were doing their annual candy run. Fox reported it so often that I think I memorized the dialog of what the offender could and couldn't do.
Not so the local news, not the broadcast or print, but then, I'm not really surprised. We seem to be able to swallow/tolerate that we have bus drivers drived our very cherished children to and from school that either molested other children, or, doing drugs. I'm sure other news was more important such as the pot holes and water outages, leaving the question of where the offenders would be and if your children would be safe from harm. Perhaps next year, they'll pick up from national news and question what the convicted offenders should and shouldn't be doing while your children are doing their annual collection of sweet things.
In the meantime, I applaud the media for 'outing' the likes of those still working within the government that have been convicted of child molestation. I hope that they continue to keep the pressure on the agencies until these people are placed where they have no contact with minors.
The media is a very power instrument if properly used. Many of us know where child sexual offenders work within the government. We could call the media and let them know where these people are and if they have contact with children. Once the public learns about the issues, you can be sure that change will take place. We can't continue to sit back and accept status quo where the safety and well being of our children are concerned.
