Sex Offender and Internet Predator Goes Free
A registered sex offender and Internet predator was released from police custody this week in Ohio, leaving him free to attack another teenage girl.
At toledoblade.com, the details of the case prove disturbing in the least. The man in question had already served time for using the Internet to lure what he thought was a 14-year-old girl into having sex with him. He is 49 years old.
Now the registered sex offender and known Internet predator has been accused of trying to kidnap a 12-year-old girl from the bus stop. The girl remembered his license plate number, and picked him out of a lineup, and yet somehow a jury couldn't see fit to put this man away before he could strike again. His trial ended in a mistrial, and now he'll be free to stalk more little girls at bus stops or in chat rooms.
This kind of situation reflects the inability of law to keep up with the epidemic of child exploitation and abuse that has arisen in recent years. The fact that this man has been allowed to go free is mind boggling.
Until the law can keep up with these criminals, and protect kids and even adults from sex offenders and Internet predators, parents need to keep relying on parental control software.
Awareness Tech's WebWatcher is one of the most highly rated of all parental control software systems. With WebWatcher parents can use website blocking, but can also rely on website recording, chat recording, and email recording to be aware of who their child is talking to and what's going on.
A predator like this will strike again, but at least with parental control software parents and authorities are a little closer to putting him away for good.
