This really is a GREAT idea, folks should join the group and see what can be do with this "Letter Writing" campaign.8-7-2010 National:
Super Idea from Member of: Families of Sex Offenders Support Group
"Everyday I meet people who have a boyfriend or a son in the same situation as my son. A teenager who had consensual and mutual gratification with a classmate, only to have the classmate yell 'assault'. In my son's case even the judge and DA claimed that the only crime he committed was 'consensual gratification with someone LEGALLY too young to give consent, altho the texts do show she did'.....they have an age difference of less than 2 years. This is a case of her writing pages (55 of them) of texts over hours enticing, encouraging and inviting over a period of more than 9 hours.
My question....has there ever been a massive letter writing campaign to the nations congressmen to look into these types of cases? I can't help but wonder if we all took a stand and wrote letters and flooded their offices with them, would that made a difference??
So many of us believed in the ERA in the 70's, but I believe it's time for a new ERA....EQUAL RESPONSIBILITY AMENDMENT. If they are truly waging a war on sex crimes then they need to have some 'rules of engagement'.....the person who FIRST sent the text, or picture, or ???, should be the person charged. In too many cases, the "victim is often the predator".
From what I understand Congress will soon be let out for the month of August (?) and the congressmen/women will be heading back to their home states. I plan to write, I hope we can organize this into a national event for families of sex offenders. How do we start? Any Ideas??" ..Source..
