Govenor Blasts Federal Judge for Facebook Sex Offender Ruling

"It's offensive that the court would rule that the rights of sex predators are more important than the rights of innocent children.

Maddad, I agree, where is that?! Children should be able to browse the web without the threat of sex offenders. Sometimes we think we have done all we can to protect our children's browsing, but sometimes we overlook something that is important when we set our security settings on our computer. There should be laws in place to protect our children because of our own failings.

One of the things I make it a point to do is this: If I want to use a video or anything I think might stir up age issues, I check to make sure there is nothing in the videos that a court of law would consider age issues. Very important to remember.

Also, sometimes what I think I see, is not really what I see and then I make an uninformed decision. Another thing I have to remember. Make sure I get all of the facts first before I decide to do something that might be controversial.

There should be laws in place to protect our children because of our own failings.

I agree, but there should also be equal treatment under the law. There are other ways to protect the children than by taking away the rights of others. An eighteen year old dating a sixteen year old can, in some states can become listed as a "sex offender" depending on the courts and their respective parents. That person will carry around that label all their life. Should not he be able to use social media?

Overall this is a very sticky situation. We do need to protect children. We just need to craft our laws more carefully so as not to infringe upon our constitutionally guaranteed rights.

Also remember that the constitution does not give us these rights, but makes a point that they are implicit human rights.
