Haggridd asked :
" How do you feel about "Megan's Law" and other laws requiring sex
offenders to register their presence in their community? "

Del :
I don't know about Megan's Law, but I do have an opinion about
requiring sex offenders to register their presence. As a victim of
abuse myself, I know only too well the damage it can do to kids. On
the other hand, I strongly believe in forgiveness. So I'm drawing my
personal line at the recidive. Abuse once, I forget and assume you can
and will change. Abuse again after having been punished once, and I
won't ever trust you again. Simple. So I'm of the opinion that
*recidivists* should have to register their presence.

After all, we have a saying in France : jamais deux sans trois. Never
two without three. And I don't want my kid to be number three.
