Rapists and Your Children

So, rape is a crime. We know this. Under different categories of sexual assault, in different states, it can be a felony, or misdemeanor. If the accused is convicted, there is some prison time, perhaps some offender treatment.

The rapist is removed from society and punished because he is a danger.

If you have been accused as a sex offender you will be flagged by some neighborhoods, especially if near a school or daycare center. In Florida, thanks to the Jessica Lunsford Act, a sex offender will never be employed by the school district.

But...if your child's father is a rapist, sex offender, sexual assaulter, or whatever the hell you want to call him, he gets access to his own child[ren].

What's wrong with this picture?

My ex is a rapist. He wasn't convicted. I never said anything immediately after it happened to ME. I'm saying something now though---because he wants my kid.

Am I retaliating? Am I a vindictive-bitch-alienator?

No--unless you don't agree with protecting your child from a rapist.
