In a breaking story today, Shasta Groene, the 8-year-old girl whose mother, oldest brother and the mother's boyfriend were bludgeoned to death at their home six weeks ago, was found alive at a Denny's restaurant early this morning. The fate of her brother Dylan, is still unknown but authorities fear the worst. Shasta was found to be in the company of Joseph Edward Duncan III, a registered sex offender. Duncan's criminal history goes back to 1980, where he was prosecuted and convicted of raping a 14-year-old boy in Washington state when he was 16 years old. Duncan has a long history of sexual offenses. He was arrested in Becker County, Minn., in April 2005 for allegedly molesting a 7-year-old boy, and served 14 years in prison for raping a 14-year-old boy in Washington state in 1980. Duncan was out on bail from Minnesota. Hmmm, if he had been held, would the family still be alive??? You decide...I am sure the judge that granted Duncan's bail is questioning that decision! The laws for sex offenders need to be rewritten. They are way to lenient. Currently the laws for sex offenders lump the next three scenarios together: -An individual inappropriately touches or has a child touch him or her. -A man rapes a woman. -An 18 year old high school male has a sexual relationship with a 17 year old female with whom he had been going out with the entire time they were in high school (high school sweethearts) gets charged with statutory rape. Even if the 17 year old girl does not want charges filed. The first two scenarios need to face the harshest punishment. The third one does not. But under the current laws, they all face the same. Sexual predators should be identified by a National Sex Offenders Database. Currently California has a database. Megan's Law Database Sexual predators need to be sentenced and put in prison. If and when they get out, the should wearing an electronic ankle monitoring device. If they commit a second crime of sexual nature, they should be put to death. Why fill up prisons with a group of individuals that are nothing more than a wart on the ass of humanity.
