I understand the danger and the reasoning behind it, but that doesn’t make it right or just, especially because any conviction even remotely connected to sex can get you on the list.

One of those notices came to our neighborhood a year or so ago and freaked everyone out. I actually researched the kid’s crime (just on Google, wasn’t hard at all) and found the details. He was 19, his girlfriend was 17. It’s not hard to connect those dots. He’s already been in jail for two years and now he has this hanging over his head. BTW, they were both still in high school.

Not saying that they’re all that harmless, but there’s no way to tell from a freakin postcard. We have definitely gone overboard on the whole ZERO-TOLERANCE idea.
