Sex Offenders Are Getting Creative

We're not sure if the case that happened last month was unique or if other sex offenders or pedophiles are practicing this disguised or cross dressing tactic.

The event occurred in Sunnyvale, CA. A male sex offender, dressed as a woman, tried to enter a K-8 school campus. The man, Theodore Lorigo, a registered sex offender for kidnapping a child with intent to commit lewd or lascivious acts, was disguised as a woman or cross dressing. He tried to enter the property's campus unnoticed but the headmaster of the school, fortunately blocked him. The sex offender or pedophile, mentioned that he had children of his own and wanted to check out the school for his kids, before admitting them in this particular campus. Luckily, the headmaster thought something was just not right and didn't believe him. The sex offender was eventually arrested.

It goes without saying, that next time you drop your children at school, try to keep an eye on pedophiles that look like they are disguised as a woman or cross dressing… They might very well be male sexual offenders! This is not to say that there aren't females that also fall under that same category. Talk to your children and ask them what they think about their teachers or staff on campus.

Male and Female Sexual Predators in Our Schools

Everyone knows that American schools are inferior in educating it's students, than many other schools around the world. But there is also another issue threatening our children.

Amanda Sotelo, Bexar County

Seems like every other day, a teacher is accused of having sex with underage students. These educators are males as well as females. Some are full-time and some are substitutes. Many jump from one county or state to the other and all are pedophiles! Physical education coaches are not the only pedophiles around… It's the pretty and sexy female instructor or the well dressed fit male ones as well. And for some reason, education facilities are not communicating with each other and informing other schools, nationally, of pedophile school teachers!

Latest one caught was Amanda Sotelo. A 35 year old substitute teacher in Texas. She got pregnant by having sex with a 14 year old student and got arrested on November 1st, for indecency with a child. Some people have this old mentality, especially men, that this 14 year old got lucky sexually and… way to go kid, attitude! WRONG! The sex of the teacher shouldn't make the crime less threatening. It certainly doesn't make it right! Maybe this mentality is also shared by these female pedophile teachers. They assume that society will look the other way… Not so, and especially not now!

This kind of sexual corruption, just makes our children fall even more behind in their grades and undermines our national education system. Parents should get more involved with their children's education and know personally all their educators. It probably is less likely that a sexual pervert will act upon his or her urges, when they personally know the student's parents. Plus schools need to screen their educators better and try to find out if they have any criminal record in any other State, substitutes included!

How Safe is Your Child from Pedophiles?

Fort Lauderdale Police Dept.

Everyone is still talking about the Sandusky case, as more people are held accountable in court, for the on-going crimes they kept secret. But, have parents talked to their children, regarding pedophiles?

Have you as a parent, talked to your children about possible pedophile teachers or coaches in their school? Have you asked them if they have seen any unusual activity or behavior similar to Sandusky's actions? Are any of your kids in the Boy or Girl Scouts? When your child visits the home of their friends, have they seen their friend's parents act inappropriately? When visiting relatives, have you even thought to mention if an uncle or an aunt touched them in a strange way?

Sometimes you have to pull teeth before your children tell you what they have seen or worst what they have experienced, outside your home. You might think that all these questions about pedophiles, might be too much or scare your kids. Not so. You might be surprised at what they know… Plus, it's better if they are aware, than for them to be victims of such a crime. Tell them that those types of secrets are to be shared with you. Make sure they understand that you are concerned and want them to inform you of ANYTHING they might find strange or inappropriate.

One last thing… Educate yourself as a parent, about your surroundings as well. Go to your local police website and check out where the pedophiles AND sexual predators live in your neighborhood. Such websites give out names, types of crime, addresses and even photos of these criminals. Make your children aware and to stay away from them, if the criminals live within walking or biking distance from your home. Do this for your children's safety and yours, as well!
 

Should Children Trick or Treat at Sex Offenders' Front Door?

We all know that you can go to your neighborhood sheriff's website and find out where sex offenders live. But how comfortable are you in having your children, knock on their doors, during Halloween?

Back in the 70's there was the fear of razor blades in apples and poisoned candy. Now, many cities are concerned about sex offenders or pedophiles. For example, in a city in California, there is an ordinance in place that does not allow sex offenders to display halloween decor outside their homes. The sex offenders are also not allowed to open the door if trick or treaters knock. It also prohibits these individuals to light up their lights outside, after dark. Plus, the ordinance also requires sex offenders or pedophiles to place a sign on their doors with one inch lettering. This sign is required to read: "No candy or treats at this residence."

But these cautionary measures for children aren't only in California... In a neighborhood in Florida, a home association motioned to dispatch a security guard to keep an eye or monitor a sex offender's home during Halloween. In Georgia some uniformed guards were placed at a neighborhood's gated entrance, to distribute flyers informing neighbors, where the pedophiles lived.

There are some lawyers already filing lawsuits in courts, stating that these types of laws or ordinances, infringe on the First Amendment rights of pedophiles. What's your view on this issue? Is it worth while for the safety of our children on Halloween? Or does it go overboard and is it unconstitutional against pedophiles?
