ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia sex offenders could soon be removed from
popular online social networking sites.
State Rep. Rob Teilhet is introducing a measure Tuesday that
would allow the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to send sex
offenders' information to Facebook, MySpace and other sites.
The sites could then remove their information, ban them from
creating profiles and notify state authorities of any suspicious
activity.
Teilhet, a Smyrna Democrat running for attorney general, said
the proposal will help clear the Internet of dangerous child
predators.
"The Internet is a powerful social and educational tool for our
children. It should not be a danger-zone populated by pedophiles."
A similar proposal has already been adopted in New York and
others are being considered in California and Oklahoma.

Why noy register dope dealers and murders??? Aren't they a danger? The people on the register, are basically on a "social" death sentance. Bid mouth politician don't have any real issues to stand on. The more they talk about Child molesters the less the public looks at their other policies,which the dont have any. So, lets pick on the molesters and get re-elected because Joe public is a idiot. PEOPLE....Take care of your own children!!!! The're Yours, Take responsibility!!!
This is going to be another on of uninforcable laws on the books to make people feel good and give others a false sense of security. This will just hurt more innocent people who think they're protected by it. Get real!!!!!
I agree with Whatever, he/she makes a great point. With my children I only have a few list of people they can stay with and a huge list of people they can not. Because sex offenders are not always registered and closer than you think. Protect your children, your the only one responsible for them. And I think this law will help but is not the answer.
No Credit Check. Instant Approval.
