ReplyDeleteI agree that sex offenders are destined for the rest of his life should be.
I think that in some cases (but not all), there is a middle ground in the probation supervision and education should be emphasized.
In some cases, this is the first signs of violent behavior. And so we had a very close watch to keep and how you can develop further see.
In other cases, these errors can be empty even teenagers. Payments are some errors, but can not destroy the rest of his life.
