Sex offender removal from social sites:

It seems that the sex offenders from our favorite MySpace bashing state of Connecticut were one step ahead of the clueless administration, especially our good friend State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal.

Connecticut just recently passed a law that said registered sex offenders not only have to surrender their names, which was in the old law but now also have to surrender their e-mail addresses also to make sure they’re not on social sites like MySpace and Facebook. Why wasn’t this in the old law to begin with? Oh, that’s right, because as I’ve shown time and time again AG Blumenthal is clueless when it comes to these matters and only uses sex offenders on social sites as a crutch to garner votes.

Let’s hear from Blumenthal himself…

“Previous to now, we used simply names. Now, we’re using e-mail addresses, so we can take the e-mail addresses and simply cross-check what appears on Facebook or MySpace with the State Police,” said Attorney General Richard Blumenthal [D] of Connecticut.

Just now? That’s ridiculous and he’s talking like he should be proud of this fact. However, it still doesn’t address the parents that don’t monitor their kids’ web activities, the registered sex offenders who don’t give their real info or the sex offenders who have yet to be caught.

Don’t believe the hype citizens of Connecticut.
