VT - Law Signed To Protect Child From Sex Offenders

ADVERTISEMENTS

View the article here So how exactly is this law going to "protect" children? It's not. It's only going to punish people longer, after the fact!

This man was on the registry, and was a known sex offender, and the family knew that. And like usual, they name a law after the child "BROOKE'S LAW" to appease the family, but does nothing to prevent crimes in the first place. Congress has just lost touch with reality, IMO.

As stated in the title of this article, the intent is to "protect children," yet this will not do that, it will only punish offenders, and that is not protecting them, now is it?
