One thing that these people forget to mention when reciting their claims that most victims of child sexual abuse are abused by people known to them and known to their parents, is that many of those who victimize start out as strangers to the parents and their children. If every parent checked out every adult that was involved in their child’s life (even school teachers, etc.), they’d likely avoid allowing certain people to become involved in their child’s life. These people groom the families as well as the children, gain their trust, and they’re no longer a “stranger”.

It doesn’t mean that they didn’t start out as a stranger.

Personally, I not only plan to make it perfectly clear to any school, camp, etc. that my kids are ever involved in that I fully expect them to do thorough background checks on ALL employees, but I will be doing my own checks on anyone who will be in direct contact with my children through schools or any program. Anyone who becomes friendly with my family, any friend’s house that my children will be sleeping over, etc. will also be checked thoroughly. Over-protective? Maybe. But if any one of my children is exploited by any adult anywhere, you bet your ass that these SOSENites will be the first ones to tell me it was my fault that it happened… right before they claim that my child probably enjoyed it and that I’m turning them into a “professional victim”. Also, doing thorough checks will help ensure that I don’t become the “vigilante” I’ve been accused of being… really, anyone who tries to gain access to one of my children and is thwarted because I found them on the SOR should thank their lucky stars, because they’re far better off with me reporting them to their PO before something happens than they would be if I got hold of them after something happened.

As for Logan… would anyone be surprised if it ever turned out that he was one of those listed on Wikisposure under a different screen name? I certainly wouldn’t.
