I was hestiant to post this since a very brief comment on an Israeli blog on child abuse was deleted. It was in direct response to another comment regarding child abuse in Jerusalem. This IS NOT to tarnish the Jewish community, Israel, or any religion. Child abuse crosses all locations and religious groups. NO community is immune to it, sadly.
I just find it ironic that people would be more concerned with image than with protecting children. Really, if even the worst of the worst prison inmates beat the crap out of child killers can't decent people at least try to prevent kids from sex offenders? Reconize the threats, even if they happen in a deeply religious community?
Next month marks the 26th anniversary of my nextdoor neighbor's nine-year old daughter who was stabbed repeatedly, and sodomized. Due to a police blunder he will be eligible for parole in New York State in 2012. I have been following his release date, including earliest release date on the NYS Corrections inmate look-up for a few years now. I was shocked to learn that Israel doesn't have a Sex Offender Registry.
I recently checked to see how many sex offenders live in in the same ZIP code as Levi Aron, accused killer of eight-year old Leiby Kletzky. Granted, this was difficult since NYC had too many street names that are numbers, with east, west etc. and then the actual house number. But assuming I got the correct ZIP code, there are several, including some involving children as young as seven. If anyone can find the exact ZIP, just go the New York State Sex Offender Registry and type the ZIP code in. You'll find the sex offender's information, picture, and exact address.
While Leiby Kletzky was not, according to most media accounts, sexually abused, many child killer's do. I read this article from the Jerusalem Post, which was published earlier this year. I was shocked to learn that Israel does not have a Sex Offender Registry. More in another post on Tnu Ligdol Besheket.
