Between our society and our justice system something has really run amuck! I am all for rapists, pedophiles and other perverts being put in jail where they belong. I am also for protecting our children from such people. Having a child...okay, a teenager...labeled as a sex offender and lumped in with dangerous predators is just wrong. The below link tells the story of a friend's son. He was just doing what guys his age do. He was deceived by the girl about his age, and is now paying much higher a price than he should, honestly, be paying.

As you will see, something needs to be done! Our laws need changing and kids like Ricky need to be free to be teens without worrying about being wrongly stigmatized for life.
