MySpace Agrees to Share Sex Offender Data

mikesd81 writes "The Seattle Times is reporting that MySpace will be providing a number of state attorney generals with data on registered sex offenders who use their site. Attorney generals from eight states demanded last week that the company provide data on how many registered sex offenders are using the site and where they live. MySpace obtained the data from Sentinel Tech Holding Corp., which the company partnered with in December to build a database with information on sex offenders. Attorneys general in North Carolina, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylvania asked for the Sentinel data last week."

Let's try a little perspective. You get a phone call at work saying your wife is in critical condition because someone on a PCP binge raped her for 6 hours and threw her out of a mooving car. You spend the next 6 months at the hospital every moment you can, while she sits as a vegetable in a coma. In the meantime, your kids are neglected, not only because you are spending what time you can with your wife, but they don't have their mother around... then she wakes up. While over the next year, through physical therapy, she gets physically better, but she doesn't talk... to you or anybody else. Most of her day is spent crying. She pulls away when you try to touch her. She can't even sleep in the same bed as you. The kids not being able to cope become deliquent. One of them starts doing heroin... and soon you learn they have HIV. Your wife eventually leaves because she can't cause you or the family anymore pain. Another kid drops out of school.

For the rest of your life, every day, you won't be able to have a moment where you feel ok. The life you had is gone. All inclination to pick up the pieces and start over is gone.

Tell me how forgiving you are going to be... how forgiving you SHOULD be?
