Yes I agree. I would ask that people read this below story of mine carefully.
Basically my cousin was placed on the sex offenders register and now has internet and phone activity monitored by the police.
The story is as follows:
My cousin has extreme autism and mental health issues, he is 25 but has a mental age of a ten year old boy. Due to his autism socializing face to face is almost impossible for him, he spends most of his time either playing with his toys in his room or on his computer. What we realized is that he found it much easier to talk online with people via chat rooms because he didn't need to speak face to face, subsequently he made allot of online friends, many of them younger than him because he found it easier to relate to younger kids because of his mind set of being ten tears old.
Basically one day I found out that he had been arrested on acts of grooming and of being a sexual predator. What had happened was that he was speaking to a young girl and had arranged to meet hear at a park to play with her. He had said to the girl online that he couldn't wait to see her so he could hug her and they could play together. As he stepped of the bus at the park he was arrested.
What had happened was that the "young girl" was an undercover police woman on a sting operation, exactly like in the video.
So as a result he was taken to trial and was then placed on the sex offenders register for life, he has to have a councilor to try and make him realize adult dangers. His computer and phone calls are monitored by the police.
To me this is unjust, he knows no different and had no bad intentions.
