It’s been reported that we are approaching 1 million registered sex offenders in communities throughout the country. To protect communities, states have a sexual offender registry which was enacted to keep track of registered offenders, reduce re-offending, and to deter individuals not on the registry from committing sexual offenses. Tonight, Dr. Phil will discuss whether or not the sex offender registry is actually succeeding in what it was intended to do. Dr. Phil will speak with Dani, a parent who recently discovered a registered sex offender, convicted of an offense against a 12 year old girl years earlier, was performing maintenance duties as an independent contractor, at her children’s private Christian School. She claims the registry did not stop him from finding an employment at a school. Dr. Phil will also meet Taylor, the 12 year old girl, who is now an adult, and says she didn’t want to remain anonymous because she wants to lawmakers to know more needs to be done to protect children from those on the registry. Dr. Phil will also speak with Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, a 30th Circuit Court for Ingham County, Michigan, who shares why she believes the sex offender registry is a complete false sense of security, and does not protect the communities it aims to keep safe.
