The Georgia Bus Stop Law

As many of you probably already know prosecuters are going to seek the death penalty for George David Edenfield, 32, who has a prior child molestation conviction from 1997, and his parents, David (convicted of incest in 1994) and Peggy Edenfield. This is because of their involvment in the abduction, molestation, and murder of six year old Christopher Michael Barrios. I am sure as time passes we will learn more of the gruesome details of how this child died. Personally I believe it's important for those details to be made public because we should all bear witness to how this child mercilessly suffered and died at the hands of three adults. Hopefully it will motivate people to do something about the continued harvesting of our children by sexual deviants.

Apparently the Edenfield's lived less than six hundred feet from the school bus stop that Christopher used to go to school. There was a law passed in Georgia that stipulated no sex-offender could live within 1,000 feet of a bus stop, but a lawsuit prompted Federal Judge Clarence Cooper to block that provision from taking effect.

The law is somewhat controversial and will become even more passionately debated now. In the meantime arm yourself with knowledge about what sex offenders are living around you.

I agree. And I think the only way we can get the laws we want enacted is to all stick together and make our demands be known. We must scream louder until the powers that be cannot think for the sound of us united in defense of our children.

Btw, there's a crazy lunatic pedo running loose in the blogosphere, preying on everyone who writes about this issue. Shelly's the name and IT pretends to be a female non-pedo who just happens to devote her life to defending rapists. It'll probably show up here too.

I heard someone say recently how we want our children to grow up feeling safe. However, the truth of the matter is that our kids live in an unsafe world - more now than ever before. It is no wonder that we are seeing anxiety in kids like we do.
