Hi Everyone!!
Click on THIS to read the story.
Here's a quote from Amie.
"At this very moment, somewhere in this country, a child's heart is being stolen. He or she is young, afraid, confused and feeling dirty. That child is being terrorized by the most horrible kind of criminal. It happens every day. And it still hurts me deeply to hear that another kid is experiencing the same kind of pain that I did at 8 years old."
What do YOU think? Do you agree with what Amie is trying to do?
GREAT BIG HUG
Craig!!

I do agree to a point.
However, if there is appropriate remorse shown and rehabilitation is successful, then in those cases (and those cases only), I believe that there should be a limit on the period the person is shown on any offenders list.

I agree with what she is doing. I think shes awesome for doing this.
But after having thought of this for a little, I relized that I have an old friend who did something horrible like this(and a law like this would affect him). He is really changed from all the of the rehabilitation he has gone through. He would never do it again. He sees all the pain it put him through, all the pain it put his family through. All the pain he put that girl through.

Re: My Hat Off To 17 Year Old Amie Zyla
i agree with her, and i think that there should be stricter laws in canada for juevinal sexual offenders. My cousin is one, and he was never charged even tho he molested me for four years. They just recored the incident and and said that it would never stick in court. So he never even got help for it. So if it would never stick in court. 4 years of it, what kind of laws do we have agianst it? to this day it is a law i do not understand, and i do not understnad why he couldnt have been punished, he did something horrible and was never puinshed. We do not leave him alone with my 2 young neices for fear of it happening again. and i know when i have my children, there will be strict rules that will be enforced at all times with him around my children, wether they are boys or girls, because the risk of him doing it agian is soooo high. I dont think we, the pubilc, realize just how high the risk is of juvinile sex offenders reoffending is, even in their youth. Especially in their youth when their identies are protected by the YOA. its a scary thought, and we need to have tougher laws against it and something to help us proctect our kids, and our commuities.

I'm pretty mixed here.
Just because someone does something as a youth, in my opinion, doesn't mean that they will later do it as an adult. Although you may not think so, some people do overcome and learn from there mistakes.
But I also think that if you are capable of such a heinous crime, people should be aware of what you might be capable of.
I really just don't know.
