At the same time. Each state has different laws and levels of sex offenders. I too would be against parents who rape a person. At the same time I don't think we should lump them all together. The lower level sex offender who was 19 and had sex with a 17 year old shouldn't be put in the same catagory as the child molester. <br /> <br /> What bothers me is that as foster-parent we seldom know what abuse the child we are taking care of has been through. State may know but not be allowed to disclose past crimes or sex offender status to the foster-parents. Instead of having it be a deep dark secret; it would be helpful for DHHS to fully disclose what they know to the foster-parents. I agree with you in most of this article. At the same time.
