Episode 219: Why Are Registered Sex Offenders Allowed on Facebook?

from The Speaking Out on Sex Abuse Podcast · host Jimmy and Clara Hinton

Did you know that it's perfectly legal for registered sex offenders to be on social media? That's right, as long as they're not on supervision even sexually violent predators can have as many social media accounts as they want. This means they are on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and any popular social media platforms your children and grandchildren are using. In this episode, we talk about a real life situation of a sex offender on Facebook who looks like a perfect candidate for a church volunteer. Unless churches really do their homework, they would never know that the people they are asking to serve did hard time in prison.
