[Vision2020] Child Protective Services

[Art Deco]

Roger,

What magic formula do you propose to determine the probability of reoffending of any given convicted pedophile?  Do you have any idea what the estimated recidivism rates are?  Or that the younger the victims and the more victims are fairly clear indices of potential reoffending?

  I went to a 4-H training session in Lewiston Saturday.  One of the subjects was child protection. The amount of abuse that occurs in relation to children is shocking. I do not know where things stand on the budget, but I would encourage everyone to make sure that there are no cuts in Child Protective Services. This is a area that needs attention. There are  other areas that can be legitimately cut. One would be the prision budget. It costs a lot of money to keep people in prision. Except for those that are a danger to society and should never be released, it is questionable to keep people locked up for a long period of time. It may be fine for a short sentence as punishment, but there should be better ways to deal with those that are not a physical treat to society. 
  Again Child Protective Services needs to stay fully funded.
