from what i read, the reason for the complete ban on internet use is that there are so many websites and ways to communicate over the internet (e.g. DOS based emails) to solicit minors via the internet that it is easier and cheaper to just ban a pedofile's use of the internet completely rather than permit him restricted access/use. Can you image how much it would cost to monitor their activity?
Ultimately, pedofiles will find a way to satisfy their desire, like going to other countries or using web bars to access the internet. The best defense is teach children how to aviod and defend themselves from these freaks.

How about just setting up restrictions on use - like having a cell phone that can only call certain numbers, or only letting them visit restricted sites on the web, and not allowed to post or chat. This seems like a pretty straightforward set of restrictions to implement - especially if they have to pay for it.
It seems extreme to keep people from finding jobs, buying things, reading news, or calling people when these acts aren't dangerous.
Yeah, pedophiles can't be allowed to run loose to attack kids, but the internet and phones have become a basic to communication and work. We're not talking about becoming a teacher (reasonable to ban).
Besides, aren't these restrictions imposed on people who do some relatively minor things (oral sex with a spouse in a car, for example, or a 17 and 15 yo having oral sex)? Who is looking out for abuses of the system?

Sexual predators represent a serious risk to children and to families. Their Constitutional rights should be abrograted to protect the defensless. I believe that athe courts will say the same thing.
Studies have shown that sexual predators can not help their addition and act on impulses. They need a structure that prohibits them acting on impulse. If that means forbidding them from using a cell phone or internet, then the courts should do it.
Lets not forget that we take away constitutional rights at the border and at airports for national security.

Lets take it one step further and ban the use of cell phones by child predators.
See the attached link. Any thoughts? http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/01/11/teachers.charged/index.html?iref=mpstoryview

I support free speech on the internet... but I think we have a right to restrict their access to the internet as a condition of their parole. Just as we restrict their travel in that they can't be within a certain number of feet of a school or playground. It's certainly ripe for the courts.
