Talk about sexual McCarthyism gone berserk ! There was more enlightenment about sexual offenders back in the 1950s . Less hysteria. If these individuals were really an imminent threat to every kid in the neighborhood, that would suggest the failure of " de-institutionalization " of the mentally ill- which began more than 50 years ago. All these " dangerous " sex offenders would show a dramatic improvement in behavior if they were treated -first of all - as SICK human beings. A bleak and horrendous " shelter "- like Harrington Hall in Cranston - is no place to begin " therapy " . Our American capitalist society is even sicker than deranged homeless people !
