Regardless of the statistics I feel it is more than just 'awareness', what is nerve wracking is to check on how many 'registered' pedophiles are living closer than you would like. People think we are odd because the doors are locked at all times, except for when we step outside. The reason is that beating up on older people has become the latest pastime here. They just put a guy in for life with no chance of parole for attacking four widows.

I can easily believe that young people are also targetted. A young man and his girlfriend were hijacked, the locked him in the trunk while assulting his girlfriend. One slight consolation is that these perps will find out just what rape means when they toss them in jail.
