I think he is confusing certified with notarized. You need to get it clarified. Way too many "ieds".
As for a safety plan, I have no idea what that is. Sounds like building a fort so you won't be attacked by unruly natives.

After 10 years on Probation my husband had to write out a safety plan that would keep him from re offending. It is all bull and just keeps him there longer. What a nightmare! You have to do it but I doubt if they care or read it. PA is much better then AZ. People need to fight this stuff but they are silent and afraid in my state. His crime was small but probation will never end or he will end up in jail again. I do not know how to get them involved. It starts with a safety plan for the computer and then a safety play for his life. I wish I lived in PA.

Why would it need to be notarized? That makes absolutely no sense.

So, my son never offended and now he needs to make a plan so he doesn't have sex with a child?

The PO says if he has these papers it would bring my son's 'risk status' lower. I think it's just a show for the public so our government looks like they're actually doing something to keep children safe from bad guys like my son.

This whole 'crime' is a crock.

But our government has done stupid shit like this forever, Japanese internment camps, black/white water fountains, burning witches.. I can't wait to see what they come up with next.. It's all to replace the pot smokers who soon will not being going to prison because pot will be legal.

RISK SEXUAL SAFETY PLAN
User ManualUse

.
TheSexual Safety Plan
has been found to be most useful
when an evaluator wishes to
assess the sexual environment and related concerns of a specific
alleged sex offender in a target environment. In
order to accommodate different situations the
words “alleged offender” is used to represent those individuals who have
already been convicted
of a sexual offense as well as those who are only
suspected of inappropriate sexual behavior.
Any adult family member or significant other with knowledge and access to the alleged
offender's environment can complete the
Sexual Safety Plan.
The plan limits the time period
being evaluated to the next
six months
. Therefore, interpretations of
the plan should be qualified
with this time fram
e, "the next six months."
Purpose
.
A
Sexual Safety Plan
is developed to assist an
alleged offender and his/her
family or significant other in managing future sexual risks. The goal of a Safety Plan is to
prevent any inappropriate sexual behavior in the
least restrictive environment possible. Typically
a Safety Plan includes a careful assessment of:
(a.) The alleged offender’s sexual environment including
•
access to potential victims,
•
identifying who has knowledge of the alleged offender’s sexual behavior, and
•
access to sexual materials.
(b.) The level of monitoring/ supervision available to the alleged offender.
(c.) The identification of rules governing
the alleged offender’s personal behavior.
(d.) The willingness of the alleged offender
and his/her family or significant other to
report inappropriate behavior and comply with the elements of
the plan.
(e.) And, to ensure the elements of the plan have been communicated and agreed to by
necessary parties.
The
Previdence
Sexual Safety Plan
gathers and provides written documentation of
this
information.Administration
.
Ideally, it is recommended that a responsible adult, typically a familymember complete the
Sexual Safety Plan.
The
evaluator first writes in the name of
the alleged offender and the identification of
the specific target environment & or residence being assessed.
The evaluator then
gives the form
to the family member to be completed at a later time. The
evaluator gives the following instructions “
Please read and follow the instructions. Unless
otherwise specified complete the form as conditions now
exist. When the form is completed
review the information with the alleged offender and both you and
the alleged offender sign in
the appropriate place.”
After the completed form is returned, the evaluator
reviews the document as it is written.
The evaluator completes the section entitled “
For evaluator use only”
on the bottom of the last
page. First, the evaluator will mark whether those adults living at
the target environment have completed a criminal background check (NCIC). This is to
ensure the target environment is maximally safe. For
example, that no adult sex offenders are at the residence. Next, t
he evaluator initials whether
the plan is “adequate” or “inadequate” and then
signs and dates the form. If the plan is judged
inadequate, then typically a new and revised
Sexual Safety Plan should eventually be completed.
The evaluator may wish to assist the responsible adult in completing the subsequent
Sexual
Safety Plan
.
Remember
,
the Sexual Safety Plan
must represent the environment and rules as they
©

“
now exist.”
For example, if a decision is made to
put motion detectors on the bedroom doors
then the detectors should be purchased and installed
before included in the
Sexual Safety Plan.
Understanding the importance of the “target environment &/or residence.”
An appropriate sexual safety plan requires not only an assessment of the individual, but also an
assessment of the individual’s future environment.
Any assessment made about the likelihood
of future sexual behavior must always
be provided with reference to some specific
environment . The risk associated with a specific alleged sex offender varies
greatly given the
environment s/he is in. The
Sexual Safety Plan
assists the evaluator in evaluating that
environment. An example of how “environment” influences the level of risk associated with an
alleged sex offender can be illustrated with the following example of a pedophile. A pedophile
in a nursing home encircled by elderly people is at low risk of
sexual perpetration. The same
pedophile placed in a general population of a prison
may be at risk of being victimized by other
inmates. Finally, this pedophile placed in a
nursery school with unsupervised access to many
younger children would be at a very high risk of reoffending. Simply said, the same pedophile on
the same day given a different environment could
be at low risk for perpetration (nursing home),
high risk for being victimized (general population of a prison), and high risk for perpetration
(nursery school). The Sexual Safety Plan does not
assign any value judgment as to the level of
risk any particular environment might create for a specific alleged offender, that responsibility
belongs to the evaluator. The safety plan simply provides information where by the evaluator can
make the judgment. A thorough understanding of the target environment & /or residence is
critical in the development of a safety plan.
Rationale
. It is generally accepted by most expert
s that patterned sex offenders typically
exhibit “maintenance” and “grooming” behaviors.
Grooming behaviors
are behaviors exhibited
by the alleged offender like flirting. Access to a potential victim is always required to perform
grooming behaviors. Grooming behaviors are targeted toward one person or one type of person.
Maintenance behaviors
are any behavior that
feeds into the sexual problem and maintains
abusive and/or deviant sexual thoughts and behaviors. Maintenance behaviors are not targeted
toward any one person. They are the things and/or
activities the alleged offender does that keep
him/her thinking and talking about sex. Pornography use is an example of a maintenance
behavior. Grooming and maintenance behaviors
support and reinforce sexual offending and tend
to increase risk to offend. It is believed a given environment can increase
the likelihood of sexual
thoughts and behavior. By carefully
managing an alleged offender’s environment, a lower risk
level can often be obtained. A
Sexual Safety Plan
is one way to document this process.
Definitions for selected terms
Target environment &/or residence
.
This part of the form is typically completed by the
evaluator. It can be a specific
street address or any
other location or combination of locations.
The target environment can be a
current location or future placement. Nevertheless, an accurate
description of the environment is foundation for the remaining form. The evaluator should
verbally instruct the person
completing the form that the
Sexual Safety Plan
should be completed
with the target environment & /or residence in mind.
Within walking distance
.
Within walking distance
is that distance perceived by the
alleged offender and his/her significant others to be within walking distance of the target
environment & /or residence. The distance is variable. For one alleged offender it may be those
facilities across the street. For another walking
distance may be perceived several miles away.

So my son has to re admit to his crime because if he does a safely plan that just reinforces the fact that he's a threat to society. It's admitting guilt all over again.
At sentencing he didn't say anything to the judge when the judge asked if he wanted to speak. He says as little as possible to incriminate himself. This is another validation of his guilt.

I don't think he should do it. . but his PO wants him to. I don't think this is a requirement of probation or release.

As I have stated on here many times, the War on Drugs is now winding down after 40+ years of absolute failure. All it did was fill our prisons and keep law enforcement and victim rights groups with a constant supply of money in the form of federal grants.

Now that this war is winding down, we have replaced it with the War on Child Pornography. Same idea, different day. The two "wars" are being conducted in much the same manner. In the War on Drugs, marijuana was supposedly a gateway to harder drugs and child porn is supposedly a precursor to a person molesting a child. Scare tactics by the media have bluffed the public to believe the problems is much bigger and more severe than it actually is.

There are several other parallels with each "war", but no need to go into them at this time.

But the government is using a sure-fire method of waging these wars. This is a time proven theme---------make a problem bigger than what it is, scare the public half to death to get support, pour millions into the project, "fight" the war and claim some progress so more money is needed to finish the job, and then become heroes when they finally make some headway into a problem that never really existed.

Hell, it's the American way.

I clicked on this subject because I thought it was a discussion on how SOs can keep safe from the sometimes uneducated/crazy/dangerous public. I was thrilled because I wanted to get suggestions and ideas.

I havent read the responses just wanted to say I too think the notion that if someone's an so that automatically makes them want to molest every child they see

what do chaperones do that mean we can go where we would like to as a family if someone is a chaperone and all . ive heard the term but don't understand

The family therapist we have gives a course on this. As I understand it, there's a class and homework. At the end there's a test. If you pass the test you then ask for approval from the PO. I've also seen an on-line course that then says you're a Registered Chaperone and can be hired by other SO's. It seems to be useful for such things as church, weddings, etc. I've only begun to check into it and won't need it for awhile so if anyone else has more info, just let us know. The therapist said that PO's seem to like it when someone will do this. My 1st thought was; the heck w/ that . . . anything that would keep my LO safe is good for me!

Nak,
Your son's safety plan isn't to download music files that are tagged with CP by the FBI...that will keep society safe! (Sarcastic).

Seriously, I'm curious. I can download filters for my kids so they can't look at x rated material, but is there anything that will prevent my child from downloading a music file which is infected with CP, like what happened to Nak's son? I know to never go to a peer to peer network, but what about other files? I know there are videos on FB that are CP that gets posted to people's walls because they got hacked.

My god in heaven!!!! does anyone watch TV and see the commercials and other offerings with girls and women wearing "slut" clothes? Even some of the men are engaging in sexually suggestive actions- Viagra, etc. encouraging men to increase their ability to perform sexually......

Where will it end???? It's no wonder people think up new laws and rules about "sex offender" do's and don't's-- it is assinine!!!!
