THE HONORABLE MARK FOLEY
TESTIMONY BEFORE THE HOUSE JUDICIARY SUBCOMMITTEE ON CRIME, TERRORISM AND
HOMELAND SECURITY
HEARING ON H.R. 2423, THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION AND NOTIFICATION ACT
JUNE 9, 2005

Chairman Coble,

On behalf of Congressman Bud Cramer and the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children’s Caucus, I want to thank you for holding this important hearing today and for giving me the opportunity to testify on H.R. 2423, the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.

<snip>

Sex offenders are not petty criminals. They prey on our children like animals and will continue to do it unless stopped. We need to change the way we track these pedophiles.

Mr. Chairman, it has often been noted that a society can be judged on how it best treats it children. We have a moral responsibility to do everything in our power to protect our kids from these animals. This bill will turn the tables and make prey out of these predators. Failing to act on this measure is just playing Russian roulette with our children’s lives.

1. It won't be long before the psychoanalysts hit the talk circuit

saying how he fits the profile perfectly of a serial criminal who subconsciously wants to be caught and even takes actions in that direction -- like the serial killer who sends notes and clues to the police.

This is no different.

[whistle]

2. Why was Marc Foley allowed to enter himself into rehab and not

...immediately arrested and put into jail without bail?

[Synnical]

5. Or at least detained and questioned??

He certainly is a "person of interest".

3. Who else to link into the mind of a pedophile

but another pedophile...

4. umm hello, he's talking about how other people should treat children

and not himself, he's a republican and you know the rules don't apply to them----evah.
