Your Questions About Latin Kings Gang Sign

Daniel asks…

Why are Hispanics attacking each other Hispanic gang violence grows where is the love at do gangs replace?

Why are Hispanics attacking each other Hispanic gang violence grows where is the love at and do gangs replace parents in terms of love and acceptance in becoming the new family?
Montgomery County is experiencing an increase in violence among notorious Hispanic street gangs, including MS-13 and the Latin Kings, the county’s chief of police said Thursday.
Chief J. Thomas Manger said there was no apparent reason why gangs were targeting other gangs, apart from their mutual hatred of each other.

“The only reason they need is to be in a different gang,” Manger said after a Montgomery County Council Public Safety Committee meeting.

Manger said a recent stabbing in Aspen Hill highlighted the “totally random” nature of gang violence in the county.

Police have charged two teens in connection with the March 11 stabbing of a 20-year-old Silver Spring man, who Manger said was in extremely grave condition.

“[The teens] were walking by, gang signs were exchanged, and it ended up being a stabbing,” Manger said. “It was a chance encounter.”

Brad Botwin, founder of the anti-illegal immigration group Help Save Maryland, said it was no surprise to learn that gang-related violence was increasing in the county.

“What a shock, I’m falling out of my chair,” Botwin said.

Botwin said Manger and the county’s elected officials had made the county so inviting to illegal immigrants that it was an attractive place for violent gang members as well.

An alleged MS-13 gang member and illegal immigrant is accused of shooting up a Montgomery County bus in November, killing a 14-year-old honor student. The incident drew outrage from anti-illegal immigration groups and contributed, in part, to a new county policy that directs police to forward the names of people charged with violent crimes to federal immigration authorities.

Manger said he didn’t know how many Hispanic gang members were illegal immigrants, but that the new policy would prevent illegal immigrant gang members who commit violent crimes from being able “to go back on the street, hopefully.”

“We still haven’t secured our borders,” Manger said. “Somebody gets deported, how long does it take them to get back? … Not long.”

Manger said the larger Hispanic gangs “are all over the county,” but the majority of gang activity occurs in Wheaton and Silver Spring.
There are about 40 active gangs in Montgomery County with 1,150 members, according to the State’s Attorney’s Office.

Go to MySpace and enter the name of the gangs in PA. See what happens.

Michael asks…

Marshal Law and Gangsters?

Why wont government pass out a marshal law and start killing all the gang members? It is the easiest solution to our problems on the streets. Hundreds and thousands of victims die each year because of gang activity. So why not put an end to it all.. and let the good hard working people live in peace and harmony. For example I know that I’m not happy where I live,, i live in Brooklyn New York/ Latin Kings terrorize the streets, so do Bloods and Crips, and new forming gang sign SDN all over the street walls. They shoot, sell drugs, attack smaller kids in groups, never fight one on one, always being disrespectful yet themselves demand respect. Prisons are over crowded because of them, and majority are Mexicans or Spanish related. African American Bloods and Crips but I see more Latino guys than any other race. So why wont government do anything about it? They waste our money,, prisons do no help, they got tv and good food. Ive been in Rikers Island myself so I know how it works,
Sorry I was in the RUSH while typing. Plus gang members are not ONLY MY problem. If you are not RICH and know for sure in another city JOB is not guaranteed and you got 2 kids and you are a single mother, there is no way to move. Plus I was talking about Gangs not a RACIAL discussion here. Gangsters don’t have to be a certain religion or certain color. Why I mentioned Latinos is because 80 million of them here are Illegal

Jill answers:

Hitler had a similar solution, to get rid of those pesky Jews.

If you give the government that much power, then it will be abused. You can have Latin Kings killing you for no reason or you can have thugs with badges doing it.

What the government *should* do is (especially in NYC) is allow citizens to carry weapons to defend themselves, as well as legalize the things that end up funding these gangs through the black market.

By the way, it’s martial law, not marshal law.

James asks…

Why do pro-illegal activists believe in open border?

You guys think Open Borders would help the USA?

I don’t want to be an *** but it would turn USA in to Mexico. I mean we would be living off a loaf of bread everyday. Do you think our country can afford illegals? no we cant afford you people. If we could I would not mind having you people in my country as long as you rid of gangs like MS-13 and Latin Kings, pay your taxes, goto school and college, pay taxes, and most importantly learn English and not hate the USA. Hating the US national team is a sign of hating America its like hating the US military and that pisses me off.

Ill tell why Open Borders wont work there is a city in Massachusetts and the illegals are destroying the city. The city due to letting illegals stay and making it illegal to report crime on an illegal and also making it illegal for illegals not to get benefits(they pay no class). The county is now in serious debt and crime has sky rocked majority of the crime are commit by illegals and now gangs like MS-13(I know they are not originally a Mexican gang) are in the Area.

Do you actually think Open Borders will benefit the USA?

BTW Mexicans complain about illegals in Mexico yet they criticize Americans for feeling the same way about illegal immigration. That is a double standard. You guys are racist as well La Raza is racist like the KKK are and I hate racists. Everyone is equal no matter the race.

Why does Mexico have one the toughest immigration laws in the world. It was ranked as having the 2nd toughest border in the world only slightly behind guess which country?

North Korea.

If you report me it means you cant handle a serious question and that your are a coward.

Jill answers:

There should be a quicker, more efficient process to become legal, sufficient enough to keep out the indebted, or the criminals, but not long enough, or expensive enough that it deters people that can barely speak English.

America was built on immigrants, and will continue to do so, people want to move to America and work hard and get more money than they can at home, it’s called the American Dream, you may remember it from movies.

Your Questions About Neo Colonialism In Africa

Laura asks…

China is investing in African countries, only for its own benefit?

China has been investing in Africa. Investing is good, as it can provide infrastructures and create jobs in Africa. Also, the Chinese investing in Africa improved the education system.

My questions (please answer all of them with good details):

1) Why is China investing Africa?
2) Does China care about the African people?
3) Is Africa victim to neo-colonialism because of China?
4) Is China investing in Africa for its own benefits?

I am only an ordinary person. I am not pro-western, or pro-eastern. I am worried about what is happening in Africa.

Jill answers:

1) china’s investing there b/c they got money. It’s not only Africa, they also invest in the carribean, central america, latin, asia, europe, usa, everywhere. Got money? Spend it! Buy stuff, lend it, invest!

2) they probably do if anyone does. After all, they give the most humanitarian aid and current sends the most peacekeepers and doctors to Africa at the request of Kofi Anon.

3) well what is colonialism? Let’s visit the past shall we?

The French sold child slaves. The English had their concentration camps in South Africa, the racist Apartheid gov’t, the Boer War fought over diamonds, so the British kidnapped the wives and children of the rebels and killed them until South Africa’s surrender.

The US had their slave trade to tend to cotton fields, sex slaves, the Dutch sold slaves to Brazil, the CArribean.

So, today’s neocolonialism? Yes, china’s probably doing the exact same thing. XD lol. But seriously, you must discern the symptoms of “neocolonialism”

the IMF and World Bank drowning Africa in debt then charging 15% interest rates, that’s pretty bad. China lent $900 million to Zambia at 0% interest in the 1960′s. Or the recent $1 billion loan to Zimbabwe.

USAID approving loans to Africa on the condition if they buy American medicine, weapons and genetically modified food. So you see all the strings attached?

European fisheries taking Somalia’s fisheries b/c their collapsed gov’t has no power to stop them. Or British Aerospace losing contracts to the CHinese in selling Sudan weapons, and the BBC calls it “genocide.” Or how about AFRICOM proposing to build 100 US military bases on Africa, soil.

So you see my point? Sadly, colonialism is still being perpetrated by the former colonial powers.

4) of course. Now that America has convinced china to abandon communist, they are trying to be capitalists. In the oxford dictionary: invest means – “money that is invested with an expectation of profit”

so yes, that is the definition of “investing” probably for natural resources, to build up and gain a new market too

Mandy asks…

You must live in a third world country, since YOU live on less than $2 in a G8 nation.?

I often hear about 3rd world poverty being described as living on less than $2 USD per day. Yet like most buzz phrases it does not encompass the complexity of the issue. Par example, you of course cannot survive in a first world nation on $2 BUT many people in poor countries could live quite well on $60USD per month. What this means in short is that someone making $2 a day in some exploited neo colonialism backwater, actually lives better than MILLIONS of people in the so-called 1st world. Most people sleeping under bridges in the u.s. would prefer the dignity and satisfaction of being exploited in a 3rd world sweatshop, if it meant a roof over their head and providing for their family each night. When we released the manufacturing sector of our economy 20yrs ago, they told us that we would be a technological white collar economy. Then they used work visas to hire techno savvy people from africa and india, plus doctors and call centers were place offshore. 3rd world is growing…
cont- to include more and more of us everyday. This is guaranteed certainty when you consider 2 undisputed factors. 1. The amount of wealth held by the richest percent of the population is growing and 2. The official definition(not culturally misguided one that teaches only non black and brown countries avoid corruption and know how to add) but of exploitation with upside down economies forced to try and trade raw resources(like sugar) for cars and televisions. This makes a growing number of people in 1st world countries, 3rd world residents. Most 1st world households are 3rd world. YOU are trying to trade you skills to companies on the world market and keep using credit to mortgage your future earning for a bit of fancy trappings today. Most of my generation finds themselves with multiple degrees and a fear of having children only to be falling behind in reaching financial security. Everyone going to college is afraid to come out before they turn 40 because they keep telling
cont–you that education has something to do with income. You go to school an extra 4 years and the job is still taught to someone in 3 weeks in india. This dampens wages worldwide(like commodity prices for 3rd world) while having 1st world cravings and needs. Consider yourself the 3rd world leader of your home. Comments welcome.
food for thought on the detailed version of 3rd world

Betty asks…

What is in the 10 point platform of the new black panthers?

1. We want freedom. We want the power to practice self-determination, and to determine the destiny of our community and THE BLACK NATION.
We believe in the spiritual high moral code of our Ancestors. We believe in the truths of the Bible, Quran, and other sacred texts and writings. We believe in MAAT and the principles of NGUZO SABA. We believe that Black People will not be free until we are able to determine our Divine Destiny.

2. We want full employment for our people and we demand the dignity to do for ourselves what we have begged the white man to do for us.
We believe that since the white man has kept us deaf, dumb and blind, and used every dirty trick in the book to stand in the way of our freedom and independence, that we should be gainfully employed until such time we can employ and provide for ourselves.
We believe further in: POWER IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE! WEALTH IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE! ARMS IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE!
3. We want tax exemption and an end to robbery of THE BLACK NATION by the CAPITALIST. We want an end to the capitalistic domination of Africa in all of its forms: imperialism, criminal settler colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism, sexism, zionism, Apartheid and artificial borders.
We believe that this wicked racist government has robbed us, and now we are demanding the overdue debt of reparations. A form of reparations was promised 100 years ago (forty acres and a mule) as restitution for the continued genocide of our people and to in meaningful measure and repair the damage for the AFRICAN HOLOCAUST (Maangamizo/Maafa).
We believe our people should be exempt from ALL TAXATION as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land and the overdue reparations debt remains unpaid. We will accept payment in fertile and mine rally rich land, precious metals, industry, commerce and currency. As genocide crimes continue, people’s tribunals must be set up to prosecute and to execute.
The Jews were given reparations. The Japanese were given reparations. The Black, the Red and the Brown Nations must be given reparations. The American white man owes us reparations. England owes us reparations. France owes us reparations, Spain and all of Europe. Africa owes us reparations and repatriation. The Arabs owe us reparations. The Jews owe us reparations. All have taken part in the AFRICAN HOLOCAUST and the slaughter of 600 million of our people over the past 6,000 years in general and 400 year in particular. We know that this is a reasonable and just demand that we make at this time in history.
4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings, free health-care (preventive and maintenance). We want an end to the trafficking of drugs and to the biological and chemical warfare targeted at our people.
We believe since the white landlords will not give decent housing and quality health care to our Black Community, the he housing, the land, the social, political and economic institutions should be made into independent UUAMAA New African Communal/Cooperatives so that our community, with government reparations and aid (until we can do for ourselves) can build and make drug free, decent housing with health facilities for our people.
5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this devilish and decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history/herstory and our role in the present day society.
We believe in an educational system that will give our people a knowledge of self. If we do not have knowledge of self and of our position in society and the world, then we have little chance to properly relate to anything else.
6. We want all Black Men and Black Women to be exempt from military service.
We believe that Black People should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend a racist government that holds us captive and does not protect us. We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like Black People, are being victimized by the white racist government of America. We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by any means necessary.
7. We want an immediate end to POLICE HARRASSMENT, BRUTALITY and MURDER of Black People. We want an end to Black-on-Black violence, snitching, cooperation and collaboration with the oppressor.
We believe we can end police brutality in our community by organizing Black self-defense groups (Black People’s Militias/Black Liberation Armies) that are dedicated to defending our Black Community from racist, fascist, police/military oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment of white America’s Constitution gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all Black People should unite and form an African United Front and arm ourselves for self-defense.
8. We want freedom for all Black Men and Black Women held in international, military, federal, state, county, city j

Your Questions About Methadone Drug Addiction

Lizzie asks…

methadone and drug addiction?

methadone being the least effective way of dealing with addicts using heroin as it is just a bonus to top there addiction up (proven as there is only a 5% success rate at present to cure these leaches on society and doesn’t reduce there crime rates i’e theft and preying on the vulnerable which is causing fear in the most vulnerable members of society and has been proven that more than 80% of crime is attributed to these people the tax payer invests huge amounts of money wouldn’t it be sensible if these individuals where treated more harshly i’e cut the huge amounts of benefits they recieve which only go to fund there habits and install a more harsher regime that would take them out there environment that is designed at present to encourage there continuing drug taking.
anyone thinking that methadone is a substitute for heroin is deluding themselves as most addicts use see it as a top for diazepam and heroin all it does it curb the chaotic lifestyle heroin causes

Jill answers:

Of course it is !

Its taxable , nice little income for the legal drug barons

Daniel asks…

Has anyone out there gone through or know anyone who has gone through methadone treatment for drug addiction?

My friend’s son is addicted to heroin. They are desperate to get help for him and unfortunately he has no insurance. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

Jill answers:

I have a friend who’s husband is addicted to opiates and he started going to a methadone clinic. That was 4 years ago and he is still going!! I’ve seen her loose her car, home and now she is in jeopardy of loosing her children because of her husband’s addiction to now Methadone. I just don’t see how using one drug to get someone off of another drug can be useful. I’ve read alot of the times where people using Methadone overdoses because they mix the methadone with other narcotics such as anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs. Have her do some more in depth research on the pros and cons of Methadone. I’ve read it can be useful if administered properly. I’ve also heard the dangers when people are buying and selling methadone on the street, this is where is can be lethal.

Michael asks…

Methadone.ANY APPROPRIATE INFO NEEDED.For how long is Methadone used to detox from opiate drug addiction?

Hi, i have just started on a methadone programme for Opiate drug addiction. I know very little about methadone, i want to know what dose people take and for what? also how long it is used for? i’ve heard a lot of people say they’ve been on it for years and i find that quite disheartening, it just seems like i am swapping one drug addiction for another! I also want to know of it’s success rate for leaving patients clean of all drugs long term? If anyone has ANY helpful information about Methadone treatment i would really appreciate it. I don’t know anyone personally who has been through a methadone program so it would be great to hear anything from people who have had firsthand experience with Methadone. I feel about out of my depth here and need some advise! Thanks in advance.

Jill answers:

The time methadone is used to detoxify an addict from an opiate addiction depends on two things, the particular opiate that one is addicted to, and the severity of the addiction meaning how often they use, and how much they use. Also methadone treatments are not the only method to treat, and detoxify from opiate addiction. See here:

http://www.careflorida.com/opiate-detox.html

I hope this was of help to you.

Mandy asks…

Other than drug addiction, what is methadone used for?

Jill answers:

WOW I have never seen such answers. Methadone is used for opiate addiction (but you knew that) & for the treatment of chronic pain. See how easy that was? LOL Here is a link so you can check this answer and look up other questions like this in the future and won’t have to weed through answers like these…
Http://www.drugs.com/methadone.html

Sharon asks…

Do you in the US give out methadone to drug addicts?

We in the UK encourage drug addiction by giving out free drugs [even in the prisons] this is paid for out of our taxes.
Strange really when the low paid people are going cold and hungry and living below the poverty line.

Jill answers:

They are scum. I had a conversation the other day abut this and i would not give junkies anything for free….when they go to prison they should be made to rattle it out…not get free meth… Put them on suicide watch for a week and sweat it out of them….no free drugs at all in prison with exception to those who are mentally ill and need drugs to stay level….not for junkies though. What is the point in locking them up if we keep their addiction that caused them to break the law in the first place going? We have a messed up justice system. I work bloody hard for my money and the government gives me nothing for free. NOTHING! Why should these junkies get meth handed to them and free flats when they get out, dole money? Pisses me off mate

Jill answers:

We are way too easy on those who decise to abuse children. Here is my answer to these people who abuse our loved ones
Sex Offender Legislation “Wish List”
1-GPS and lifetime supervision/treatment Law The failure of today’s solutions regarding sexual offenders is because we are stuck in the strategy of “public notification” rather than “controlling offenders”. The current model puts the burden on parents rather than offenders, and makes the wrong people work to prevent abuse. Remotely (GPS) knowing where an offender is at all times throughout his lifetime can help to prevent that offender from creating new cases of sexual abuse.
2-Include all known offenders in the management plan-for life. It is wrong to include just those under supervision since the Meagan’s Law was written. People do not ever age out of this behavior so why an old is charge less important than a new charge. Sexual offences are the most under reported crimes (according to the FBI). The fact that a molester has not been arrested recently does not necessarily means he has not offended. In my opinion all offenders should be included in any plan, regardless of when their offense occurred. I believe some states have done this already.
3-Put all offenders , levels I, II or III on the website . I believe Florida does this. The leveling tool is very poor and pedophiles often end up with only a level I because they did not use force, and they superficially complied with treatment. The way the leveling system works pedophilic “groomers” who do not use force (and are the most busy of all offenders with hundreds of victims) are often not level III’s and therefore are able to have their offense relatively unknown. In New York for example offenders can lawyer up and reduce the “level” they get at their hearing. Molesters can assert they are “non violent”, “sober”, ect, and get the “points” reduced or get the judge to “override” the scale. Currently the public notification system is failing. All offenders of all levels should be on the website.
4- “Victim Shield Law”. As you know one of the few protections we offer rape victims is “Rape shield laws”, in order to at least try and prevent a rape victim’s sexual history from being put on trial rather than the rapist. In child sexual abuse cases there are no “Rape shield laws” to prevent the victim, or the victim’s family (often the mother) from being made the center of negative attention. In the past defense lawyers for rapists would portray rape victims as promiscuous, today child molester’s lawyers portray victims and victim’s mothers as manipulative, litigious, unreliable, angry, mentally ill, sociopathic, medicated, or undedicated. Because we as a society love to blame women, especially mothers, molesters have been able to harness the misogyny in our culture in order to escape responsibility for their offences. Like the old rape cases that would revolve around the victims sexual past, today molester cases revolve around a child or a mother’s real or fictional problems instead of the focus of attention being the sexual abuse committed by the offender. I do not know if there can ever be a “victim shield law” to prevent the victim/victim’s mother being put on trial rather than the molester, but I know it would help victims avoid being re-traumatized in the system and help society hold sexual offenders accountable. One of the things to always remember with offenders is they are control seekers, and will take any opportunity to attack rather than just defend. They feel entitled to their behavior and see being held accountable as an injustice they are being forced to suffer, and they have zero guilt in harming any number of people (even their children) in order to escape the consequences they deserve.
5-Plea deals down to “Endangering the welfare of a minor”. Despite the underlying behavior being the sexual abuse of children offenders are often given convictions that hide the nature of their behavior. When this happens offenders can get employment that gives them access to children, offenders are not on the State Sex Offender Registry. The other consequence to their being given non-sexual charges is that it cuts their supervision time in half. Misdemeanor sex offences carry 6 years probation supervision but “Endangering the welfare of a minor” carries only three. I feel the law should be changed so offenders cannot be given non-sexual abuse charges.
6-Make “Endangering the welfare of a minor” registerable , if the judge feels it was a sexually motivated crime. The registry is to narrow and limited as to what crimes can be registered. Laws be changed so “endangering the welfare of a minor” is registerable when the behavior or motivation was sexual.
7-“Standardized” conditions for those on sex offender probation. Right now offenders with good lawyers can get specific (or all) sex offender conditions removed from their sexual offender conditions of probation. This means that sexual offenders are on probation but are allowed to drink alcohol, work with children, have computers, go to bars, and do other things that will create a higher risk for the community. I feel there should be a “Statewide Sex Offender Conditions of Probation” that conditions cannot be removed from (but conditions can be added to suite the offenders issues).
8-Sexual Offender Contraband law- Strangely it is legal for sexual offenders off probation to own all kinds of things such as handcuffs, police lights, spy cameras, and software to make their internet behavior more anonymous.
9-Sex Offender use of technology law- When bank robbers use technology such as wearing body armor the penalties are increased, why are sex offender allowed to use any technology without added consequences. Offenders choose the internet because it allows greater access to children and greater anonymity. They should be punished for use of technology to harm a child. (technology such as Computers, digital cameras, webcams, ect)
10-“Secrecy Bind Law” The offender getting his victim to not report the crime he committed should be a separate crime that he suffers added consequences for. The pain that a victim suffers because the offender threatened, tricked, or manipulated the victim into silence should be seen as a separate and deserving of added consequences.
11- “Parental Alienation Syndrome” is a pseudo syndrome that is being used to get offenders off the hook by saying (incorrectly) that sexual abuse allegations come from a manipulative ex- playing head games with a child rather than because the child was actually molested. This “Parental Alienation Syndrome” is not a legitimate disorder, has not been subjected to peer review, has been ignored for 20 years by the APA, AMA, NASW, ECT because it is just a sophisticated way to say your wife is crazy and turned everyone against you. It is being pushed by hired guns such as Doctors, PhD’s, and lawyers to get their child molesting clients out of trouble. It is a favorite of the “Fathers Rights” groups who see men as victims of the Family Court system. By the way, these “Fathers rights” groups, “wrongly accused” groups, and “victims of allegations” groups are very organized and spend a good deal of time and energy networking and paying professionals. These angry, entitled molesters are organized and work hard, and I feel we need to work just as hard against them. My point is I feel we need some legislation to block this fake disorder from being used in court

Laura asks…

My friend is dating a supposed “Sex Offender”?

My friend started dating a man a few weeks ago and he told her recently that he is a convicted sex offender. He claims that years ago he “Unknowingly” downloaded child pornography. He is on probation, attends weekly support group meetings (Not court ordered, according to him, but he does it so it “looks good” to the courts) and will continue to be on probation for the next 6 years.

My issues are as follows:

He claims that he “Had to tell her” because he was asked to attend her nieces baptism and he has to “Disclose that he is an offender” which makes complete sense. What does NOT make sense is that when we searched for his name on the registry he is not listed. His response to this was “Since I was such a low-level offender I am not required to register for a list so I won’t show up.”

This, of course, is not true. Even Tier 1 offenders are considered felons if they are in possession of child pornography and are required to register for 15 years and since he still has 6 years of probation I can only imagine that his crime was within the past 15 years.

I’m scared that maybe he is lying about his name, or maybe about the whole thing. But who the hell would tell someone they are a convicted sex felon?

I need advice: Does anyone out there know if it is at all possible he is telling the truth and that, since he is such a low level offender, he would not be on any lists? I have background checked him and found him, his previous addresses and other information and searched the registries in both NY and PA (The two states he’s lived in) and came up with nothing.

Normally I wouldn’t care but since I have a 3 year old daughter I am completely paranoid about the entire situation. I know I will end up losing my friend over this since she believes everything he says but while that is a concern my daughters safety and my peace of mind is a lot more important.

Help!

Jill answers:

If he told your friend he’s a sex offender because he HAD too. Thats something nobody would volunteer. He’s obviously telling the truth. My friend was almost labeled a sex offender because he pee’d on a wall behind a bar drunk once and the cop was a P.O.S and though it was worth wrecking his life over some stupid BS that every guy has don’t countless times in his life. There ARE people who get slapped with that label that are NOT sex offenders. Granted most are. But innocent until proven guilty.

Daniel asks…

What is the statute of limitations on lewdness with a minor and endangering the welfare of a minor?

What is the statute of limitations on these crimes in ny and nj and can anything be done if the statute has run. Can the person be still registered as a sex offender? I’ve been reading about sex offenders and the registry seems to contain people who have commited crimes recently.

Jill answers:

To be listed as a sex offender you have to be convicted of a crime. So if the SoL has run out then no.

New Jersey
Code Section 2C:1-6;
Felonies Murder, manslaughter: none;
official misconduct, bribery and related offenses: 7 yrs.;
others: 5 yrs.;
if victim under 18, prosecution must begin within 5 yrs. After victim attains 18 for sexual assault, criminal sexual contact and endangering welfare of children

New York

others: 5 yrs.;
violation of collection, treatment, disposal of refuse and solid waste: 4 yrs.;
breach of fiduciary duty: within 1 yr. Of discovery of offense;
official misconduct: 5 yrs. Of offense

Mandy asks…

Criminal record?

I’m 26 years old and a NYC resident. I’ve never been arrested or even close to it.
However when I was 18 me and a bunch of my friends rented a house in PA for our prom weekend getaway. there was alot of drinking going on and we ended up getting summones for drinking.
PA law differs alot than NY law regarding underage drinking, we received big $400 dollar fines, and the cops said legally we could lose our drivers licenses even though we weren’t driving or in a car.
Thankfully we didn’t lose our licenses and I was able to pay off the fine.
Well recently i applied to a job in which they did an extensive search on my background. I was mailed the results and everything came back positive no crimal conviction in the state of NY, no findings in the national federal court search, no findings in the sex offender registry etc..
However in the criminal offender database/national database section something came up. It says Disorder Conduct Hazardous, from my PA incident. Is this Bad?

Jill answers:

Was the cops called out to the house ? How did they get your name for the summons ?
Disorderly conduct is usually not such a big deal , if only once listed.
It could be depinding upon the job requirements.
You could tell the job rep that you never lived in Penn. And that there must be a mistake in the records (as this is quite common , I.D. Theft).
I have all kinds of stuff from Arizona yet I have never been there.

Lisa asks…

Can someone help me with information on finding a website that helps with social security disability?

http://www.socialsecuritydisability.ws/

I tried the website that i posted up top but it doesnt look legit
the disability is for my mother who recently had a colostomy and is having trouble doing many things
please help
thanks

Jill answers:

Here is the official web site…www.socialsecurity.gov/. I think this should help you out a bit.

My husband recently applied for ss disability (he is in Stage 4 Lung Cancer and it is in his lymph nodes). He was turned down, I understand this is not unusual to be turned down on your first try. Instead of fighting it ourselves, we’ve decided to go with a lawyer specializing in this subject. The law firm we selected does not take any money up front but should they win our case for us they will take a portion of his first check. Right now the amount fails me, but we figure it is well worth it.

I hope this helps you and your mother out. Best wishes to your mom.
