Amanda Rogers, as she likes to call herself, describes herself as
a freelance investigative journalist from Phoenix,AZ.
She is a human rights, civil rights, and child safety advocate, as well as a political ball buster. Amanda is the author of numerous articles and video blogs. Her articles and editorials have been published in news magazines both nationally and across the globe
Amanda writes for American Chronicle, an online tabloid type website. She's also on the board of
SoClear a pro sex offender rights organization which describes her this way:
Fed up with the barrage of blatantly unconstitutional and ineffective legislation regarding sex offenders and so-called "child protection", Ms. Rogers has made it her mission to educate the public on the truth behind the headlines: To cut through the hype and spin to bring you the facts, un-tethered by political bias, affiliations, or agendas. It is only through truths, however painful, infuriating or embarrassing that real discussion on these issues can begin and effective changes be made.
Amanda believes that society is demonizing sex offenders. She believes we are mistreating them. She believes we are thus endangering children. She is an activist. Her issue is to reform sex offender laws. She supports the petition we wrote about
HERE.Amanda claims that that only 3% of sex offenders recidivate. She bases that on the
1994 DOJ report regarding recidivism rates of sex offenders. Then, in typical Lindsay Ashford style, she subtracts the number of those offenders
in that study who were reconvicted within a 3 year period from 100% and erroneously concludes that it must mean 97% of sex offense cases are committed by someone never before convicted of a sex crime. WA LA She's using this insane conclusion to promote abolishment of sex offender registries, life imprisonment sentences and age of consent laws.
When we very helpfully pointed out to her that studies done over a much longer period of time found that the offender didn't typically start to re-offend until
5 years post release from prison, which would actually make this DOJ statistic a moot point, she very typically deleted our comments and proceeded to harass a
CSA survivor. Wouldn't want people to know the truth now would she?
Amanda wants this
Abolish all provisions of state and Federal sex offender registries.. There should be no internet or other public posting of the identity, photograph, address, workplace or personal information of any offender
Whose side is she on again? She believes you don't have a right to know that Joe next door raped a 5 year old child.........when you have a 5 year old child.
She also makes note, as do all these activists that there are very few sex crimes committed by those on the sex offender registry and in some insane twist of logic concludes that WA LA we don't need one. Whereas I'm saying
it may just be working. In cases where the offender was registered but they weren't adequately followed by law enforcement, she concludes that we are wasting money on the SOR, whereas I believe we need to invest more money into it and ensure that
all agencies have the staff and resources they need.
At one point she becomes so bold as to say that the reason for widespread under-reporting of child sexual abuse is because people know that bad stuff is gonna happen when they report it. For example prison sentences, SOR, possibly the breadwinner being removed from the home. Whereas if there were no punishment for sex offenders and it wasn't something required by law to be reported, well then the victim could just
gently guide the offender on down to the corner therapist and WA LA problem would be solved. She doesn't understand sex offenders much does she?
I should say not. But I would like to ask her why she blames
Adam Walsh's mother for the
actions of the man who cut off Adam's head. And why she blames the family of
Christopher Barrios and the entire system for the
actions of the gruesome twosome who raped and murdered him while that hag looked on getting her jollies.
"Little Christopher paid the price for this ill thought out legislation with his very life. It is the opinion of this writer that lawmakers have just as much blood on their hands as the Edenfields themselves"
She refers to Mark Klass, Mark Lundsford, John Walsh as the flock of vultures. And addressing the issue of Megan Kanka (Megans Law) and the man who raped and murdered her (a convicted sex offender) she says that law enforcement knew he was dangerous and
yet they let him out anyway. Well oh me oh my, if you really feel that way
Amanda, why do you support doing away with
all life imprisonment sentences for sex offenders? Why?
Why are you addressing the parents of murdered children with scorn and hostility in your voice? Why are you trying to
dig up dirt on them? You wouldn't be the
judgmental type now would you? You wouldn't be one to try and
legislate morality now would you? You wouldn't make a statement like: "
The common thread with all of these cases is that the parents were living less than, shall we say, good moral lifestyles....." And why are you blaming everyone,
everyone for the deaths of Dylan Groene, Jessica Lunsford, Megan Kanka, Adam Walsh, Carly Brucia, and Danielle Van Dam
except the men who actually committed the acts? Yes,
Amanda, as parents we have to take care of our children, but when you
said:"This world is not your babysitter"
All I could think was........Am I my brother's keeper? And in this case, Amanda, yes yes yes I am. When it comes to children we all are. If you don't agree then I would imagine you perhaps have ulterior motives for this
cause of yours?
Amanda believes that teenagers are the victims in this
modern day hysterical witch hunt. To solve that problem she supports this:
De-criminalize all consensual sexual activities among teenagers
She draws no line. A 19 year old 11 month and 29 day old person would be exempt from being prosecuted for having sex with a 13 year old and 1 day old child. Oh! But she did use the word consensual. As if she believes the 13 year old is capable of making a rational decision about sexual activity with the 19/20 year old. I guess she does believe it.
But on the other hand she DID say she was against pedophiles and so I'm just scratching my head here. WTF? Because you see what this petition says is
Stop public vilification and demonization of sex offenders. Oppose the use in the media or by public officials of obviously pejorative language with regard to offenders. Use of the term "pedophile" should be extremely limited and accurate. Children should be defined as persons under the age of puberty.
Ok, there is the definition of child that she supports. But then how do you explain this?
Support broad sex education for children, and empower them to make their own decisions and stand up for their rights
THAT right there is an advocation for abolishment of age of consent laws, and the typical pedophile movement's modus operandi. Turn it on the child. Make
THEM responsible for what the adults want to do to them.
And like we said before, this reform petition is about removing all punishments for sex offenders, placing the responsibility for CSA on the child, and removing restrictions for pedophiles. I think Amanda's a malicious LIAR whose attempts to manipulate public opinion with false propaganda are on the lines of reckless endangerment.
And they call us ignorant and uneducated? Well, Amanda did. But then I think she has more
hair than
brains. In fact I just call her fluff n' stuff.
Jan Elizabeth Kruska describes herself as
a freelance journalist from Phoenix, Arizona U.S.A.
She is the author of numerous articles, live concert reviews, and musician interviews which have been published both nationally and internationally. Jan also does live concert photography which helps to bring the stories and reviews together for both readers and fans.
Please see her website for more information and concert photos at http://www.rhythmnation.biz
Jan Kruska is a
registered sex offender herself you see. Jan
is Amanda. Jan has ulterior motives behind her numerous pro sex abuse articles, and her
website and her organization of the rally in Miami and her support of this horrendous excuse for a
petition that claims it is
"part of the effort to support the happiness, well-being and freedom of children"I did find it quite interesting that this petition which states:
We call on those who agree with us to sign our Call publicly, with full disclosure of real identity
And Jan did that. Yes indeed she did. The strange thing is that she also signed Amanda's name. You know, the Amanda who doesn't even exist?
I don't know about you, but I would sort of think that a reformed sex offender wouldn't stoop to lying now would they? And if they did.....which activities of theirs should we believe in and which ones should we question? As for me I don't believe anything she has to say.
