Weiner and the KIDS (Protection) Act

Jack Kemp

This Tuesday, Rush Limbaugh has found the following on Anthony Weiner's website:
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_060711/content/01125107.guest.html

I'm surprised this is still on his website. I kid you not. It has not been scrubbed. "Protecting Children On the Internet -- In early 2007 my office did a study that found that over 85% of registered sex offenders in New York City live less than five blocks from schools, and 670 sex offenders live within just two blocks. Some offenders are even closer, permanently residing less than 500 feet away from unwitting parents, educators and children. Along with several colleagues in Congress, we introduced & passed the KIDS (Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators) Act of 2007." I kid you not, Weiner was a cosponsor. And it's still on his website. Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators Act of 2007. He's a sponsor, is a coauthor. The Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators Act of 2007 "requires sex offenders to register their e-mail and instant message addresses with the National Sex Offender Registry."

This is Weiner on his website: "The 'Kids Act' implemented one of my six recommendations to keep a closer eye on sex offenders both near school grounds and online. I also proposed stricter GPS tracking of sex offenders, tougher enforcement of registration laws and more public disclosure of sex offender data. Sadly, the Internet is the predator's venue of choice today." They haven't scrubbed it! I checked just this morning before the program started. It was still up there.

Now I've lived in Weiner's neighborhood for more years than the politician. His home is about two blocks (less than 100 yards) from Our Lady Queen of Martyrs (Catholic) School and about five blocks (less than 300 yards) from Public School 101.

Does this mean that Anthony Weiner - by his "own" law - will have to register with the police?

Just asking.
