2. (aggravated) This sex offender has been convicted of one sex crime. It was of a violent nature. Therefore word aggravated is used. "Seventy-four percent of children who are kidnapped and later found murdered are killed within first 3 hours after being taken." Deborah J. Daniels, Assistant Attorney General and National AMBER Alert Coordinator. 3. ( All Others) These Sexual predators have been released from prison and/or paroled or both. They are not considered aggravated or habitual, these are predators that roam our neighborhoods, parks, church and school activities undetected. They feel free to prey on our children, teens and even adults. Better than 85% of all sex offenders will strike again. There are over 5,000 sex offenders residing and preying on young children in State of Oklahoma. 60% are released from prison with no supervision. 11% of 5000 are in non-compliance of law. Oklahoma, with its title 57 as a part of state's statutes, has strict laws on books in regards to sex offenders. It's a matter of : ENFORCEMENT-- REGISTRATION --IDENTIFICATION--AND NEIGHBORHOOD NOTIFICATION Excerpts from Title 57 of Oklahoma Constitution. The Legislature finds that sex offenders who commit other predatory acts against children and persons who prey on others as a result of mental illness pose a high risk of re-offending after release from custody. The Legislature further finds that privacy interest of persons adjudicated guilty of these crimes is less important than state's interest in public safety. The legislature additionally finds that a system of registration will permit law enforcement official to identify and alert public when necessary for protecting public safety. STATE OF OKLAHOMA All sex offenders, as defined in 57 O.S. Supp. 1997, Section 582, have a duty to register with local law enforcement authority having jurisdiction in area where person intends to reside or to stay for more than seven days in accordance with Oklahoma State Statute 57 O.S. Supp 1997, Section 583. If a sex offender changes address, offender shall notify appropriate agencies in writing no later than three days before offender establishes residence or is temporarily domiciled at new address. OUT OF STATE If sex offender changes address to another state, offender shall register new address with appropriate agencies in new state not later than 10 days before offender establishes residency or is temporarily domiciled in new state, if new state has a registration requirement. ___________________________________________________ If we save just one child's life or reduce number of children that are being violated by predators this whole project will have been worthwhile. Don’t let sex offenders go unnoticed and unchallenged! For more information E-Mail: sexoffendersoklahoma@texoma-online.zzn.com

Meanwhile, Dylan went about proving his trustworthiness. He was not only attentive and kind to Hannah, he became generous and kind with various members of his family, from whom he had previously distanced. After a few months of individual work, Hannah and Dylan began to work together in their phone sessions with me. They learned to open and explore their conflicts and learn from them instead of Hannah getting angry and Dylan complying and withdrawing. In shifting their intent from protecting against pain to learning about love, Hannah and Dylan developed a loving relationship based on trust for themselves and each other. They are now married with children and their relationship continues to evolve in love and trust. Trust is built in a relationship when both people are open to learning rather than controlling through anger, withdrawal, compliance or resistance. When our intention is to control rather than to learn about what is loving to ourselves and our partner, we can never trust or feel secure with our partner, because if we can control and manipulate him or her, others can too - and that’s scary. Only when we believe our partner is with us because he or she wants to be - out of desire and caring, rather than out of fear, obligation, or guilt - will we feel secure and trusting. This only occurs when our intent is to learn about loving ourselves and others rather than to control. The more we trust ourselves - our own inner knowing and wisdom from our spiritual guidance - more open and trusting we can be with our partner. People often hold back from being open with their partners with implication, “I can’t be open until you prove that I can trust you.” By trust they mean being able to predict their partners’ response, guaranteeing that their partners will be loving rather than rejecting. One of life’s hardest realities is that this kind of guarantee is impossible. However, more we trust ourselves and develop our ability to speak our truth, more we are willing to be open and risk another’s free response to us. This is what creates a loving and trusting relationship.
