Wanted missing and sex offenders should be tagged across social media, with a current photo requirements. This should be done by the companies and law enforcement and monitoring agencies. It should have been done, with interpol.

This is totally unnecessary. Those sex offenders who are dangerous are locked up. Those who have done their time should be given a 2nd chance as all other Americans are given. Sex offenders are the most unlikely to re-offend. This is a proven fact despite what politicians state. It is simply an emotional topic and used to get votes. "Think of the children".

Not only that but the vast majority of sex offenders have done nothing to children even though that is what uninformed people think.

Get educated on the topic if you are going to make statements and judgments about someone else.
