"Approximately 200,000 people in 41 states are currently on the sex offender registry for crimes they committed as children. Some were put on the registry when they were as young as eight years old. The label of “sex offender” will last forever, regardless of when a child was placed on the registry."
In USA, children cant consent, but they can be sex offenders 🤯

Cant consent to sex, but can consent to be a sex offender.

The story of the 8 year old seems off. I am not sure how the courts would find out. You would think the parents upon finding out would get both children psychological help not call the cops

I read a story once where 6 year old boy touched a 6 year old girl and girl's parents called police and boy was registered as a sex offender.

I even found some stories of 5 year olds being on sex offenders list. He probably wont even remember why he is a sex offender when they ask him 30 years later.

Wow, okay. So I understand locking them up for murder but for being inappropriately curious seems disturbing
I am also thinking a lot of these cases, these kids had the behavior modeled to them.
Why do I feel like putting a 5 year old on a sex offender registry is something only a liberal judge would do, as a tactic for discrediting the sex offender registty

30% of sex offenders are children.
I could maybe understand putting 17 year old on sex offender list, but if its for entire life, its still cruel.
But putting 5 year old on a sex offender list is just insane.
I dont know what kind of a judge does that.
Laws in USA do punish very young children for crimes they commit, so I think they couldnt make sense out of "5 year old can be held accountable for murder, but not for sex crime", so the only consistent conclusion they could come up with is that 5 year old can be held accountable for sex crimes too.
I actually just wondered if there are children on sex offenders list and how many, and the search results gave bunch of articles about very young children being placed on sex offender list for life.

Another retarded law is that children can be arrested for child porn and placed on sex offender list if they take nude photos of themselves.
"A 15-year-old Ohio girl faces felony charges and may have to register as a sex offender for allegedly taking nude photos of herself and sending them to her high school classmates.
The girl, whose name has not been released, was arrested last week and charged in juvenile court with possessing criminal tools and the illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material, said Licking County, Ohio, prosecutor Ken Oswalt."
