Why is the Santa Monica/Los Angeles DA office failing to do the hard work and find a way to stop Jack McClellan, the self-proclaimed pedophile, from stalking of children in their district? Clearly it is because they are lazy. No other explanation. I am sick and tired of hearing talking heads explain why they can’t find some law this guy violated. Clearly he is stalking children. California has laws against stalking! He is identifying them by photo and explaining to others with his twisted desires where to find what he deems particularly desirable children, according to local news reports.
The legislature needs to act now. A bill for the Governor should be ready and on his desk by no later than Monday, August 6th, 2007. This is why they were elected - - to protect the public. No one in their right mind or even their left mind thinks for half a second that the founding fathers felt that a grown man’s right to lust after a child, direct others to finding said child, etc… falls under the first amendment protections. We have already deemed that stalking is against the law. The inaction by those with the charge to act is despicable, they are all becoming culpable in any harm this evil individual may cause.
Where are activist judges, on this issue…, silent. I am not condoning activism on the part of judges, as this isn’t their domain; it is our elected official’s responsibility.
Governor Schwarzenegger also has a responsibility to approach the state legislature and demand they send him a bill post haste to prevent pedophiles from stalking, publishing children's photos and intimidating the citizens of the great state of California. Children should be a special class under the stalking law. The law should protect children from having their photographs intentionally taken, for lurid purposes and plastered all over websites.
Let’s all find our local representative (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/yourleg.html) and demand they put forward an expansion of the current stalking laws that deals directly with this problem, the intentional photography of minor children with the intent to publish said photos on pedophile websites.
When we fail to protect the least of us we fail to protect all of us. This is a tremendously serious issue that demands immediate action.
