Yay another new year, another bullshit law

Currently, The state is attempting to ramrod through a requirement that states if a person gets a divorce, they must tell the court during proceedings if they have an RSO in their extended family IF the divorce deals with custody rights.

First, What utter bullshit. Ok, lets continue with the ostracizing of RSOs, and put more pressure on them to re-offend. Shut them off from their families. I guess the government being wrong with their lying statements in the news needs to create animosity between family and the RSO so that Government officials and their hired lackeys can claim that the non-offending RSO causes the family unit to be broken up 'due to their crimes'

Second, The vast majority of us have moved past our harmful ways and are attempting to become as productive as this country will allow (which isn't much I dare say). I don't think the statistics can get much better, 93% commit no further offenses. No other group can claim that. Not your drunk drivers, not your drug pushers, not even your spouse abusers. So why is it again that government wants to put even more pressure on us for crimes committed once, and something we have gotten treatment for and are moving past in our lives?

If I have a nephew somewhere that I have no intention of visiting, haven't seen him in 20 years, why is it so important that he tells the court that I am an RSO again? See, yet another example of punishment by the legislature for a crime I committed over 10 years ago. Yeah, that's constitutional!
