On August 14, blogger, Raye Croghan addressed the latest pedomedia madness. She concluded her blog with “Paging Dr. Reisman!” which certainly got my attention.
Raye Croghan sought my response to a publicity-seeking pedophile who roams both the real and the Internet world, telling other latent or active child molesters where to find little girls for some fun. This month Assemblyman Cameron Smyth, R-Santa Clarita introduced
surrogate stalker legislation to stop this man.
“We’re calling it the surrogate stalker legislation because I believe that by his actions, Jack McClellan is acting as a surrogate stalker for other pedophiles.”

Assemblymember also announced her plan for anti-pedophile legislation:
“It is abhorrent that self-described pedophiles are able to post images of small children, along with how they troll for children and other exhibitionist information, without legal repercussions,”
Meanwhile, another stalking pedophile has received million-dollar television and press coverage for similar actions. Wringing their hands about the poor children, the liberal media sighs and declares that “free speech” must be protected.
Before the sexual revolution, American law criminalized such predators as endangering the community. Now we write “surrogate stalker” legislation. Even existing pubic nuisance laws appear to be ancient history to our legal community.
Pedophile stalkers are
at the very least a public nuisance (not to mention a public threat, harmful to minors, contributing to the delinquency of minors, etc).
NUISANCE ….means literally annoyance; in law, it signifies, according to Blackstone, "anything that worketh hurt, inconvenience or damage."

A public or common nuisance is such an inconvenience or troublesome offence, as annoys the whole community in general, and not merely some particular person. To constitute a Public nuisance, there must be such 'a number of persons annoyed, that the offence can no longer be considered a private nuisance: this is a fact to be judged of by the jury. It is difficult to define what degree of annoyance is necessary to constitute a nuisance. In relation to offensive trades, it seems that when such a trade renders the enjoyment of life and property uncomfortable, it is a nuisance for the neighborhood have a right to pure and fresh air.

From acts of public indecency; as bathing in a public river in sight of the neighboring houses or for acts tending to a breach of the public peace, as for drawing a number of persons into a field for the purpose of pigeon-shooting, to the disturbance of the neighborhood ….

The remedies for a public nuisance are by indicting the party.
In fact, until we retrieve the pre-sexual revolution laws that had protected our most vulnerable citizens from barbaric predators we will forever be patching up our growing national malaise with legislative chewing gum and scotch tape.
