Congress through the Adam Walsh Act (AWA) requires states to have a "Public Warning Message" to protect registrants and their families. Also required is, a "Method of Correcting" erroneous registry information. See the following from Sec. 118(e)(f) of AWA:
| Public Warning Message: | Method of Correction | |
| "Sec 118(f) Warning- The site shall include a warning that information on the site should not be used to unlawfully injure, harass, or commit a crime against any individual named in the registry or residing or working at any reported address. The warning shall note that any such action could result in civil or criminal penalties." AWA | "Sec 118(e) Correction of Errors- The site shall include instructions on how to seek correction of information that an individual contends is erroneous." AWA |
South Carolina SO Registry showed the following (4-17-07):
| Public Warning: | Method of Correction | |
| "Contains NO WARNING message on its opening page." | "Notice of Corrections."None" |
Clearly, "Out of Compliance" with the Adam Walsh Act.

South Carolina Population and Density Statistics:
| RSOs | Source | Date | Population | Source | RSOs per People | 9,000 | NCMEC | 11-9-06 | 4,321,249 | US Census | 1 per 480 |
| RSOs | Land Area Sq Miles | Pop Density Sq Mile | RSO Density Sq Mile | 9,000 | 30,109 | 133.2 | .29 |
Those are pure mathematical calculations, if the state has residency or bus stop type laws, the actual "RSO Density/Sq Mile" will be incorrect. Some areas will be lower (likely where the rich and powerful leaders live), while other areas will be MUCH HIGHER (low income with little political say)!
Now, we must never forget what happened in Georgia, when, due to residency and bus stop laws, which limited available housing for RSOs, the Edenfields were forced to reside together, and resulted in tragedy, a little boy was murdered.
Are we done? No, see the number of RSOs according to NCMEC, do you think it is correct? Read this Double, triple, quadruple counting of RSOs and please do not forget to read the article "Ghosts in the Machine" (if you haven't already) before you answer the following.
If this is your state, please rate it by posting a comment.
