Annie Kenny isn't okay, and she wants to destroy the lives of Maryland's registered persons

This crackpot is trying to ensure the lives of registered persons are disrupted as much as possible. Any idiot who uses the term "convicted pedophile" is completely uneducated on this subject. Not only is she spouting outlated statistics, her shirt just proves she has a severely slanted opinion on this subject. Why the media contunies to promote this loon is beyond me. 

But if you want to educate this idiot, her email is keepthebabiessafe@gmail.com

Over the past several weeks if you looked at the Maryland Sex Offender Registry you might have missed something.

It’s here where anyone can find the details of men and women who have preyed on children. Several weeks ago, Annie Kenny, a mom raising her kids in Maryland, noticed something very odd when she landed on this website.

“Recently when I checked the website what I found was that although there was a space for scars and tattoos the information was listed as unavailable and there was no spot at all any more for work addresses or vehicle information,” says Annie Kenny.

Vital information that helps people identify sex offenders missing for weeks. Kenny did some research and discovered Maryland was in violation of state and federal guidelines.

“It’s really disturbing to think that an entire state's sex offender registry could be non-compliant with the U.S Department of Justice requirements. To me that’s pretty concerning,” says Kenny.

7 On Your Side did some digging and found out in April, Maryland joined 21 other states and switched its sex offender website to the Offender Watch. It allows law enforcement and public safety agencies to share and manage information in real-time.

The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services admits it was this Maryland mom who discovered the issues.

It says: "The data was in fact present on the site however the vendor had a security rights issue and some information wasn’t visible to the public."

Here is the email from the Maryland Department of Public Safety :

In April, the State of Maryland joined 21 states in switching to the OffenderWatch system for its Sex Offender Registry. OffenderWatch allows multiple law enforcement and public safety agencies to share and manage information in real-time, while dramatically reducing the number of hours spent on administrative tasks related to the Registry.

The Department received a single constituent concern about a portion of a registrant’s data not being visible on the public site. The Department investigated and found that the problem was a data display issue. The data was in fact present on the site; however, because the vendor had a security rights issue, some data in the system was not visible to the public. At no time was any information lost.

The vendor corrected the issue several weeks ago. The Department's IT professionals have reviewed the system and found no further issues.

The Department believes the problem was an anomaly, and the Department has not received any other constituent concerns since that first call.

The Department considers OffenderWatch to be a vastly superior tool for the public to use when inquiring about registered sex offenders, a significant upgrade to the previous platform used to manage the Registry.

“I got to be honest with all of this it feels like nobody is paying attention,” says Kenny.

All the info that wasn’t visible you can now see on the site. It’s been fixed thanks to one very determined mom, Annie Kenny.

Maryland mom calls for more restrictions on lifetime sex offenders

by Scott Taylor, ABC7 Tuesday, February 11th 2020

WASHINGTON (ABC7) — “HI, my name is Ann Kenny, I am a single mother of three daughters from St. Mary’s County,” says Annie Kenny in front of the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee.

She is asking Maryland lawmakers to overhaul state guidelines on sex offenders by requiring lifetime supervision in Senate Bill 320.

Right now in Maryland, the majority of registered sex offenders are only supervised for a maximum of five years during probation even though many are on the State’s Sex Offender Registry for 15 to 25 years or life.

Kenny wants enforceable supervision or restrictions for lifetime offenders.

"I know sexual abuse, especially in children, is a topic people don't want to talk about. It is heartbreaking and painful,” says Annie Kenny on her change.org petition. aa

Last spring, Kenny, created a change.org campaign after learning it isn’t a crime for a convicted child sex offender to sleep in the same bed with a minor and some offenders can legally contact kids through electronic devices with no parental supervision.

Kenny thought she had the answer last year in a bill that had more restrictions but that bill never reached the floor for a vote.

Did you know that currently in the State of Maryland, it is not against the law for a Tier III Registered Sex Offender to be alone with a minor?  It is considered child neglect or endangerment to leave a young child home alone or in a car, but you can tuck a child into bed next to a convicted pedophile and walk away for the night having committed no crime.
