Continuing my DEPOSITION bringing examples of environmental structures enabling the kind of crimes tied to NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG-----the societal attitudes promoted by global banking cultural arts FADS------as MONSTERS, INC......I now move from my home and building surrounded by NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG------describing hierarchy of POWER and MONEY-----to how this model is mirrored on a larger scale with INSTITUTIONAL CAMPUSES and CORPORATE PROPERTY such as HOTELS, HIGH-RISE RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS. I want to use the article below as an example of how Baltimore's institutional leaders KNOW there is a growing proliferation of SEXUAL ATTACKS----SEXUAL PREDATOR crimes in each  community in Baltimore.  This time we are seeing CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE--------in FOSTER CARE -----while this article makes no mention of saturated illegal surveillance PORNOGRAPHY all around global hedge fund corporation JOHNS HOPKINS' campuses.

While creating research articles claiming to desire social benefit in protecting children from SEXUAL ASSAULT----CHILD SEXUAL ASSAULT are soaring through illegal surveillance NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG pornography networks. 

THESE INSTITUTION KNOW THIS.

The next point I will make is this:  it does not take a ROCKET SCIENTIST to understand the PROGRESSION from NON-CONTACT SEXUAL ASSAULTS as with NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG -----to VIOLENT PHYSICAL SEXUAL ASSAULTS of men via SODOMY----of women via RAPE----of children via pedophilia physical contact and rape.

So, the societal attitudes when saturated NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance pornography filled with NON-CONTACT SEXUAL ASSAULT escalates to PHYSICAL ASSAULTS----well, that's OK-----the women caught in illegal surveillance pornography------they were prostitutes so they ASKED FOR IT.  This children captured as non-contact porn----well, back in 1000BC sex with children was norm say far-right wing global banking 5% freemason/Greek PLAYERS---CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA.


Sexual Abuse: An Epidemic in Foster Care Settings?

FIND MORE LEGAL ARTICLES



Children who have unstable homes are often placed in foster homes. This placement may occur because the home life is volatile. Often, foster care is treated as a temporary solution while the parent or parents in the home work on problems to later become reunited with their children. However, children may be raped, molested or sexually abused in these settings.



Prevalence of the Problem

Approximately 530,000 children in the United States live in foster care at any given time. Some of these children are placed in foster care because they have been sexually abused, abused in other ways or neglected. Unfortunately, many of these children are again abused in the foster care setting.



A study by John Hopkins University found that children who are in foster care are four times more likely to be sexually abused than other children not in this setting. Additionally, children who are in group homes are 28 times more likely to be abused than children not living in these homes.



Male and female children may be sexually abused. Likewise, very young children to nearly adult children can be abused in these settings.


What Is Sexual Abuse?

Sexual abuse is unwanted sexual behavior, such as touching, kissing, groping or penetrating a child who is not legally able to consent to such contact. Additionally, it can include acts that do not involve touching, such as taking inappropriate pictures of a sexual nature of a child.



Who Are the Abusers?

Abusers can be anyone. They do not necessarily have a criminal record of abuse. They can be the foster parents. They could also be employees for group homes, foster care workers, social workers, religious advisors, teachers or others in the child’s life. It is common for sexual predators to use their position in the child’s life to take advantage of the child.



Signs of Sexual Abuse


There are often a number of signs that may arise if a child is being abused. Younger children may be more likely to revert to child-like behaviors such as thumb sucking or wetting the bed. They may use inappropriate words to describe their genitals and other private parts. They may refuse to remove their clothing when necessary, such as to toilet, change a diaper or take a bath. They may start to act out sexually with peers or others. They may play with their toys, using suggestive language or actions indicative of sexual behavior. They may wet themselves when around the abuser.


Adolescents are often coerced into sexual abuse. They may be threatened and may be afraid to tell a loved one what is going on. Adolescents who are being sexually abused are more likely to be sexually promiscuous, do drugs, drink alcohol, run away from home and try to commit suicide. They may engage in self-injury or may compulsively eat or diet. They may be afraid to get close to others and may appear depressed or anxious.


Children who are being abused may have some physical warning signs, such as having blood on their undergarments. They may have pain when using the bathroom or have discoloration or discharges in certain areas of their body.



Many behavioral signs may point to abuse. Not every behavioral change is dispositive that abuse is occurring. However, if several signs are present, a loved one may want to investigate further into the possibility of sexual abuse being present. A child being sexually abused may have nightmares or have trouble sleeping. He or she may have a sudden change in eating habits or may refuse to eat. The child may think of their body as gross or bad. He or she may talk about a new older friend or refuse to share a secret shared with an older friend. He or she may be fearful around certain people or in certain settings. He or she may have sudden and unexplained mood swings or may socially withdraw.


Legal Action Against the Foster Care Agency

Foster care agencies are often required to follow strict protocol regarding how they vet foster parents and conduct extensive background checks. However, these procedures may not always be followed, or a foster parent may develop ways to get around them. In some cases, a foster care agency may be held liable for harm that befalls the child, such as if the foster care agency was negligent in the child’s placement. However, sometimes foster care agencies are state governmental programs, which may have immunity from such lawsuits. It is important to contact an experienced lawyer to discuss the possibility of pursuing a claim against a negligent foster care agency.

*************************************************************
I will make the case of RACKETEERING to include PUBLIC OFFICIALS-----AKA POLITICAL MACHINES to be front-and-center in these NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG networks.  This is the RICO RACKETEERING side of this case. 

If my Baltimore political are too BUSY operating NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG operations---they will not be ENFORCING city codes and legal statutes surrounding protection of citizens/children from SEXUAL PREDATORS




'According to our research of Maryland and other state lists there were 1,647 registered sex offenders living in Baltimore as of February 28, 2019. The ratio of number of residents in Baltimore to the number of sex offenders is 373 to 1'.


My living space/building is block away from a ELEMENTARY SCHOOL filled with children whose parents mostly here in my community surrounded by NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG SEXUAL PREDATORS.


This chart below would indicate the concentration of registered sexual offenders are in communities surrounding BALTIMORE----ie. Baltimore County.  My premise will be these sexual offenders are highly likely to be recruited by NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG-----HOSTING SERVER level person----to be THE GANG part of the network.  THE GANG function in installing inside and outside buildings all that illegal surveillance infrastructure and devices.  THE GANG functions as WATCHING the movement of a targeted victim LEAVING A LOCATION to come home for example so that NOSY NEIGHBOR is at the computer ready to capture illegal surveillance with undressing, hard porn sexual activity,  soft porn nudity.

I definitely do not assume ALL FORMER SEXUAL OFFENDER are repeaters----but statistics show heavy RECIDIVISM in the category of SEXUAL CRIMES.


Baltimore, MD ratio of number of residents to the number of sex offenders compared to nearest cities:


(Note: Higher values mean more residents per sex offender)


Arbutus: 21,594
Lansdowne: 8,419
Woodlawn: 4,993
Towson: 3,660
Brooklyn Park: 2,875
Parkville: 794
Rosedale: 647
Dundalk: 570
Baltimore: 373


Baltimore, MD ratio of number of residents to the number of sex offenders compared to county and state: (Note: Higher values mean more residents per sex offender) Maryland: 922 Baltimore city County: 431 Baltimore: 373



So, in my community not only do THE BALTIMORE POLICE------the BALTIMORE CITY COUNCIL------the COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, but institutional campuses like GLOBAL HEDGE FUND CORPORATION JOHNS HOPKINS.  My community cannot be saturated with NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance and pornography if these organizations are FUNCTIONING----ENFORCING EXISTING LAWS SURROUNDING SEXUAL ASSAULT----SEXUAL PREDATORS.

COMMUNITY INSTITUTIONS AS 'ANCHORS' IGNORING SATURATED NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG ACTIVITY----- NO SOCIAL BENEFIT----

Below I show psychological profile of SEXUAL PREDATOR looks much like the profile I developed in my DEPOSITION over these several months.



'Psychological factors associated with a higher risk of recidivism among perpetrators of sexual assault


Intensity of sexual preoccupations Sexual preference for prepubescent or pubescent children Sexualized violence Presence of multiple paraphilias (e.g. voyeurism, fetishism)

Attitudes supportive of sexual assault Emotional congruence with children Lack of emotional intimacy with adults Manifestations of impulsiveness Difficulty resolving problems Opposition to rules and legal supervision Negative social influences' 



What is the legal distance a registered sex offender can live near a school or a park?


Question: Dear Stop It Now!,

My daughter and grandchildren live in a neighborhood with a long list of sexual offenders. One of them lives less than 0.3 of a mile from a high school. Is it legal for a registered sex offender to live that close to a school or park?

Response: 

Dear Concerned Grandparent,Restrictions such as the ones you refer to in your email vary according to the status of each individual registered sex offender. Restrictions usually apply to registered offenders living in the community who are under court-ordered supervision through parole or probation. But when an offender has served out his or her sentence and is no longer under court-ordered supervision by the criminal justice department, they typically would not have to comply to any restrictions.



Residency Restrictions Depend on Local Laws


Residency restrictions vary by distance (500 to 2000 feet from places where children tend to congregate) and by community. I would encourage you to take a look at the FAQs from the Center for Sex Offender Management . See especially “Managing Known Sex offenders” and “Where Sex Offenders Can Live”. To learn how you can find out more about a specific individual’s case, read the section “Specific Cases and Concerns” under the FAQs.




Sex Offenders Have Different Levels of Risk


It’s also important to understand registered sex offenders pose different levels or risk. For instance, a registered offender is less likely to re-offend if they have received sex offender treatment, if they are being supervised through the criminal justice system (has a parole officer), has employment and some type of support system, such as family members.



When a registered offender is not able to re-integrate in a safe way into the community they are more likely to take on a life style (being homeless, alone, unemployed) that could increase the risk of re-offending. There is also a difference in the offenders listed on the registry in this way: some are there for sexual offenses against adults, not children. Please also see our FAQs on the Sex Offender Registry and our prevention tool, Concerned about a sex offender in your neighborhood from our website.


Safety Planning


It is always important for parents and other adults to know Warning Signs in adults or children that might possibly indicate child sexual abuse, as well as to talk to their children about healthy sexuality and the differences between appropriate and inappropriate touching. Additionally, parents and adults should keep safety planning in the forefront all the time, not just when a potentially "dangerous" situation is presented. By designing and following simple but clear safety plans, adults are helping the whole family develop boundaries and guidelines for all times. Please see our prevention tools online, including
  • Everyday Actions to Keep Kids Safe
  • Create your family safety plan
  • Talking to children and teens
I hope these resources will help your family as they think about safety
Take care,
Stop It Now!

Are there restrictions on where sex offenders can live?

Yes, most states have residency restrictions for sex offenders. In many states, sex offenders are not allowed to live within a certain distance from "child safety zones," which typically includes schools, childcare facilities, parks, playgrounds, and other areas frequented by children. The exact restrictions vary by state.

Looking at SPY CAMERA AND MICROPHONE industry products being released knowing citizens will be made VULNERABLE to illegal surveillance and pornography capture----the SPY PRODUCTS are heavily marketing and developed for CORPORATE/INSTITUTIONAL SETTING.

Below I show BLACK-OPS PLASTIC made just for hiding the smallest of spy cameras.  Many of these products----black plastic will be bought and installed in HOTELS/RESIDENTIAL temporary living HOTELS------in institutional patient suites/rooms et al.  This will extend yet another avenue of VULNERABILITY to NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance pornography. 

WHO CHECKS INSIDE THESE KINDS OF PRODUCTS AS DECOR IN HOTEL ROOMS----PATIENT SUITE SPACE?  NO ONE.


An institution or corporation like HOTEL which buy BLACK OP PLASTIC PRODUCTS saying they didn't place a camera inside these items-----it's not our responsibility.....

OH, REALLY?????


'Only cameras can see through Black-Ops Plastic


By Matthew Humphries 06.30.2012 :: 10:02AM EST'

Monitoring a location or person with a camera or microphone has become a lot easier in recent years due to cameras having much higher resolutions while being fitted into ever smaller devices. Just about every smartphone now carries a high resolution camera capable of recording video along with a decent microphone.


If you want to record someone covertly though, you still have the issue of hiding your recording devices from view. You’re also going to want to leave them recording for long periods of time without being discovered. Qwonn, a manufacture of security products, has come up with the perfect solution to this problem and is calling Black-Ops Plastic.


If you want to record someone covertly though, you still have the issue of hiding your recording devices from view. You’re also going to want to leave them recording for long periods of time without being discovered. Qwonn, a manufacture of security products, has come up with the perfect solution to this problem and is calling Black-Ops Plastic.

The material is black in color and cannot be seen through with the naked eye. However, if you point a black and white camera at a sheet of Black-Ops Plastic, it becomes transparent allowing the camera to record whatever is on the other side.



What this means is you can hide a camera inside an object made of this special plastic and no one will know it is there. But the camera is free to record without having its view blocked.


As you can see from the images above, Black-Ops Plastic can be shaped into many different objects. Qwonn claim they can produce virtually any shape required for your spying needs.



Beyond a few images there’s very little detail as to how the plastic works. It’s patent pending so you can understand why Qwonn wouldn’t want to share much detail about it. The one thing it will guarantee though, is that everyone is more suspicious of shiny black plastic objects from now on.

So, now a family on vacation must throw a DRESSING SCREEN into the trunk to protect family while traveling staying at HOTELS/BED BREAKFAST as well as professionals traveling for business-----more and more request to CONCIERGE services to BRING THESE DRESSING SCREENS TO HOTEL ROOMS


CONCIERGE -------DRESSING SCREEN TO MY HOTEL ROOM PLEASE!



Privacy Screens, Room Dividers, Privacy Panels, Hospital Curtains, Medical Furniture, Partitions

Privacy screens, also called privacy panels, can shield an individual from others in a variety of settings involving healthcare, the military, education, or disaster relief. They may be self-standing and portable so they can be located wherever the need arises, or they may be stationary, and permanently attached to a ceiling.

What are Room Dividers?

Room dividers, sometimes referred to as room partitions, are devices that allow the space in a room to be divided into areas or subsections. The use of room dividers, in some cases, has to do with a decorating theme for the space. At other times, the reason for using a room divider is more functional than decorative. There are basically two types of room dividers. The first type is a folding divider, also called a privacy screen. It normally involves a series of panels that are hinged together, and is free standing. Generally, a privacy screen has three or more panels, but some only have two panels for smaller areas. The panels are unfolded and positioned in a way that sections off part of a room. Privacy screens can be used in bedrooms to create a changing area, or to create a visual distinction between a living and sleeping space. Many privacy screens are used in healthcare, military, education, or disaster relief settings and scenarios to give people privacy from others, or from a crowd.

The second type of room divider is the accordion style, often called a privacy curtain. Privacy curtains are mounted in metal tracks which run across the ceiling area. This makes it easy to slide them into place when necessary. Depending on the size of the space, one or more sets of privacy curtains may be installed. This design is often used in patient rooms of a hospital or a healthcare facility in order to be able to give patients privacy on demand.

One of the benefits of room dividers is the ability to manage sound in the space. For example, in an office setting, the partitions can separate a larger space into several work areas to help minimize the sounds created by the various employees in that space. While the effect is usually not as definitive as placing the employees in different rooms, the use of partitions help make it possible to contain enough of the sounds so that employees are not distracted by each other.

Room dividers not only add functionality, but can also add an element of visual interest to the space. This can be true in any area they are used in. Partitions made of panels may be covered in print fabrics or painted with any type of design that suits its use. Both types of room dividers are available in a wide range of colors, making them more attractive and welcoming as part of the overall design.
