I'm not sure why you are being so hostile. It is impossible to be physically present with our children 24 hours a day, seven days a week once they become a certain age and have lives outside of the home. I think we have a reasonably legitimate right to make the environments we live in with our children as secure as possible without infringing on anyone else's rights. I can't recall reading anything NG has said that implied this young man's rights have been been infringed upon. You seem to be disputing that she should have reacted to the news in a negative or concerned way at all. I don't get why you are so angry about that.
That said, most cases of child molestation are perpetrated by someone the child knows. Tell me how we are to keep our children safe from people we believe they are safe around? How are we to keep our children safe if we learn to trust someone whose past we DON'T know about? Personally, as a parent, I'm a little offended by your remarks. Who the hell do you think you are?
