Huh. Stupid people do stupid things. Happens all the time.
I have two kids. I would not strike a known sex offender who spoke to them. I would watch the interaction to make sure it was appropriate and make sure that my boys understand that they are never to be alone with that individual. That's about it. If they touch my child inappropriately in front of me, I might strike them, but that's neither assualt nor battery.
In other words, she's a moron, the law's a failure and, if I remember the last really heated discussion on this particular topic from about three years ago, MM is right that analog is an asshole. (just to resurrect the dead)
