John Walsh Promotes Anal Implants --originally posted Thursday, July 27, 2006 is one of Smashed Frog's most widely read posts.
Time for a second run.
This blogger, a 43 year resident of Florida, very much remembers the circumstances leading to the kidnapping of Adam Walsh. As a young parent during this time, the blogger grieved with the Walsh family at the loss of their child and empathized with Reve Walsh regarding her decision to leave her son unsupervised to play video games at Sears.John Walsh recently lent his efforts to "protect America's children" against predators that offend children. So many empathize with this family and because of the horror of the child's loss, all common sense completely flies from the heads of anyone who has ever cared for a child...parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, sisters, brothers, and extended family and friends.
This "association by proxy" stuffs the incredibly disturbing finding of Adam's partial remains way back into the most primitive parts of our brain.
We don't want to question the facts many don't want to remember.
Two career criminals lured Adam from Sears.
One guy was a serial killer.
The boy was left unsupervised. In South Florida. And in the blink of an eye, Adam was gone... forever.
The Walsh's attempted to sue Sears. Sears argued that Adam's abduction was caused by the "negligence of the mother."
John and Reve Walsh later dropped their lawsuit with the promise of no further legal action. (A Child's Tragedy, A Parent's Character, Steven J. Milloy, CNSNews, 2000).
Sears is a retail business, not a day care facility.
Mr. Walsh effectively lent his strong arm lobby behind the recent passage of the Adam Walsh Act because the original bill, The Children's Safety Act, was heading no where fast.
The man who appears on America's television once weekly is difficult to ignore, especially when he speaks of the circumstances of his son's kidnapping and death; however, his continued statements that the boy was sexually abused are simply inaccurate.
No one will ever know if the sexual abuse occurred. Adam's body was not found.
My first question behind Walsh's involvement in this bill, was why now? Why 25 years later? Why not then?
With the recent Yates verdict, "guilty by reason of insanity", what I find compelling is the obsession of the press with the ex-husband of Andrea Yates, the charges fired by the press regarding how he could leave his five children in the care of such a woman? Didn't he realize the extent of her mental illness? Did he compromise the safety of his own children?
Which leads to my point.
Did Reve Walsh protect her child to the best of her ability?
The truth behind Walsh's support of the Adam Walsh Act lies in the answer of that question.
The article below is provided the reader as an insight into the mind of John Walsh, a man who should be extremely satisfied that this legislation was pushed through, regardless of the misinformation, mistruths, and the manipulation of procedures used by the 109th Congress in order to push this bill through both Houses.
The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act is signed into law by the Prez today, July 27, 2006.
The federal government is now officially parenting your children.
An Explosive Interview

PASADENA, Calif., July 25 People who molest children should have chips embedded in the rectum that would explode if they violate their parole, "America's Most Wanted" star John Walsh told a photographer for Fox and father of two at Summer TV Press Tour 2006 as a couple dozen speechless TV critics looked on.
Bet all those other critics who'd bailed out early felt pretty silly missing what turned out to be the highlight of the now 16-day-old tour.
A minute or so later Walsh said he'd been kidding, though he had a "not really" look in his eyes. He said it was the second time he'd used the joke and no one laughed last time either.
Meanwhile, the freelance photographer, who'd been hired to take photos during Fox's two days of the tour, was relieved of his responsibilities for the rest of the day for monopolizing Walsh's onstage time with their interesting exchange about child-tracking technology, sex-offender-tracking technology -- "pervert alert," the photographer called it -- and a comparison of repeat molesters to rabid dogs that need to be put down.
Both Walsh and the photographer, who declined to give his name, said bracelets on sex offenders did not work. "Bracelets are [horseradish]," the photographer said to Walsh as stunned critics looked on. Walsh agreed, saying, "I love your attitude."
Walsh told the critics that when he was talking to senators about electronic monitoring of sex offenders, "I said implant it in their anus and if they go outside the radius, explode it, and that would send a big message."
Walsh said it was a joke, adding, "Nobody thought it was funny."
Continuing his riveting performance, he said his wife had suggested that when he went to Washington to stump for the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, he ask all the congressmen who he thought were holding up the legislation named in honor of his son whether they were child molesters or if they had child porn on their computers.
"I said, 'Reve, I don't really use that tack walking through the halls.' But leave it to the mother of a murdered child to cut to the chase."
That would seem to include Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), who, Walsh said, had slowed things down by attaching to the bill "a huge hate-crimes piece of legislation that was very controversial." Kennedy eventually removed the hate-crime bits, Walsh said. The bill passed on Tuesday.
Walsh appeared at Summer TV Press Tour 2006 to promote the fact that on Saturday his popular series will be a taped broadcast of the White House signing on Thursday of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, which will create a national sex-offender registry.
July 27 marks the 25th anniversary of the abduction and murder of Walsh's 6-year-old son. This September marks the start of the 20th season of Walsh's catch-a-perp series on the Fox network.
