Troopers say a helicopter crew with the Air National Guard spotted Jacobsen Thursday and troopers caught up with him as he was crossing Holkam Bay south of Juneau.

Burke, maybe in your case your abuse was parental neglect but that statement is so far off base it is unbelievable! As a parent, I'm supposed to be with my child 24/7, not let her out of my sight? What about the kids that are abused by their uncles, brothers, sisters, relatives, preachers, teachers? I'm sorry but I am a very DEDICATED parent and so far I've gotten pretty lucky but what if she wants to go camping with her girl scout troop? How about the sleep over with the church group or slumber party at her friend’s house? I'm supposed to tell her "no" or go with her for each and every event? Until she's 18? How about band camp or if she travels for a sporting event? I was abused by my preacher, a man who had a very good albeit falsely earned good name in our town. When I told my mom she was the one that got him run out of town, she's the one that got me into counseling and help me deal what this sick man did, how is that neglectful? Statistically one in four girls will be sexually abused by the time they are 18 years of age - how can you say that all of that abuse is caused by parental neglect
burke-CHILD ABUSE IS PARENTAL NEGLECT.
It is unbelievable how ignorant you are on a subject so widely talked about! That statement alone should discredit every single comment you make on this site again!
Next your going to tell us that only homosexuals get AIDS!
Did I miss something? Was the article about a sexual predator and not a child abuser? Burke- did you fall of the meds and snap or what? Do you know anything about the parents needing to go out and spend time as two adults so that they dont ruin there relationship with the daily grind? Personally, I find your comments to show that you dont have children (or you would know better than to make such a blanketed comment) so really you dont have a position to speak from.
burke
I hope that you do not have any kids, for their sake!!!!
Child abusers can not be rehab'd Lock them up for life or excute them
that is the only answer.
And he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids.Lol.

Oops, sorry Newsminer. It's not a matter of parent neglect but it's about knowing the signs your child is being abused. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have a lot of good information on this subject and on how to protect your child. Also keep in mind most cases don't involve strangers. It can be members of your family and it's not always male to female abuse it can be male to male and female to female.
The article didn't elaborate if this was a child abuse offender. Sex offenders can be rapist of an adult.
