You don't get to judge anybody. Once criminal charges result, it's not you versus him anymore, it is the State of Indiana versus you. There may also be an action from the State of Indiana versus the other guy.

At the national level, the retrograde registration requirements have not been found unconstitutional. There has been some state action (and I have no idea if Indiana is one of them and I'm not inclined to look it up for you). However you do have a point on the wording of the statute. However, I suspect you will need the assistance of a lawyer for the exact way to ask for relief from registration.
Thanks flyingron I knew I wasn't crazy about the wording of the statute. I did however download the copy of the law on this subject from the government website and saw that the only part italicized was
"and the person who confined or removed the victim is not the victim’s parent or guardian."
So that won't work I'll just try to change it from lifetime registration because for that actual sexual conduct is required not just violent as in my case.

Since the change on July 21st (and the person who confined or removed the victim is not the victim’s parent or guardian) telling your son or daughter,"go to your room before I whoop your ass is actually considered criminal. Don't believe me? Look at the law.

IC 35-42-3-3
Criminal confinement
Sec. 3. (a) A person who knowingly or intentionally:
(1) confines another person without the other person's consent; or
(2) removes another person, by fraud, enticement, force, or threat of force, from one (1) place to another;
commits criminal confinement. Except as provided in subsection (b), the offense of criminal confinement is a Class D felony.
(b) The offense of criminal confinement defined in subsection (a) is:
(1) a Class C felony if:
(A) the person confined or removed is less than fourteen (14) years of age and is not the confining or removing person's child;
(B) it is committed by using a vehicle; or
(C) it results in bodily injury to a person other than the confining or removing person; and

Say you spank your kid and he doesn't want to get up, and you drag his ass from the living room to his bedroom (I have seen this from alot of parents). This is criminal. I have actually seen a dad who was on the sex offenders list for grabbing his daughter and putting her in the car when she didn't want to leave her boyfriends house or something like that. I forgot the exact circumstances but it was obsurd. They had to take him off the list later.
