This kid should be a registered sex offender. Someone that young who commits an act such as this must be rehabilitated immediately. He is not safe living within the general community. I do not believe that sexual offenders or pedophiles can be rehabilitated. There are several studies that conclude the same thing.
Ruling: Teen sex offender must warn date's parents
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — An appeals court on Tuesday ordered a teenage sex offender to warn the parents of anyone he dates about his conviction until he turns 18.
Lawyers with the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender, which represented the youth, said they will appeal to the state Supreme Court. Tuesday's decision upheld an earlier ruling. The three-judge panel said that the unusual restriction placed on the teen did not violate the state's Juvenile Code or circumvent Megan's Law.
Megan's Law establishes a registration and notification system for sex offenders. The law is named for 7-year-old Megan Kanka, a New Jersey girl who was raped and killed in 1994 by a twice-convicted sex offender.
The defendant in Tuesday's case pleaded guilty in 2004 to committing a sex act against his 6-year-old half-sister when he was 14. His name and hometown have not been released because of rules protecting youthful offenders.

As a condition of probation, the judge in the case mandated the boy to notify the parents of anyone he dates about his conviction until he is no longer a juvenile. Several lawyers questioned how probation officers could enforce the restriction, because by doing so, they would have to define "dating."
