The answer might surprise parents.
A KCTV5 News Investigation started with a look into the laws regarding juvenile sex offenders, and it didn't take long to find a case in the Kansas City metropolitan area that will leave parents wondering who is sitting next to their children?
A 12-year-old girl, a sixth-grader at Fire Prairie Middle School in the Fort Osage School District, was forced to see a 13-year-old boy who sexually assaulted her.
The boy molested the girl while she was at a friend's house.
She kept it secret for months.
"He committed rape and sodomy and forced oral sex and forced her to perform it on him," said Renee, the girl's mother.
She and her daughter went to police and filed a report. Prosecutors filed charges, and the boy later pleaded guilty to two counts of molestation.
But the girl's ordeal didn't end there.
She was forced to see her attacker everyday at school.
"They're in the same lunchroom," Renee said. "She does tell me, 'Today he gave me such an evil look.'"
If a juvenile is not required to register, then there is no way for parents to find out about that person's conviction.
Renee said, "This puts other children in danger. Juvenile offenders have got to be somewhere away from the main population."
