MINNEAPOLIS — Patty Wetterling just wanted the person who kidnapped her son to be caught.
She never imagined her pursuit would lead to the creation of a list of more than 18,000 predatory offenders in Minnesota that could include children as young as 10 years old.
"It was never intended to have 10-year-olds on the sex offender registry," said Wetterling, whose son Jacob was abducted and murdered in 1989 when he was 11. "It would be laughable if it wasn't so devastating."
