It’s in the news again today. Registered sex offenders may be forced to move because they live too close to schools or parks.
I wrote recently about parents having the right to know whether registered sex offenders are living in your neighborhood; regretfully, I must say my concerns seem well founded.
Registered sex offenders are prohibited from living within 2000 feet from a school or park: areas where children congregate, according to Jessica’s Law which tracks them. It seems 2,700 registered felons are in violation of this law and are now being forced to relocate.
With 400-700 sexual predators released from prison each month, we must be mindful of the safety of our children. Know who lives in your neighborhood.
