In reply to Capt Charles Munsey Jr. USN (Ret). The pendulum swings slow for those who have no voting rights anymore. The politicians have found too many ways to exploit Sex Offenders for purely political reasons. Placing one group of people in a pariah category will eventually cause to many problems for social integration. That's the political plan! Viola! Perpetual prisoner group. The Jews had a yellow star. Americans should not be subjected to uncivilized, inhumane treatment. What would The Founding Fathers think of this. One day America will reflect on this time & ask,"What were we thinking?", but until then many American citizens will subjected to this incivility.

In reply to Florida Action Committee. I think society would fear it & create a law or ordinance prohibiting any offender from living within 500 feet of another SO. Like Lake County Florida has done.

My son is being uprooted and evicted from living with his uncle who is the only family he has down in Florida and the only source of stability that is able to deal with my son’s memtal health issues. My son was just released and went back to live with my brother in his apartment and within a week the apartment complex put a note on the door saying they were being evicted. Apparently someone looking for an apartment did a check and reported to management that my son was living there. They put a note on the door telling my brother and son they had 7 days to vacate just because my son is on the registry. He does nothing but pretty much stays to himself in the apartment and is on probation. My brother tried talking to the property manager and explain that his nephew is being monitored and on regular probation not SO probation and has no residency restrictions but the manager told him he was following state law and then threatened my brother to NOT try and take any legal matter with this. I am very suspicious about this whole situation and as to the unprofessional way this notice was served. Wasn’t even done by mail just put on the door. The manager did say that if my son moves out then my brother can stay until the end of his lease. My son called his PO and Spot to inform them and his PO said that another offender is looking for a roommate and my son will probably go stay there just so he isn’t on the street but his mental health is something that really worries me as it is going haywire right now. I just don’t want this to be a set up to try and get my son for a violation of any kind and then we have more trouble. He is just trying to get through this so we can somehow move on. Our family has been turned upside down and we worry about our son, brother, uncle, grandson everyday.

In reply to Florida Action Committee. Not meant to do that, but I can see your point. I just meant for someplace safe and secure for S.O.s to call a home. Again, Sorry, not meant to be a leper colony! I just get so angry at people who treat S.O.s disrespectful and less than a person.

In reply to G.W.. I can understand the frustration in this comment. Having to travel 70 miles to get a haircut or 14 miles to get a loaf of bread...when a grocery store is only a mile or so from home is frustrating. The solution is educating people who should be knowledgeable on a subject before they go about destroying lives.

In reply to Capt Charles Munsey Jr. USN (Ret). CAPT that is coming in the near future. Everytime the Government label one of our loved ones; they put an entire family on the other side. Reason we are here.

In reply to G.W.. We don't need to buy a gated community, that fuels their desire to see registrants locked up and off limit. Pay the politicians, they work for the money.

In reply to G.W.. I think society would love that. A leper colony. Strongly against that idea.

If I had the money or win the lottery, I would buy an entire community for S.O.s only, with houses to live in (GATED) for our protection, away from any restricted zones, and post a great big sign saying ” IF YOU AREN’T A REGISTERED CITIZEN (s.o.) YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE, SO GET OUT” and see how everyone else likes being not welcome.

Education of our government officials is so important. They, who have only paranoia and media hype, to support their positions need to start listening to reality. There is so much good they could do if only they would open up to facts, even sit down with some of the SROs for honest, frank conversations. Many of the politicians seem to be afraid to do so. Maybe they are afraid that the harm they have been doing over the years will be revealed. I am so thankful for organizations like Florida Action Committee and NARSOL who seem to be able to gain at least a limited ear of those making laws.
