What people don’t realize is that neighbors could have been able to watch over the occasion 1 or 2 sex offenders in a neighborhood. The law requires sex offenders to be 17 deep, all together making it difficult for neighbors to keep an eye on all of them. The sex offender used to live a block away from the school where parents could watch the property of the sex offender as they lined up the block 20 minutes before the kids are let out. The nearby children to the sex offender played at the park at school that is supervised. Now he is required to move far from the school and the watchful eyes of parents. There are no parents walking their kids to school in the sex offender’s new neighborhood. The kids have no safe park to retreat to. Instead they play in the parking lot where 17 sex offenders live. Some sex offenders can’t find homes to rent. No one wants to give a lease to the sex offender. So the sex offender hangs out in bars and spends the night with the single mom’s they meet at bars. Some states like Wisconsin restrict RSO from moving to a new city. They can only live in the city they caught the charge in. The logic is the sex offender MUST live in the city where he is familiar with the the children. In Florida kids are safer with sex offenders wandering the streets than if they were alone in a home. All this makes sense to lawmakers.

In reply to Rome.

THIS is correct. And even more people would have been in favor of “keep it, but reform it,” had they been asked.

Public awareness and attitudes have a long way to go but are far better than the hysteria of 3-10 years ago. Now if somebody in our state would just mount a primary challenge against Sen. Book…

In reply to Capt Charles Munsey Jr. USN Ret. Charles, I totally agree with you, it seems to me that we have a long ways to go to educate the public.

In reply to joseph.

look at history..its always fun to watch lions RIP strangers apart, or to picnic with the smell of burning human flesh, or buy souvenirs and take the kiddos to watch a crucifixion…..as long as it’s not you its entertainment right?….Leading cause of death last year was the MURDER of human babies by dismembering and lethal injection…do you really expect a conscience from creatures that horrifically evil?..the behavior they are calling legal and screaming in support of makes the worst sex crime right now seem trivial news…really..humanity is something humanity doesn’t have.

74% voted not to do away with the registry. Nobody likes to walk on others shoes until they or a loved one is forced to walk those shoes.
