PLEASE COMMENT ON THE SOURCE: What do you think about Jacksonville not enforcing the sign requirement for sex offenders on Halloween?
Two registered sex offenders filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Jacksonville because they want to decorate for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays. Thursday, the offenders asked the judge to pause the city sign requirement outside their home because they believe it’s unconstitutional.
Sex offenders in Jacksonville are required to have signs posted outside their home that read “no candy or treats here” so that children don’t trick-or-treat at their homes on Halloween. Because of the lawsuit, the city of Jacksonville has agreed not to enforce the sign requirement while the case is under judicial review.
Parents will need to check the sex offender registry before they go trick-or-treating if they want to avoid those homes.
We want to hear from you. What do you think about the city not enforcing the sign requirement for sex offenders on Halloween?

Hey Rachel d, thanks for asking your question: “It’s long overdue. Recidivism among offenders is astronomically low and most kids tend to be sexually abused by people they know and trust. ”
If we’re able to investigate it further, we’ll email you
Feel free to encourage your friends to ask questions, too!

I sent the link to the ATSA (Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers) Halloween policy position page: https://www.atsa.com/policy/ATSAHalloween2019.pdf
I also posted the link on the comments page with the admonition “Let’s help END sexual abuse by learning the facts. “
This idea has got to be the dumbest things I heard in a long while. Parents accompany children trick or treating. in most Areas police are very visible wherever halloweeners are. There has not been a recorded incident of sexual predators toward halloweeners ever. Why should those who have paid their debt and continue as law abiding citizens be subjected to more rights being taken away. if they learned their lesson they should be left alone.
please share your comments at the source
Duval’s Halloween ordinance has completely failed to prevent child sexual abuse. The time to retire this ordinance is long overdue.
(That’s my take, and about all I had room to say).
FYI they are now running a new story https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2022/09/22/city-of-jacksonville-wont-enforce-sign-requirement-for-sex-offenders-on-halloween-due-to-federal-lawsuit/
Why don’t we have a map displayed over Jacksonville houses that have been arrested for a DUI, so I know which drivers I need to worry about. Just made it to the 140
Limit. Was my submission.
If convicted twice of a dui (or once for dui manslaughter), i suggest a big magnetic sign that says “DUI driver” required to be visible from the back of the car, and which the driver can move from car to car. You know, for safety. Actually really for safety and not a bad idea if i say so myself.
