I don't think it matters where they live. What matters is where they slither around at day and night. They should have to ware a sign so you know where they are and who they are at all times. If you hurt a child you should automaticly lose any rights you have period.

I get the Sexual predator email alert in my area & just the other day i received an alert of a Predator that had been released from jail & it gave me the address that he gave & I had notice he gave the Elementary School address for his address. I called FDLE from who I get the email alert from to let them know that hey this is a school address & my daughter does go there. They said they would get on it & call our local police department to track him down, but right across the street from the school is a trailer park & 4 Sexual Predators live in there. To me that is dangerous & shouldn't be aloud that close to a school.

Many people in low income levels ( a favorite place for these people to prey) do not have internet access to find out about sex offenders. There really needs to be a better alert system for the public at large.

No matter what the experts say, I don't believe they can be rehabilitated. The punishment should fit the crime. If and when they are released from prison, they should be CLOSELY SUPERVISED!!!!!! I
t seems to me that a lot of their "so-called" case-workers, parole officers or whoever, don't really viist them in their places of residency. If they did, would police officers be finding dead bodies or kidnap victims in their homes?
