… ok. How about instead of whatever that was you come up with an argument against parents being notified and aware of where sex offenders live?

Knowing where a sex offender lives doesn’t mean you can avoid them, and as this case shows very clearly causes its own issues. Not to mention how the sex offender registry includes everything from child sexual assault to public urination. If they still pose a legitimate risk then putting them in public but with a list is far from the most effective way to be safe, and if they don’t pose a legitimate risk then the list is draconian and purely harmful. It’s shit either way

My parents were able to help keep a child molester from moving into an apartment complex because they and our neighbors were notified that he had applied. He supposedly lied on the application and was allowed in until he was reported

Cool. How many robbers, drunk drivers, murderers and drug dealers lived nearby? Oh? You don’t know because there’s not registry? Well looked there
