Mods feel free to move this if its not in the right spot.


I get the mail today and there is a notice from the police department in it. I open it and am shocked to see that its a notice saying we have a LEVEL 3 sex offender moving in on the street right behind our house! -worried- We live on a loop and nearly every house on our loop has children. This makes me sick! We get this notice but there is nothing we can do. The bus stop for the kids is on the same side of the loop as where this jerk is going to be living. Yes, there are adults down there in the mornings but its not always possible for an adult to be down there to walk the kids home in the afternoon. The kids do all walk together but still.

I just dont understand how a level 3 offender (likely to reaffend) can be allowed to live in a neighborhood w/ children after what he was convicted of and we as parents are just supposed to stand by and do nothing or keep our children locked in the house to keep them safe. This just isnt right!! :furious:

There is a community meeting but its not until Nov. 17th and imo that is just too long to wait for a meeting.

I would definetly call the bus company and have the stop moved closer to someone who would be available to watch the kids evryday. I hope something can be done for you, I can't imagine how they are allowed to be anywhere around children.

ohhhh I am so sorry for you!!!! That is one of my biggest fears, and now you're having to live it. I just don't feel that sex offenders should have the right to re-enter society as if nothing ever happened. Sure, it's good to be warned by the police department, but that's all it is, a warning. Are they going to make sure this jerk doesn't do this again? No, probably not. It's the same as seeing a "Warning: Beware of Dog" sign posted on someone's yard. You'll do your best to avoid the dog, but there is no guarantee that dog won't bust through that fence! That makes me angry, and I really feel for you. I don't know what I'd do if I received that notice. I'm sure there are some "legal" ways to make this guy's life uncomfortable and maybe he'll move....but you didn't hear that from me....

Right and if you can, make sure you WATCH your kids get on and off the buss each time. Or take turns with a neighbor doing it. Make sure you practice the safty rules with your kids, ya know 'don't talk to strangers, don't go near his house, don't go near the car even if he said he is looking for his puppy or candy'. Also have the private part speech again amd MAKE sure if told to keep a secret, they don't!! Always tell an adult if someone suspicous is lurking....

Ugh, isn't it aweful what we have to teach our kids?? I don't remember it being like that when I was a kid!

Back together!! Sept 28th Boston TDCenter!! Woohooooo!

This happened to a friend of mine and he put a sign in his front yard saying that there was a sex offender and what his name and address was. It caused a rukus, but I think it would send a strong message if everyone in your neighborhood did it. Maybe this guy would leave because he felt harrased. They should NEVER get out of jail.

Is level 3 a child molester?

If you tell your secrets to the wind... Don't be mad if it tell's the trees.

I dont know about your town but in mine a level 3 offender can not be anywhere near the children. I would go online to your state department of law enforcement and put in his name and see what the conditions of his release are. Then I would watch him very close, if he breaks those conditions then I would be calling the police each and every time. Believe me they would like nothing more than to bust him and put him back where he belongs. I know in our town they can not be anywhere near kids, if he is at the bus stop or near kids call immediatly, also most are not suppose to have kids living with them so if you see kids in that house call. In our neighborhood when a guy moved in neighbors posted his picture all over the place and he knew that we all knew what he was!! Some may say "what about his rights" but I say "What about them?" You have to keep your kids safe and that is the most important thing! You hear way to many times how a child became a victim because the parents had no idea that someone like that was living right down the street so at least you are ahead of the game and are educated about him. I would also tell your children the truth, that there is someone in that house that will hurt them if given the chance and that they must never go there, it may scare them but it will keep them safe.

Well, I do know that I do NOT want him here period. I dont feel he had the right to live where children are present after what he did. I am going to call the detective that is listed on the flyer and see about getting the meeting moved up and what I can do legally to protect the kids and just get all the info I can.

This one is yes! level 3 means that he is probably going to do this to another child its just a matter of time. The sicko was convicted of molesting and raping a child!

Our city passed a law that no registered sex offender can live within 1000 feet of a school or daycare (I think library is included but not positive). Print off his picture and tell your children that he did very bad things and they are not to talk to him. Ask if the bus route can be changed. It's a hard process but it can be done. A coworker had the bus stop right in front of the pediphile's house until she screamed loud enough for that to change.
