Your post didnt offend me but I do have a question...even if they say they wont ever do it again, can anyone really trust their word? After all, they did commit a crime in the first place. No offense, but sex crimes isnt like getting a speeding ticket. Someone has to be really really sick to commit a sex crime especially against children.

It's well known that there is no cure for child molesters. Once out, they will reoffend again.
I recall reading a newspaper of a guy who was released from jail and 2 days later, he was caught red-handed by a cop who's been keeping an eye on him. The perv stuck his hand in the girl's underwear when the cop busted him and he ran. Didn't get very far as the cop had the taser on hand and nailed him.
Is that man a level 3 sex offender? If he is, it means he rapes children out of pure instinct, Meaning he puts no thought into it, he just do it.

one of the sex offenders in my area moved away because of all the harassment from his neighbors. if he left the house without a group of family members to protect him, he would get beaten. so he moved back to NY....
another offender around here: guy was in his late 50's,(59 i think) the girl was 12 when he started molesting her. they had a child. they are now married and the child they had together is now 13...

When I say "citation needed" it means that I want sources, something that has been researched by professionals (with credentials) that backs up your claim.

Isn't it a well-known fact that the majority of victims were molested/raped by a relative/family friend/friend? Even if there is a sex offender living in your area, you are highly unlikely to be victimized. Unless he is a serial rapist.
People have to be realistic, there is a large, and I mean large number of sex offenders and potential sex offenders out there. They can't all be accounted for because many has not been convicted of such a crime or even accused of to start with.
The important thing is, be aware of that person and make sure your children are safe. However, I strongly advise against rallying and making the sex offender's life a living hell because you may end up regretting your actions.
Your emotions can get the best of you if you let it take control of you.

Great post, it's better to learn how to control of yourself and keep eye on them instead of make their life so difficult.
I hope they wouldn't interfere your life or your families' life and I have never live in neighborhood that closer to sex offenders.

I have never gotten a notice or anything, but when the link was put up last night I checked it.
I found out a registered sex offender lives next door to me.
I also read that his crime was in 1988 and involved an adult. He is just an average grandfather.
I wonder do these people stay on the registry for life?

I'll like to know how they conducted this study. An average of 117 youngsters is a whopping big number and would be somewhat difficult for one to get away with it. But child molesters are highly skilled at manipulating a child into being submissive to one's orders.

Oh they do get caught in between. Alot of them that get sentenced is usually months to a few years. They get out, move away and start over at molesting before they get caught again.
Rinse and repeat.

Unless you read the sources for yourself, I would not be citing them over a public forum. Every paper out there has a bias, and I can already see a few. Especially in regard to female rapists, considering we have a social stigma against males perceiving female sexual advances in such manner.
So, go and sit down and read through them.
Anyone can come up with a list of sources to support their skewed view, but very few people actually read the material.

What is the "typical" offender? Serial or rapists/molesters in general? The reason why I'm asking a question is because I recall reading that a rapist who is convicted of a sexual offense is more than likely to be a serial criminal rather than a serial rapist afterward.

I think the point of this thread is that we need to be vigilant and not let our guard go down just because we live in a "nice neighborhood" or "we are miles from anyone else". As mentioned, most offenders are a person the child knows such as a coach, a family member in some cases, as well as a neighbor that allows all the neighborhood kids to come over. Sometimes it could even be a minister.
You just have to watch for signs of changed behavior in your child. Don't think just because your child is a teen means they can take care of themselves. A teen may feel too ashamed or embarrassed about the incident to tell anyone about it and so they live with it for months, maybe even years, before they break down from the emotional stress.
