Yeah, I don’t want to burn any torches and go looking for trouble but I think your approach is wise – know who to avoid, make sure your kids do, too – and understand that we don’t know how to fix what is wrong with these people yet.

I’ve seen those pins on the mapping app. As a parent living in Oakhurst, I look at the photos of those guys every other week or so, to commit their faces to memory. I am not usually the type to light a torch and storm the castle, but having worked with an urban DA’s office on many child abuse cases, I am well aware of recidivism rates and of the lengths that some predators will go to get what they want.

If the person lived there before the law went into effect and hasn’t moved, they can stay where they are. If they move, they have to follow the rules. If something like a new school is built, they can’t be forced to move if they were legal before.

It’s something like sexual offenders or predators cannot live or work within a 1,000 feet of anywhere that children congregate which would include a school. I don’t know what happens when a new school like FAVE opens. Does anyone routinely check the sex offender registry to see if there’s an issue?
