Sex offenders on Halloween

I was caught a news story on sex offenders and what parents can do about keeping their children away from them this Halloween. They said that (at least here in TX) that registered sex offenders are not allowed to have yard decoration (for some reason a big deal) if they are still on probation, but can otherwise. Registered sex offenders are required to check into the police station between 6-9 that night and cannot have outside lights on at their house. There is also a list of sex offenders that you can find.
I wish I could give you the direct link but for some reason my comp. won't pull up the site. You can do a search on it and I know that the newstation said there was a way to get to it from their site WFAA.com. You can also look up the specific story they had over the issue (started with a teaser about a sex offender having yard decoration). Anyway thought it was important and that I would point it out to all of you cellarrents, although I'm sure most of you already know about it. All my info is TX related but you unlucky non-Texans probably have your own sources of info on this stuff.

Parents don't go with kids anymore? Either a parent was with me or we were in a gang big enough to beat said sex offender to death.

Is "sex offender" a title or designation that one can ever live down or outlive?

I can't help but wonder at what point the measures taken to protect against known sex offenders become unconstitutional; or, at least, what it must be like to go through so many hoops just to live (Big Lebowski-style door to door introductions; Halloween lockdown, et cetera). I can't imagine it's a lifestyle that helps your mental state.

It seems that we've the general outline of a subjugated minority class that nobody can argue in support of without being called a kiddie-lover-lover.

In NY, registered sex offenders are prohibited from answering the door on Halloween.

If they entered this "class" by handling a little kid, I have no problem placing limitations on them. Maybe they should clear the prisons of drug offender and just give the child abusers the necessary terms. If they got listed for having sex with a young teen when they were a young teen that is a problem.

Since I don't know which sex offenders are lethal and which ones are simply youthful indiscretions, I keep my children away from them all. I also search the local database regularly for any who may have moved in near us.

My kids just don't go out trick or treating unattended, no matter what age they are. As they get older and less willing to be accompanied by mom, I follow them in the car as the meander down the streets.

They then have to sort through all of their candy with me, weeding out anything suspicious-looking (ie: loose wrapper) before they're allowed to eat any.

I'm so mean

That mean-ness can mean the difference between happy and healthy kids and abducted/abused kids. Sounds like you're doing a great job.

Has there ever been any tangible evidence to indicate that Halloween is an especially dangerous time?

You'd think so.. I mean, it's Halloween, kids are outside sometimes by themselves at night.

You would "think so" ...but, has there been? I think we spend alot of time dealing with chimeras.

I think flea and tick collars should help.

I think the story and all was mainly to reassure parents that their children won't be getting candy from sex offenders, atleast known ones. Sex offenders, unlike chimeras, are a widespread and immediate danger.

An aquaintance of mine is still at PASCI-Houtzdale for multiple counts of kiddle porn and child molestation. Halloween used to be a big time of year for him ... had a lot of intricate displays, haunted house stuff going on, and a photo slide show on a computer of prior year's costumes, which served as an excellent distraction keeping the parents on the front porch while the kids checked out the House of Horrors.

Why don't we start branding them?

If the American Civil Liberties for Man-Boy Love Union absolutely can't bear the thought of allowing us to execute them, or incarcerate them for life, how about taking a red-hot iron and searing the words "child raper" into their foreheads instead?

We have to put warning labels on everything else these days... why not put them pedophiles, too?

Funny you should mention that.

Not too long ago a sex offender who raped and murdered a little girl by the name of Katie (or something similiar) was sent to prison. The other inamtes forcibly tattoed "Katie's Revenge" across his forehead. Two of the guards there were fired for leaking the image to the media.
