I think its funny they're worried they might be vandalized. I thought stuff like that didn't happen.
It's not a question of whether it happens; it's a question of whether it's prevelant. There will always be people out there that harrass and attack those who they don't like, including those who've committed sex crimes. Even before there were public registries, there were people who found out about sex offenders and harrassed and attacked them. Have a higher percentage of them faced this since the public registries became accessible? I don't know. And if the prevelance has increased, how much of it is due to the public registries and how much is due to increased media focus on sex crimes and sex offenders? And how much can be simply attributed to the increased ease of distributing information in the Internet age?
As for this family I'd suggest they sue the state for emotional distress.
Would that work? If I were them, I'd go to the media (seems they did that), get a lawyer to file some sort of injunction to remove my address and print up a huge sign on a tall stake in my yard that said no sex offender lives here, the government has the old address for an offender posted and won't fix it and include contact information so others can make themselves heard.
