Its sad that 15% said petition him to move and 8% say threaten him. Instead of realizing these people need to move on with thier lives and get back into society they would act like idiots and cause even more stress in the offenders life. I'm sure all those people have themselves committed no criminal acts either right?

it is pretty sad that people think like that , considering sex offenders have been amongst us for hundreds of years , the law did nothing to protect anyone all it did was create panic , im also wondering if there was anyway to determine what the offense rate was prior to the registry

I would befriend them, of course. Partly so that I could monitor their activities, but also because I believe isolation is a breeding ground for maladaptive behavior.

Ah an intelligent answer. You dont even have to befriend them but dont HATE them. These people are trying to get on with thier lives under very tight supervision. I dont see a problem with "not hating" them.

I like Marta's answer. Be a neighbor. You know, wave to them, talk about the weather, borrow a cup of sugar(or loan one). Doesn't mean you give them the keys to your front door, or tell them that if they need extra money then you'll be glad to let them babysit the kids. I mean, don't be stupid about it. But don't shut them out.

Even more sad is that many times the SOs ARE driven out. They cannot find housing and employment and become alienated from society. Many have become drifters which I believe is why thousands of them are missing in Arizona and Nevada and I am sure other states as well. Having the exact opposite effect of which these laws were seemingly intended for. I think the only ones complying are the ones who are trying desperately to turn their lives around and deserve a second chance at having some kind of a life.

Id like to ad that my bf of 4 1/2 years has to register as a sex offender, when he was 21 he had sex with a girl who was almost 16,I know it is against the law what he did, but should he be treated like a animal on the lose for the rest of his life because of that? This has been haunting not only him but me and its very upsetting and depressing we have a son together hes a wounderfull father and hes the farthest thing from violent..or a preditor. When the cop came to my door to let me know he was notifying our street i broke down and balled my eyes out, I didnt even want to walk outside, i felt everyone was staring at us, thinking hes some kind of child molester,, pervert,, its very hard to deal with, I dont belive he deserves to be on that list with the real sickos,, its not fair in my opinion. Its really nice to find this site, and maybe get some things off my mind.

I would treat them like any neighbor. Actually, such a person is less of a threat than the average, because everyone supposedly knows to be "careful" . Most sex offenders are never caught.
I don't think I would befriend them, though, because I don't believe in getting too close to any neighbor. But in the event of an emergency, I would be there for them like for any other neighbor.
Unless they did something hurtful or offensive. But that goes for anybody.

id also like to ad my anser to this queshtion,, since I live with one and know hes not a child molester, I NOW know that not all of them are a harm to children, which most people dont realise there not all child molesters, Id defenetly look into their past and find out what makes them register, and obviously I wouldnt become friends with them if they molested a child, I have a son myself, but I too dont get close to neighbors, its basically a wave and a hello when I see mine. I try to remember that no matter what if you push one out of your neighbor hood it doesnt make you any safer from them.....you cant belive that the only street hes a threat to is the one he lives on.

And what about the drug dealer that got your children hooked on crack? would you feel the same way? I am lost on why people want a rso out of a neighborhood and would harrass one when its just as easy for you to move yourself. For instance If I dont like jews or blacks and they moved next door I would move or live with it. Personally I couldnt live next door to anyone over 65. Its very scaring looking at wrinkled people to the point that it makes me vomit. In fact most look more horrific to me then sex offenders.Some even complain more the rso's do.

Sex Offender Next door to me

I just found out that we have a SO living next door to us. He is not required to register, I did a background check on him and found out he was originally charged with 10 counts of Sodomy 1 and plead to 1 count of Sex Abuse. He spend 2 years in Prison and when he got out moved in with his parents next door.
I contacted his Parole Officer yesterday and was told that he is actually looking for a different place to live since he can't have contact with minors and we live right across the street from an elementary school.
I have had only a few days to take all this in and I have been researching all the terminology like crazy. Of course my first instinct is to protect my 2 children who are under 8 years of age. On the other hand I'm trying to keep an open mind of the situation. It's really frightening when you hear stories in the news like the little girl in Florida who was taken out of her bedroom.
I have read the posts on this thread and I can understand and relate to the different reactions one may have. At first I wanted to march right next door and let him and his parents know that if they make one wrong move there will be hell to pay...but on the other hand, I look at this kid who is trying to get on with his life, he has kept to himself and probly gone out of his way to not be out when my children are.
So bottom line is, I'm glad I found out so I can just be that much more aware of my surrounding with my children. But on the other hand I wish I would of been informed when he first moved in (5months ago). All the what if's keep going thru my mind!

Yep, once again the blind belief that if my neighbor is not on the registry then he surly must be O.K., What a wingding thought. Hey people (personally to sadiesgramme2004 ) the person most likely to molest your child (or in your case your grand child) is already in your family. He isn't the guy down the street, no that is only for good headlines. It's daddy, mommy, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, and all the other terms of trust we use. He's already in your home and you welcome him/her with open arms.
Come on people, where would we be if each time some family member molested another family member it made the headlines! Imagine waking to find "Fathers Proven to be Threat to Children" on your front porch. All my cell mates (yep, I am one of the disgusting ones) were cops, ministers, teachers and others, but their victims weren't congregation members or women at the side of the road. No those cases are just the ones that make the headlines. Nope, their victims were their sons and daughters. Come on, this is basic child molesting 101, get your heads out of the sand and stop getting your sociological progress reports from the local headlines.

I am glad that you are trying to keep an open mind about the SO you just found out lives next door. At the same time, do you know what all your other neighbors have been convicted of? If not, I strongly suggest you shell out the money to do background checks on them for your own piece of mind. They could be just as much a danger to your children as this SO you found out about. The cost of the background checks is peanuts compared with the safety of your children. Correct? I suggest that you then distribute your findings to the neighborhood for everyones benefit.
Would you feel safe knowing a thief, drug dealer, gang member, or even someone with multiple DUI's on thier records live next door? They could all present a danger to your children too, and isn't important to know about them? Don't you wish that our government had identified them as a danger too?

This is such a relative, personal situation. At this moment in my life I would almost throw a party for him or her. Someone registerd for this crime is like a dream come true to me. They are out in the open and I'm pretty sure I could tolerate this set of circumstances just for that fact, yet ya never know til it hits home. It's the ones who haven't gotten disclosed that frighten me the most. From experience I know there's alot out there and I am very guarded.
I am only one person, but I tell you this seems to me like it has been an epidemic in my life. There is the sex registry and it seems conceivable that there could be an addtional misdemeanor registry list or something comparable - so many laws seem outdated for this particular crime to keep children safe.
Even statue of limitations on this are in great need of change from my experience. In a suit I tried to file with a therapist it was only 2 years, and I had been agoraphobic then, yet he was protected.

sadiesgramme2004, statistically you or a family member are more likely to sexually abuse your granddaughter then the registered sex offender next door.
Also, what do you know about your neighbors? Have you done a background check on them? Would you feel comfortable having a burglar, drug dealer, or gang member living next door? Or how about someone convicted of multiple DUI's? These people are driving 2-ton weapons when they are under the influence.

I want to applaud you for looking at this kid from a perspective of he is trying to do the right thing.Everyone makes mistakes and life and im sure you made a few yourself. The most important thing is you are aware of your neighbors background and know what to look for. At the same time you are mature enough to realize that people need to move on with their life , that says a whole lot about your character and its appreciated.This board is very educational in helping those understand the issues involved in dealing with an RSO rather then panic and hype. We are fortunate to have you here letting us know your thoughts and opinions and any suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciated. It is people like you who look at the big picture that make all children and adults safe in their community.I hope you continue to participate in this BBS.

Thank you people for giving me an insight on how my life will be in a few years. The SO will be moving back home! He will be living with me, my disabled mother who will be well into her 70's and my 16 year old daughter. "Do anything short of murder to get him out?" Well, I'll tell ya what---you better not kill my dog, posion my cat or put sugar in my gas tank....NOR should you vandalize my home by ripping up my garden, or harass me, or leave all the air out of my mothers oxygen tank. Becuz I will protect me and mine, and then YOU will become the criminal. Yes, I have nightmares about walking down the street hand in hand with my husband while mothers scream thru the streets quickly snatching up their children, but I will deal with it. If you want to know the details of my husbands crimes, then we will tell you over coffee. We will also tell you that he is in treatment and under strict supervision, and that he is deathly afraid of going back to prison and would never due anything again to jeoprdize his family. I will also tell you that I worked sometimes 60 to 70 hours a week to keep my home while my husband was in jail, and NOTHING you do will make us leave. The PA registry information says that it is for informatinal purposes only and any vigalanti behavior will be prosecuted. I will not hessitate to report your behavior. Yes, I fell in love with a sick and deviate indivdual. He is also the kindest, gentlest, most intelligent, and talented man I have ever know. Don't make me buy a gun. I don't like guns.....I am not the FELON and I could by one....BUT, I don't like guns.....

Don't ever lose that feeling. I'm probably old enough to be your father, but I still consider myself a kid. My own kids will tell you that "Daddy isn't going through his second childhood, he hasn't finished the first one yet."

I understand the point you were trying to make, but it's wrong the way you said it. The registered sex offender is more likely to sexually abuse the granddaughter, *but* since most sex crimes are committed by someone who isn't yet a registered sex offender *and* registered sex offenders only make up a tiny fraction of the population, if her granddaughter is sexually abused, the perpetrator is more likely to not be a registered sex offender than to be a registered sex offender. The same logic would hold for the likelihood of being murdered by a convicted murderer. Surrounding yourself with convicted murderers in an attempt to reduce your risk of being murdered would be illogical though. The same with convicted sex offenders.

Very well put RiverCyan. Most people don't think about the family of the offender when they spew their hatred. It is refreshing to see views like this on the board so that people can see the other side of things. The families of the offenders do have rights even though people don't think the offender has any rights. People seem to forget that when an offender has paid their debt to society (i.e. prison sentence), their rights are restored.

Wow - you sure are a forgiving bunch...
As far as I'm concerned, my kids welfare comes before the welfare of the sex offender next door..
I wouldn't want him living anywhere near me - and I sure wouldn't be calling around to make friends with the guy.
If he was forced out of my area because of community pressure - that's too bad for him.
I don't have any sympathy for their predicament.
Before anyone asks - I wouldn't want drug dealers living near me either. If there was a register for them, I would be supportive of that too.

I understand where you are coming from. As a parent, you think the world revolves around your children. Sadly, that is not the case. While you maybe repulsed by what someone who committed a sex offense did, they have to live somewhere. Most will not reoffend although there are a few bad apples out there. If you are really concerned about the welfare of your kids, then I strongly recommend doing a background check of ALL your neighbors. The money spent would be peanuts compared to your peace of mind and the safety of your children. You should do a background check of anyone that comes to your house for that matter.

First of all I just want to say that I will always do everything in my humanly power to protect my children. The only way to truly protect them is to be a proactive and responsible parent.
I have kept an open mind to the situation of my neighbor and after reviewing the case reports that I just got, it turns out that his case happened when he was in his early teens. He obviously made a huge immature mistake and it caught up with him in his twenties. He went to jail and is now on probation.
Now if I would of jumped to the worst conclusions and stirred up trouble for him and mostly his family (since he moved in next door with his parents), I don't honestly think I could back my actions after seeing what the circumstances of the case were.
This whole thing has opened my eyes a little bit wider than they already are to whats going on around me and my family.
So my suggestion to anyone who finds out that they might have a sex offender living next to them, Do your homework....do a background check, then order the court reports. There are for sure all kinds of circumstances and scenarios out there.
I'm glad I found this forum....it has proved to be informative from both sides!

4piper, I appreciate you doing that and sharing with the rest of us.

If it's not too much trouble, I think it would benefit other readers if you could post some information about the steps involved to order court reports in your area, including any relevant specific details and advice you have. If you could start a new thread in the General Forum about that, it would be appreciated. Questions related to the process come up every once in a while and it would be nice to have a discussion thread people asking about it can be pointed to.

How I have waited for a question like this to be posted.
I have mentioned in previous posts that I was a rape victim as a teenager and my husband was recently convicted of a contact sex offense against an adult (his first offense of ANY kind).
OK, so here is how it goes in my world. My husband was just released days ago, so far no problems. I would really like to know HOW all of the people who say they are going to "get the RSO out" are planning to accomplish this.
If you do anything illegal toward me or my husband, I will proudly get a restraining order and then forward copies of said order to your employer, family members, and anybody else necessary to show what a law-breaking lunatic you really are. If that doesn't stop you, then, I will be conducting a background check of my own. Hopefully, you won't have a single embarrasing thing in your past that I can stumble on, because if you do, I will be informing everyone who will listen.
Basically, I like to mind my own business. However, I am willing to take on a mob with my bare hands if my husband or myself are threatened or harassed. Frankly, there is nothing you can do to get an RSO out of your neighborhood, legally. However, I will use any LEGAL means necessary to fight back. That is a promise. I would certainly hope that all RSO's would do likewise if forced.
Those of you that rigteously want all RSO's out of your backyard make no sense to me. If you really think they are all a danger to children, then I guess you don't care if they move out of your neighborhood and molest other children. Just so long as they aren't hurting children in YOUR neighborhood, right?
Here is a nugget of fact about my own neighborhood. My next-door neighbor had all 3 of his children permanently removed from his home and had his parental rights terminated. This is because he seriously physically abused them. But he didn't sexually abuse them, so he isn't on any list. So you wouldn't know about him, would you? So while you were busy harrassing my husband, who has never been accused of doing anything to a child, this guy would probably be at your next barbecue with your kids. This makes no sense to me.
If someone wants to show pictures of RSO's to their kids and tell them to stay away from "that guy", it is fine with me. However, harassment is wrong.
The bottom line is, RSO's are already listed. Everybody already knows who you are. There is nothing to lose by fighting back legally. Please don't move because your neighbors don't like you. If anyone would like to harass me or my husband, I say: BRING IT ON!!!
