I believe you have answered your own question..

I need to ask you..... Do you have children? How would you react if you found out that a crossing guard for your child's elementry school is a covicted sex offender? How would you feel if you later learned that he was convicted of Aggravated Sexual Assault against 2 male children under the age of 13? Now let's just say you have 2 very young boys yourself and this offender lives 1 1/2 blocks from your home. Still don't think you would want to know about his presence, even if the crime and conviction was let's say 17 years ago? Would you be confortable sending your young children off to school everyday know that this man is rated as a Tier 2 (moderate chance of re-offending)?
This is a situation that has surfaced in my town just today all due to the NJSP registry of sexual offenders, and I am so glad to be aware of his background. He is a very friendly man and spends time chatting everyday before and after school with the children and their parents. No one would ever think that he could be so sick as to commit this kind of crime. He seemed trustworthy enough. Now we have come to learn that he has lied about his name, not once, but twice to children, parents, and teachers of the school. He befriends everyone he comes in contact with and even has brought his dog to school for the children to play with.
Do you really think he should be given "a chance" to hide his background and true identity from the community? If so, WHY? Should it be okay for him to be working so close to such young children? Or should we just wait to see if he ever commits this same kind of crime again on another child? Should it be a wait and see situation? I love my children to accept that kind of answer. I am glad that the registry is public knowlege and hope that all people in all communities take advatage and get to know who is living in there area, no matter how long ago the crime was commited. It could save a life or two.
The people who commit these terrible crimes are very sick individuals and should never be allowed to work or volunteer around children. They may never re-offend but as you said "we cannot be sure of anyone".
