Sex offenders on Halloween

Skunks · 10-27-2006, 01:54 AM

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.
