We found that out later. We didn't know that at the time. I found out during the investigation. The same man had a top secret government clearance, he worked at one of our national weapons labs and was a former big brother, and a tutor at a former school, and my next door neighbor. If we are talking about public disclosure, then I agree.
Parents have a right to know.
The recidivist rate for a convicted sex offender is higher than any other crime. Well, I believe giving parents the info on who these sexual predators are. Public disclosure and educating children is the biggest advantage we can give our children. We can teach our children to be safe, not fearful. The biggest asset a sex offender has is silence, the secret nature of the crime.
