Can I do something about this?? When our kids are with their mom and a registered sex offender lives about 100 yds away AND it is the BROTHER of the man she's sharing a house with. It seems I, as the father, should have some input here.

I hope you don't listen to "meonhere". Of couse they are likely to reoffend, that is why they have to register and are watched so closely. If he is the brother of your ex's boyfriend, then you have to set some ground rules and it should not be difficult to get legal backing. The sad thing is, if you let them go over there knowing this information, and something happens, you could also be held accountable. Get some legal advice, but don't let them go over there if there is any chance that the brother will be there, but you can't guaranty that, so my advice would be, be a MAN and PROCTECT your children. You might not know what other danger is out there, but you KNOW about this and you are not judgmental at all for wanting to take care of your children. There needs to be more men like you!

Without knowing any of the details, there is no way to make an informed decision. The main question I have is whether he abused his own children. If that is the case, then there is no way he should have any contact with them until the children are old enough to protect themselves and make up their own minds in a mature manner. If not, then what exactly did he do? As someone mentioned, some registered offenders really should not be on the registry. A prime example is a 19 year-old who had "consensual" sex with his 16 year-old girlfriend, got charged with statutory rape, and becomes a registered sex offender. This was not what the registry was meant to do. I know this has happened, because I work closely with Protective Services and the District Attorney in my county. So, assuming that his crime was a legitimate abuse crime, but he did not abuse his own children. Then, I would say, depending on the circumstances, he could possibly be allowed supervised visits with his children, with the supervision provided by a person or agency that all parties agree upon. No overnight visits. I also want to hear what the children want. Do they miss their father? Do they want to see him? Does he have a relationship or bond with them? All of these factors should come into play.

Yes you sure can do something about this. Get a lawyer and go to court over this and prove how close the live to this sex offender and that the new uncle is a child sex offender. Turn him in and say that you do not want your child with them if he comes around at any time near the kids. I am sure a lawyer and court can help you with this. You need to protect your kids.

What are you worried about them for when your kid goes to school with drug dealers and other criminals. If you would look beyond what the media tells you, you would find out that registered sex offenders actually are less likely to offend again then any other type of criminal. It is just that you hear more about them since the media is playing such a big part of this. If you are scared, you need to go talk to them and find out his story. I bet you are a religous judgemental person who thinks nothing that you do is wrong. Get off your high horse and find out what the story is. It will make you feel better and probably him to.

you can stop sending them over there
if she has a problem tell her you are not sending them over there because of the sex offender and she can't stop you
it is in the safety of the children plain and simple
get another court date with a judge and when you go tell him what is going on he wont allow the kids over there either
for now have her come to your place or go out to dinner or mall so she can see them
or you can say if they go over to your house i am coming to
she cant stop that either

Please check with your local police dept./or your attorney on this matter. Yes, as the father, you definitely have the right to have some input on this matter. Especially with the fact that this guy's brother lives with the mother of your children. Please do this asap. Take care.

u certainly have an obligation to your kids to not allow them to go there anymore, but call your attorney about it. just refuse to let them go there get children's services involved if u have to, as it is always best to be safe than be sorry later on.
