I just did a search of the sexual offenders in my area. There are 7 within a mile of my sons elementary school which is only a mile from our house. There is also one living across the street from his father's apt which is halfway between here and the school. The apts across the street are managed by the same realtor and we were told you could not have felony charged in order to get your application approved.
My point is why are they allowing a sex offender to live there. I can't believe there are that many around us. The worst part is I would always see this wierd looking guy hanging around the school when I would drive by. I always paid attention to what he looked like "just in case"...well, guess whose picture I see on the offenders list. He lives within a quick walk of the school... Why cant they pass a law about people living near schools? Why is this something that even has to be passed? Sickos.

By saying North car do you mean North Carolina? Then yes. I dont know what else you could have thought that meant unless you do not live in the US.

I am really freaked out about the guy I have seen sitting in front of the school. He shouldnt be there period. The next time I see him maybe I should stop and tell him that I have seen his picture on the site and that he needs to stay away from the school or I will post his picture up all around the neighborhood and give it to all his neighbors. This may scare him enough to just stay away. Then again he is a sick pervert who probably gets off just being near kids...

I just called the police and asked them if there was a law about him being on school property and they said no. So there is basically nothing they will do. I will do it myself then so that he never goes near that school again. I am emailing my sons teacher with this picture as well so they can look out for him when they have the kids on the playground.

I was discussing this with my mom last night and today I'm going to talk to my dad about it as well. Also, when I begin shadowing a prosecutor for my Senior project, I plan on asking him what he thinks about the whole trial. If I were 18, I would sign that in a heartbeat. If it is still open and there hasn't been any progression by my birthday this year, then I will add my name to the list. I honestly can't believe that there isn't a law already that makes the failure to report the disappearance a felony. It's one of my main reasons for being so utterly shocked by the "not guilty" verdict of child negligence. If not reporting the child missing after even three or four days is not negligent, then I don't know what is. My mom and I were actually getting into a pretty heated argument because she said that technically it's not the same as not feeding the child or something like that and I just had to counter with "How is that *not* negligent of the parent? The parent doesn't know where her child is or what is going on. Not reporting it is not right." Anyway, I'm still sort of shocked by everything, but I really hope that this law would be the one good thing to come out of everything that has happened. PS: Have you seen the interview with "Juror #3" that ABC did? I was watching it and then I heard some responses from other sources of media and many people said that they now can understand a little bit about what was going on inside the minds of the jurors. But while I was listening to the interview, the interviewer asked the woman if they really took the time to go over all the evidence and everything and she said that they began to, but then realized that they didn't have enough (the phrasing might be off on that, but she definitely said that they started to look through it, but to me it seems like they didn't look through everything enough or at all). Edit: I just found out today while shadowing the town prosecutor of a nearby area that the Arizona state legislature is currently drafting up a version of this law and is asking a bunch of prosecutors their opinions. I read the write up of it and there are some things that need to be changed, but if they are, it will be very strong with a lot of backing in my legislature.

I am from NC as well and if you will notice, there are a lot of sex offenders. Have you ever asked yourself why there are so many here in NC? I can tell you why. Our state loves to put people behind bars, guilty and innocent. A sex crime is something that you can't prove DIDN'T happen so, they put the innocent in with the guilty. If you are really concerned about this just be very aware of your child's surroundings and keep a close guard on them at all times. You should do that anyway though because, sex offenders or no sex offenders, this world is a dangerous place.

I would say "yes" but i would wonder if I am answering in response to the trial or the actual idea. opposite side of this- "Jane a 16 year old runs away from home- does it all the time (why? who knows, to see her boyfriend) and now the parents have called the police and told them she has been missing for 2 days.... 6 months later- she is till running away and disappearing for a few days. At what point are the parents held responsible for children that don't listen or follow simple instructions. So- then the parents are arrested and then jane has the BF come to her house and there are no parents there and Jan's little brother and sister don't have parents cause they are locked up. So in short- after the trial- I think we are all a little subject to the affects of the trial and want to see justice. I wonder if this trial had not happened and this was brought up- would I be in support. I think I need to look into it more and look at the broad scope and see what affect this will have across the field. It sorta seems like another way for the legal system/government to get involved in parenting and family matters. Don't get me wrong- I think Casey Anthony killed her daughter and to be out at a club when your daughter is "missing" is complete BS! I need to see more legal information on this one. Sorry

Well fortunately in most states they did pass a law where this "xx xx" can not live within 1000 ft from schools. And know they are trying to make the distance even greater. (without violating one's civil rights)
Further more: If you observe a prowler near a school, do me a favor and call the POLICE give them a good description and document what he was doing, where, when, who, how.
Thx for your concern.
