Trick or Treat. Haunted Houses. Candy and spooky outfits. It's what New Year's is for adults- neatly wrapped into a kids feast.
NJ is on track with issuing a curfew for their sex offenders- preventing them form being out, or opening doors to what could easily be their next victims. I take my kids. I can't imagine a parent letting any kid out alone in this day and age. But evidently it's not just the handing out candy part that sex offenders want to share in. Evidently they, or at least one sicko likes the haunted house part too.
Imagine, dark and scary. Monsters jumping out. A faint glow from a possessed pumpkin head. Blood dripping from the vampires fangs. A mummy slowly creeping up from behind. Cobwebs and spiders swaying close to your hair. The smell of a bonfire mixed with the musty smell of old decorations. Screams and shrieks of horror as the young ones make their way down the haunted corridor. Hazy reflections of something behind you in a broken mirror. Oh, and your local sex offender.
This is wrong on so many levels- I don't even know where to begin. No matter what you are going to have that slacker parent who thinks dropping off the 13 year old to watch the younger half dozen kids is just good enough. But I won't even get into that. Let's see. A sex offender. Just what is wrong with his wife? It's like giving a drug addict a job in a pharmacy. Irresponsible and just completely stupid. Something tells me this woman would be the first to blame the child when he reoffends- after all they made it known to neighbors that he was a sicko- what where those kids doing running around in mid July in their bathing suits? It's that kind of thinking that I imagine this moron having.
Moral of the story- you don't let sex offenders around children. It's that simple. And if you think it is okay- then you should be locked up. Okay, that last part isn't really a moral, just my own personal thoughts on it. BUT IT SHOULD BE A MORAL!
