Here's your sign....

Neighbors weren't crazy about the idea of a sex offender living next door. And, they didn't like the idea that he lived so close to a daycare center and school either.
But some parents said knowing a convicted sex offender lives nearby is scary.
"It's very upsetting that someone lives that close to you and even across the school. You never know," Dunn said.

On Tuesday morning, parents passed out pamphlets at a nearby school warning people about Sloan and claiming that laws prevent them from protecting their children.


So, what are a bunch of upset parents to do when the law says that their children aren't worth protecting? They give him his sign.

A group of Coopertown parents placed a large sign in front of the home a registered sex offender.

They want to warn people that 57-year-old Charles Sloan lives near a school and a daycare center.

Of course, there is always one person who thinks that just be cause legally his dept is paid, society should just forget what he did... cause pointing out his sexual assaults is just "tacky".

"I think the sign's very tacky," said Carolyn Ellis, a neighbor. "If it were me, if it were up in this yard, I would have it down in a heartbeat."

She said Sloan paid his debt to society and it's not fair to his mother who owns the house.


Perhaps next the neighbors should get to together, pitch in and get her her own special sign. I've already got one picked out that seems more than fitting for Ms. Ellis--------->

Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...
