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--------->

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...

Mom Arrested After Baby Found Mauled By Dogs

This is a story that I really don't want to share, it angers me all the while breaking my heart at how someone could be so cold and callous. My only comment is that there is always a better way. Some may of thought of going to the hospital, others may have thought about calling someone- anyone for help. But the complete disregard this person showed is horrifing. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy. The mother told investigators that the baby was still-born at home. She said she panicked and disposed of the baby boy a few miles from her home, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. The investigation began after authorities received a 911 call from a frantic mother. Dispatcher: "911, what's your emergency?" Caller: "My kids were just outside, telling me that the dog was ch...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...
