Kid Gleason Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I am looking for a bit of advice. I trust the people in this board to actually give intelligent responses. We found out we have a man convicted of aggravated sexual assualt against a girl between the age of 9-12 living in our neighborhood. He just moved in very recently, and we found out due to my wife and a few others constantly checking online for this type of info. He was in jail in Texas for 10 years, and is compliant with authorities. He is living in a townhouse with a girlfriend and her kids. My wife and a few others are printing up flyers and placing them on mailboxes in the neighborhood so other parents will know we have him in the area. Is this O.K. legally to do, and what else might you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibbieRubarb Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 They should know, but try not to start a "Mob mentality". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt35 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I'm sorry to hear about that. What I'd do is pretty much what you're doing: Educating the others in the neighborhood. Keep an eye on him and tell your kids to stay the hell away from him. What I wouldn't do is harass him. He may be a sicko, but he's done his time.

Steff Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 After learning literally just 20 minutes ago that one of my girlfriends uncles has been indicted for molestation... I say post away.. put them everywhere and anywhere. From what I have read over and over again these types of individuals DO NOT change.. they continue to abuse children until they get caught.. and in my girlfriends case it took 20+ years for that asshole to get caught. I'm sorry.. I'm sure I sound like a total b****.. but after this experience.. and that asshold Couhey in Florida and the countless other children I have read about being abused by REPEAT offenders.. I say lock them up and NEVER let them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you feel that way if it was your child molested...??? I'm not trying to start an argument here.. but I thought that way prior to knowing someone who has been abused. I've read so many articles that show time and time and time again that these sicko's are NEVER cured of their "desire" for children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been faced with people on both sides of the fence... I'll glady be called every name in the book to keep a child safe. For all the little children like Jessica Lunsford who was raped and murdered by a REPEAT OFFENDER who had "done his time".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the reality is that, like it or not, this guy does have Constitutional rights now that he's out of prison. I'm not saying that it's right or wrong... but it's the law. As much as he may deserve it, forming a lynch mob and chasing him out of town isn't the solution. This is a particularly unfortunate scenario because, as you mentioned before, sexual predators most often DO NOT change their ways. I wish that we had a legal solution.

Steff Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Kid.. is that mofo registered...?? If he is.. I would suggest posting the website with maybe the phrase "Do you know all you need to about your neighbors...?" That way you're not attacking him directly.. but you are getting the message out LOUD AND CLEAR that you know who he is and what he has done. I gotta be honest.. I hope he is forced to move from your neighborhood. They should move all those jerkoffs to their own little island in the middle of the ocean.

Rex Kickass Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 The thing that worries me is that "mob mentality." By all means, let your neighbors know - but leave the guy alone. He does have the same rights as you and I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I agree with what was said before. Post the info, check to make sure he's registered, keep your eyes and ears open, but let him live his life as freely as possible ( while still keeping your eyes and ears open ). Good luck, man, that's a difficult situation, to understate it immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 He is living in a townhouse with a girlfriend and her kids. I hope the neighborhood keeps an eye out for the safety of these kids, as well. Apparently, the mother has other things on her mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
