It put some of them in a bind for finding places they can live and it is not a full cure for the problem just a start.
To the others who do not think stopping a child molester will help. I was the youngest victim of a predator at the young age of five. If that person had been stopped in anyone of the ten plus many more before I was a victim, it is very possibly I would not have been a victim.
I agree with OD on this one, to think for one second a person just simply goes on in life after such an ordeal is shear ignorance. Many live just as I did for years unable to sleep from the terror and fear of what falling sleep could bring. Once asleep many also awake from unbelievable screams of terror and nightmares. Most of those I know that had been in that same place before I was have not gotten over it still.
hk, thank you for your thoughts also. Very considerate of you to share in detail so others can have some understanding. | Yes, we do, and it's very easy to look them up on the internet to see who lives near you, although it seems that most people either don't know they can do this, or just don't care.
I have looked up all the predators living in my community. I know who they are, where they live, and what they look like. This is not to say that I will interfere in their lives, but at least if they start focusing on my children, I know who they are.
