Protect children from the real predators

Imagining a sex offender living close by to young children is scary. In fact it’s fatal which is why Georgia among other states passed a law which said, “registered sex offenders are banned from living 1,000 feet of schools, churches and other areas where children congregate.” I think this law is a necessity in cases where serious crimes have been committed.
A growing number of officials however want to ease the “not in my backyard” policies that communities are using to try to control sex offenders. Several states including Georgia are considering making changes to sex offender’s residency laws. Oklahoma State Rep. Lucky Lamans says loosening laws will help authorities monitor sex offenders more effectively, as right now offenders are forced to live in rural areas where it’s not easy for them to be monitored.
“We need to focus on people we’re afraid, of not mad at,” he Lamans says. Current laws don’t differentiate between the real predators and the type arrested for urinating in public.
It is a change in the law I feel is necessary which differentiates the seriousness of the crime; real predators need to be properly monitored.
Janet Allison mother of five in Georgia says she has been forced to move into a mobile home “way off a dirt road” because she allowed the 17 year old boyfriend of her 15 year old daughter to move in with them. This is where the system needs to be amended the law needs to focus on protecting the livelihood of children from the real predators.
