Should I be worried??

Original post by jennandrolo

My school College of Staten Island sent out a mass email the other day that I really didnt fully read, what I got out of it was that they'll be sending something in the mail whenever a registered offender moves into the neighborhood.

But I must have been real tired when I read it because it turns out they were actually letting us know that a Risk Level 3 offender will be attending the college this fall.

I got this description from a site..
Risk Level 3 offenders pose a potential high risk to the community and are a threat to re-offend if provided the opportunity. Most have prior sex crime convictions as well as other criminal convictions. Their lifestyles and choices place them in this classification. Some have predatory characteristics and may seek out victims. Generally they have refused or failed to complete approved treatment programs. They usually have one or more victims. They may not know their victim(s). The crime may show a manifest cruelty to the victim(s) and these offenders usually deny or minimize the crime. These offenders commonly have clear indications of a personality disorder.

Now my school campus has a daycare and a highschool on site. What is the school board thinking?? I know theres sex offenders everywhere but this is just bothering me to no end.

I am not really sure what can be done about it

Any peek at a sex offender website shows THOUSANDS - there is no neighborhood you can move to that does not have a registered sex offender in it

Also, I know they are not supposed to live near schools and playgrounds but I can walk to THREE schools and TWO playgrounds ( off the top of my head ).

So really - where are they supposed to live? What are they supposed to do? I agree that I want them NOWHERE near ME or my family. But once they have served their time - there is really nothing that can be done to stop them from reentering society.

What also bothers me is a recent story i read about a young boy that has to register as a sex offender for slapping a girl's behind. . . he will be labelled for the rest of his life because of some stupid thing that so many guys have done.



I read about that, that was just silly
