Default Should a day care construction be allowed to force out sex offenders?

This is an interesting situation in Florida. The school bus route in that area has a bus stop outside of a mobile home that houses more than 90 registered sex offenders. This is a specialized mobile home that has police monitoring because they house more than 90 sex offenders.

The parents were infuriated after they were unable to move the school bus stop so they have teamed up and acquired a license to build a day care right around the mobile home park. The plan is that since the sex offenders cannot be within certain proximity of children, that the day care construction there would force out the 90+ sex offenders away from the area.

Certainly the parents have a right to be concerned, but do you think the actions they're taking to force out the sex offenders in this manner is the right thing? I don't even know if it's a legal thing or what legal obstacles they'll face in using this tactic. Certainly, these people have done their time, and although they're dangerous, do deserve some kind of areas to live, do they not?

Do you think the actions of the parents are justifiable not just in their own right, but also in their actions to specifically oust these people?

Why can't the parents set up a chaperon system where every day one or more of them are there to see the kids on and off the bus?

While I am fully in support of these parents doing what is necessary to protect their children, if they're trying to use legal technicalities, I don't think it will work. The defense would likely argue that it is a case of the children coming within a certain (potentially dangerous) proximity of the former offenders rather than the offenders approaching the children.

Without derailing, I'm curious as to why they couldn't get the stop moved in the first place. On the surface, that would seem like a no-brainer.

I think the city is retarded for having a school bus drop off and pick up children within close proximity of 90+ sex offenders.Even though I distinquish "sex offenders" and "child rapist".Im assuming some of them have a "sexual attraction" to children.

The parents should in this case make arrangements to have a "buddy system" to meet the kids at the bus and get them on the bus safely then off the bus and home and then lobby the school district to move the pick up and drop off point.

This will come as a "surprise" from me in light of recent discussions Im sure but the "residents" of the "pre-approved" living area should not be forced to relocate ..IMHO.

Love

Dallas

I understand the parents concern, and it is nice to see parents taking an active role in protecting their children, but no, this is not justifiable. Their actions are clearly unethical. This is really ridiculous. Especially when you know that something as trivial as urinating behind a tree on 'public land' is enough to for ever be labeled a sex offender. Some sex offenders have not actually done any sexually offensive activities, and many sex offenders didn't perpitrate their crime with children. I don't see why the bus stop couldn't have been moved, I mean, how hard could that possibly be?

Am I the only ******* who is thinking that giving 90 child sex offenders with intimate knowledge of the area , a reason to hate you and then letting them know where your kids will be, is an idea from the bad tree.

Nooo. . . that would cost less and be sensible. And it wouldn't allow them their God-Given Right to discriminate.

It didnt say 90+ CHILD sex offenders.It said "sex offenders"..firstly..

Secondly anyone who rapes people already harbors hatred towards others and sexual violence is the outlet so you might want to say "make them hate them MORE"/
