It depends on the nature of his offense. My main concern is a crime against ********. It seems ****** to rehabilitate pedophiles. So in that case I would approach him or her in a friendly, respectable manner and let him know that I am aware of his past, but willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I would let him know that I am glad to be his neighbor, and also equally willing to regulate if things don't go right.

I would call the police because I live in a school zone and it is illegal for a registered *** offender to be that close to a school.

And then I would speak to my boys about being very careful.

If you don't already, start a "Neighborhood Watch". This is done for many reasons. We all look out for each other. But a good way to keep this person in your view. I would let them know that there was a watch in the neighborhood too. Get all the info on this person you can. People do change. (Not all) But be careful, not the neighborhood lynch mob either.

it depends on what they were convicted of, and exactly what happened. cuz mayb 40% or more of those carrying the label " *** offender" simply had an underage( like 16 or 17) girlfriend, or got caught ******* in public. I'd be more likely to talk to them and find out their story first before making any judgements

I'd still want to talk to him first. I have little faith in the court system, and much more faith in my ability to judge what kind of a person someone is. But you are entitled to your opinion too

Well he is a damaged and dangerous individual!

Still, I would still go through the motions, and let him know I am watching him, and I mean nothing personally against him personally, but the recidivism rate of ********** doesn't speak favorably on his behalf. I'd encourage him to continues in therapy, because the community at large has a vested interest in his success, but in the event that he is unsuccessful, we are going to work to keep our part of the world as safe as possible. I'd finish with a friendly "I am glad you understand."

I would then make flyers and post them with public information about his crimes as well as a photo. I'd make it very uncomfortable for him to prey in this neighborhood. I'd even go as far as speaking at Scouting events and other ********'s gatherings. So if by some awful chance he victimized anyone, I'd know I've done everything I COULD do to keep kids safe.

Sure some parents would stupidly say "You're scaring our kids, they're confused" but an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. And don't they think their ******** would be "scared, or confused" if *** forbid they were victimized by this person.

Do your part, don't help him keep his secrets. Righteousness is on your side.

Introduce myself. Show them my shiny rifle. Laugh about how a neighbor previously accidentally got run over, repeatedly. Coincidentally, he was on the list too. ( Real story. )

Become hysterical and do something stupid? How should I know? I don't know my neighbors anyway and if I had kids, they'd be grown and gone by now.

Make them known to everyone in the neighborhood. You have the right to present every house with a pamphlet of the person's address and list of convicted crimes.

I test him, but will always be on my guard, I try to see if the person has changed his/her behaviour. By giving this person a chance to have a friend, one who does not judge what he/she did. If I predict that he will commit the same offense again then it's a whole different story...

Get as much information as I can about the person, his particular offense, etc., and ***** how much danger my family is in. If it's someone who I don't think poses a threat, I won't worry about it. If it's a violent offender or a pedophile, I would educate my daughter and alert all of the neighbors so that we could be hypervigilant. If it was a violent offender I would probably install a security system too.

Seeing how I live in a neighborhood where every other house has kids. I would be going straight to the police station. To let them know that most of the block has kids. And if that dont work I would be getting with parents and make sure someone is sitting in front of his house at all times. Maybe see if the person that lives behind and beside him would let us use their yards too. Just to make sure he stays out of trouble.

I would find out are much as could about their crime. If they were busted for public urination, I would be that worried. If the conviction was violent ****** *******, then we have a problem.

Depends... I think I'd like to know what the offense is. These days just urinating in public can be enough to register someone as a *** offender. When I was courtesy officer in an apartment complex some tenants complained that a *** offender moved in. It was true. Guy just got out of prison and moved in with a woman 5 years younger then him... the same woman who was a 14 year old girl when he was 19 and her mom walked in on them. He did 5 years for that, got out, and married his 'victim'...the woman he moved in with. While it isn't a smart thing for a 19 year old to have *** with a 14 year old... he had no other crimes and stayed in love the whole time he was locked up... he also moved in with his 4 year old son....

You can't jump on a bandwagon without complete knowledge.

I'd leave them alone. I know a guy who is registered as a *** offender because he was 18 and his girlfriend at that time was 16. Her Parents turned him in.

I would do my best to notify everyone in that neighborhood about this person. Following that I would make sure my family was very wary of them. Trusting them would not be an option.

I actually know that within 5 miles of my home there are 30. But I also paid attention to what their predilections where, and how violent they are. I am not going to lock my kids in the house, but I am not going to let them roam free without knowing who is out their.

We have a *** offender living in our neighborhood. He molested a 13 year old girl when he was 30, and he served 7 years in prison. What do you do? Understand that his family took him in because he is still their son/brother/whatever, and react with intelligence and diligence, and within the bounds of the law.

Everyone in our neighborhood is aware that this man is here. We have all seen him (or at the very least, seen his photo). We all know what he has done, and ****** that he is capable of doing it again. We watch the ********, we watch the playground, and we watch his house. We educate our ******** about the dangers that are out there. We cooperate.

In a happy outcome to a bad situation, our neighborhood has grown closer and become a nicer place since this happened. I know the names of all the ******** in the neighborhood now, I know which family they belong to, and I know whether or not they're supposed to be outside unsupervised. There are much more open lines of communication between neighbors now about all kinds of topics.

I'd call the police. They're aren't too many kids in my neighborhood but those that are are pretty little. I'd also make sure my sister never went anywhere alone and I'd keep my phone on me at all times.

It would be according to the nature of the offense. I'd watch them like a hawk. They don't rehabilitate. They have to be controlled.
