Studies show that where someone lives, nor them visiting parks, has anything to do with if or when they commit another crime. It's just nothing but a moral panic, and sex offenders are the modern day scapegoat.

If you are a parent, and go to a park, watch your kid!!!

Not all sex offenders have harmed kids, but everyone seems to believe sex offender, predator, pedophile and child molester are all one and the same, and they are not.

But, who wants to listen to facts or reason?

This is just a placebo to make you "feel safe!" Nothing more.

Do you really think a true pedophile or predator is going to stop because of an ordinance? If they want to harm a child, they will do so, period!

Oh big brother, please save me, I cannot protect myself!!!
