Once again, misleading information (disinformation). This law affects all sex offenders and not all sex offenders are violent, like the article makes you assume.

MIDLAND (KDKA) - The small borough of Midland joined a growing list of Beaver County communities with sex offender residency laws.

The Midland ordinance, approved on a 6-0 vote, prohibits registered violent sex offenders from living within 500 feet of schools, churches, playgrounds, and other places where children are likely to congregate.

Other Beaver County communities within similar laws include Rochester, Pulaski and Harmony Townships, Baden and Ambridge.

Several residents in Midland told KDKA-TV said they were supportive of the residency law.

Violators of the ordinance face a fine of up to $1,000 and up to 90 days in jail.
