Reply #14: I was molested more than 2000 feet away from a school or park

in my home, too

I don't know if you're talking about this town, but there is one near me that banned pedophiles from 99.5% of town because of all of the parks and schools.

There was an interesting editorial in yesterday's paper:

Phillipsburg's new anti-pedophile ordinance is a great law, except for two things. It probably won't make kids living in Phillipsburg any safer, and it might place kids living outside Phillipsburg in greater danger.

...

As a practical matter, if selected towns ban sex offenders, they're relegating them to other towns -- in this case, to Easton, to Washington, to the suburbs. What's worse, instead of living with a relative or in a halfway house, many offenders barred from their hometowns will go underground, making them reportable to no one, and that's the greatest danger of all.
