Comments
Residency laws already in effect have added no additional level of safety to our children. In fact, they have proven to do the opposite in that they provide a false sense of security for parents. As has been proven in Georgia and other states, not only are these laws unconstitutional, the cost and time to enforce such laws add an extra burden on local and state budgets as well as law enforcement time commitment. Proximity laws do not reduce sex crimes or protect our children. Most sex crimes are committed by new offenders, not those known to have committed prior sex crimes. Please stop this witch hunt and instead focus efforts and resources on educational needs and family counseling.
