Offender list

Once again today, there's a list of local sex offenders in the mail. While I do appreciate being warned, value the access to information through Megan's Law, I wonder why we are given so much information about offenders who move into the area, and no information about those who leave.

We must receive one of these notifications every two or three weeks. I am sure that of all the people we've been notified about in the past few months, some must have moved away again.

This should be about information, not fear.

I am trusting in the justice system that the only people on this list are people that are truly a possible danger to others--and not young men who have fallen foul of the age-of-consent with their girlfriends (it's 18 here, versus 16 or lower in European countries).
