He is listed on the Michigan offender list for Criminal Sexual Conduct (Victim Between 13-16). He was almost 21 at the time of initial registration, and is 27 now.

I live on one corner. He lives on the same side of the street, on the opposite corner. I live in a small, quiet neighborhood with a decent amount of kids. We have three girls (13, 11 and 5). The girls like to ride their bikes around the block or take walks.

Now I assume the majority of my neighbors do not know about this dude, so should I print up the offender page and walk around tonight and place it in my neighbor's mail boxes or doors? Or is that way way over the top?

This is just my opinion, but when it comes to protecting your daughters from the dangers of something like this, there's pretty much nothing that I would consider way over the top.

Things like new neighbors talking about him being on the list is something that the guy has to deal with being found either guilty or pleading guilty, no matter what the facts and circumstances of his particular case are. So, no, I don't think it's over the top.

Id walk over to his place and blow his head off.

My worst nightmare!!

Do what you gotta do, but I feel the other parents need to know who's living in their neighborhood.

He knows he's registered and this information is available online and is public knowledge. It's not like he can figure out who said anything.

I don't think registered sex offenders should be able to live in a neighborhood with children. Oh, that's right, they are rehabilitated? I sure wouldn't want to find out either way.

I've got two daughters myself so I can't even imagine what's going through your mind right now.

I'd mail everyone for four or five surrounding blocks. Just leave off the return address if you don't want him to know it's you.

My daughter is 10 so I agree with everyone else, NOTHING is too far when it comes to protecting her.
I'm not saying that you should go physically attack him or anything like that, but in this case knowledge is power, and everyone in your neighborhood has a right to know about the new neighbors status.
He could have made a one time mistake with a 16 year old girl who told him she was 18, or he just as easily could be a sexual predator who actively sought out a 13 year old girl and forced himself on her.
Either way, everybody else deserves to know.

Yes...you make everyone aware of this. Let me put it to you this way, how exactly would you feel if something happens and you did nothing? Take the initiative. People who abuse kids should be dealt with Roman style.

I don't think they should be able to live period. The fact these people aren't in jail for life or dead, shows major failure in our justice system. Drive around with a loud speaker and announce his sick *** is living there.

WOW, some astounding answers... But just for thought...

What if you went over to this guys house, introduced yourself, said you knew of him being on "the list" and he introduces you to his 22 year old wife.... The "victim".

No drastic and crazy as that may sound, I know a guy that I work with that is on "the list" he has been beat up, called every name in the book, but when he was 19, his g/f was 16 and in Texas, at the time, that was a no-no. Her daddy didn't like the age difference and the pressed the charges, he was found guilty of sex with a minor. So no he's on "the list" doesn't matter that he's actually married to her now, or that they have kids together, he still gets hate mail, death threats and other things of a harassing nature. DO the cops ever do anything when he gets beat up, nope they just see his rap sheet and see the conviction, bam no care at all.... So tote your hate and around, "Blow his head off", but you just never know, he may not be a bad guy at all.


Or, he's a psycho that made a really bad choice and did something unforgivable.... I would talk to him about it. If he's down right sh*tty with you, screw him, fliers everywhere!

I'm with Feldie. We don't know the whole story.

I would also talk to him to get the whole story, then probably still let my neighbors know. Find out if he participated in treatment and was successful or not, or if he was just locked up. The whole idea of harassing him, unless you plan to take it so far that he has to move, will just increase the risk. If a sex offender comes to hate someone, it might increase the chance of offending on that person's child. Anger and revenge often play a part in offenses.

But the most important thing is to talk to your girls about this guy. Almost all cases of molestation involve people that the perp knew before hand, often a family member. If your daughters know who he is, and why they should steer clear of him, they will be much safer. Make sure they come tell you if he ever approaches them. If he had any successful treatment, then he should know better than to put himself at risk to re-offend by having any relationships with kids, so if he talks to them, then he immediately becomes a higher risk.

Lol, I swear I had a flashback of Matthew McConaughey's closing argument defending Samuel L. Jackson in a "Time to Kill" reading Feldie's post. Sure you didn't take that little story from that, Feld?

Anyway...

There might be a couple of people who don't care to hear his side of the story, but I don't think most people in this thread are advocating that he be persecuted or that people should cast judgment without knowing the whole story. I think like most everyone else, I'm merely supporting the sharing of public knowledge. I know a couple posters said differently, but I'm not advocating anything violent. Sharing public information isn't condemning the guy. It's making people aware. And, the guy has to understand that's part of what goes with being on the list, no matter what the facts of his particular situation are.

What I said is that almost nothing would be over the top when it comes to "protecting your daughters." I believe that. But, I'm not saying the "village" get some torches on a dark night and go to his house to lynch the guy. I'm saying when parents are protecting their own children, I can understand that they'd might go to extremes to do so. I'm all for that as long as it doesn't lead to violence or something illegal/criminal in any way. Sharing the information doesn't strike me as something malicious or evil that should not be done, nor is it criminal to do so.

Invite him over for a sleep over with your kids. I'm sure he'll love to show them how to pitch a tent. You actually think he's going to tell you the truth if asked?
He'll act all nice.

This is what you should not do:

1. blow his head off
2. get all the neighbors together and stand on his front porch with a pitch fork and flames
3. curse him out everytime you see him

Anywayz, I would inform others about him because you can never be too safe. I would always keep a close eye on my kids. In the letter, I wouldn't call the guy any names but just politely give the people the information because they deserve to know. Lastly, I would probably drop one in his mail box.


There are actual situations like Feldie's. You just never know.

Sure there could be that very very very small chance it's like what feldie says. But that's so rare. And there is NO rehabing these guys period. I really doubt he'll give a rats A about a letter. You can actually find more detailed info online if you search.

I think a lot of you would be suprised to know how many sexual offenders live in your areas. I have a few in my neighborhood.
Find out for yourself.

Why are some of these people smiling in their pictures?

I actually know someone on the list in my area and his situation was similar to the one mentioned before. Her dad pressed charges when she was younger and they ended up getting married but he's still on the list.

And I do have an offender down the road from me.

There is one residence here in Holt with 3 registered offenders in the SAME HOUSE!!!! WTF!

BTW, my GF told me that you be put on the Offender List for getting caught peeing in public.

I have no one in my sub as a sex offender, now onto this topic, a life of fear, is no life for me.

Really most people are more scared for their kids, then the kids are. All you can do is teach your kids how to protect themselves. There gonna have to learn one way or another. Im so against sheltering children. Cause i clearly seen how bad it is, i wasn't sheltered, nearly everyone else was. An don't wanna get in details but they are way behind in development. It took them all the way till they were 20 to reach my level at 15, thats 5 years on them, an lets not get into how they get drunk with freedom in college cause the chains were so tight in life, that they go drinking themselves in oblivion

Where as i drank my self to oblivion in my teens, now that im 22 i barely even drink, an when i do drink i can't get to the point of losing control anymore.

make several print outs of the list page and start stuffing them into mail boxes up and down the street.
