Please say something if you are sure that this person is a registered offender. Print out the sheet from the database, make a thousand copies at Kinkos and hand them out to parents at drop-off and pickup.

If he is a parent, he needs to make other arrangements for his child to get home from school.

Always make sure you know why first. You can end up on that list for many reasons.

If it's for statutory rape, I don't care nor should someone be on a list for that.

Sorry, totally disagree.

Perhaps you'll agree when it's time to sell your house, but your next-door neighbors' 17-year-old kid who got charged with statutory rape on account of consensual sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend is on the list making your house lose 20% of its value.

Most people do not check the sex offender registry when buying houses. So, irrelevant.

You're ok with lesser crimes against children?!

Not in DC. Not sure where OP is located.

They should just call the police. CPS doesn't need to be involved in a pickup and neither does the principal.

Who knows. OP posted this 11 years ago.

Sorry should have said convicted and I'm sure it's the same guy because he goes in and out of the same house. It's one of those houses where a lot of people live so I'm not sure if the kids belong to him or not.

Maybe I'm mis-reading here but do you mean a lot of adults live in the house/building? If so then the guy could just happen to live at the same address as the person with the conviction. Be careful with public naming and shaming as you could have the wrong person and you could tarnish someone's reputation for many years to come.

Also from the title of the offense it could be something very minor - it really depends on circumstances as to whether it actually indicates a risk to kids. It's a class 5 felony in VA - barely worse than a serious misdemeanor so chances are he wasn't caught luring little kids into his basement.

Call the non-emergency police number for the local police station and check in with them. If it is the guy and he is doing something he shouldn't they will come down on him like a ton of bricks.

Really?! I find this hard to believe.
I think the opposite.

But how does him picking up his own child from school affect your child's safety? If the school sides with you (and in today's litigious, paranoid society, I can't imagine a school administrator being brave enough not to) can you imagine what his kid will feel when daddy has to explain why he can't pick them up from school any more. Will he have to pull the kid out of school altogether until alternate arrangements, arrangements that may not be as safe or comfortable to the child, can be made? Why would you do this to this kid who surely did not do anything wrong?

This is why I asked the question here first. For all I know the school already knows. This child is older than mine and we go to a different school. (This is one of the "choice" schools in the area) So everything in me is saying MYOB but a small part of me is saying what if something happens and I did not say anything.

It’s not even your kids school?? How did it even come about that you saw a person picking up their kid from a different school than yours and you were like ….. hey that face looks familiar from my recent memorization of the sex offenders registry

Calm down, you moron. It does the child and other parent no good at all to have their private life plastered all over the neighborhood.

If OP is certain that the man is the person identified on the registry, then OP can call the Principal, who is mandated reporter, and tell him or her privately. OP can also call the police and let them know. OP can also call CPS and let them know. OP can do all three. What OP should NOT do... is gossip to all and sundry!

This post is 11 years old. The kid would have graduated by now but I’m sure OP is still stalking them.

There is a registered sex offender that lives on my street, a few weeks ago I noticed him picking up a child from the elementry school up the street (I'm not sure if its his or not, I would assume so though). What is the rules and regulations on this and would you want to know as a parent if there was a sex offender around? I have not said anything to parents around me yet and I'm not sure if I should.

Why is this any of your business at all ?

Yes, do this if you want to get sued or criminally charged for misusing the information and harassment. Sex offenders have rights too, you know. If you believe his sex offense includes prohibitions that require that he not be within so many feet of a public school, then make an anonymous report to the police... but for goodness' sake, don't follow this idiot's advice.
