[quote=Anonymous]So. Today I just learned that our very close by neighbor is a registered sex offender for child pornography. I am certainly glad I know and will be more vigilant and alert about my very young kids. Our neighborhood is pretty small: three streets and a cul de sac so pretty small grid. We recently moved and barely know our neighbors. We have exchanged pleasantries with a neighbor that recently moved in with small children. There are lots of other families with young children as well. So, here are the facts and let me know if you think I should tell either the new neighbor who I'm friendly with, the other neighbors as well or nobody:

1. All I know from the registry is that it was for child porn. I have no idea whether the depictions were brutal, sadistic, involved young children or were of 17 year old children. To me, it makes a difference whether this person was looking at pictures of girls who looked like women, or boys or young children. I have no idea whether it was just viewing it, distributing it or making it

2. I don't know the neighbors. Perhaps they know this guy, know of his past, and really like him or at least, don't mind that he's a neighbor. Again, I don't know the nature of the charges so who knows how bad it actually is. I may look like a pot-stirrer when that would not be my intent.

3. I've never even met the guy and have no reason to think, other than the conviction, that he is a threat to my children.

That being said, I am personally very glad that I do know and would like to be informed if I were not in the know. Finally, if I should tell the neighbors, how could I possibly do that without it seeming like I am on a witch hunt or crusade, which I am not. Thanks in advance. I'm a litttle shaken up at the news and wish we would have checked the registry before we moved in.[/quote]
