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.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

You seem like a very reasonable person, and your response is well-thought-out and not hysterical in any way. As you point out, his offence might have been very minor. The thing is, from what I know of sex offender laws, it probably is illegal for him to be anywhere near a school, even to pick up his own children. My question is, who will benefit from this call to the police? Will neighborhood children be somehow safer? Will his own children, whose life has already been affected in many adverse ways from having a father on the registry, be better off if he can no longer pick them up? Even in the worst case scenario, if he is abusing his own kids, presumably the daylight walk from school to home in full view of the neighbors isn't where the crime takes place. So what would be your motivation for calling?[/quote]
