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]

PP here.

I should have prefaced my recommendation with "If you really feel compelled to do something...". If it were me I would either assume the offender was someone else at the house or the guy was trying to rebuild his life after doing something stupid and let him get on with it. Maybe try find out what exactly he was convicted of. There are a lot of unknowns here.

IMO Sex offender lists are BS - they get filled with crap to the point where there is too much minor stuff on there when it should be reserved for predatory sex offenders who represent an ongoing risk to society but can't be kept in jail for some reason. [/quote]
