sex offenders rounded up

I got this off the news today. I thought it was sort of funny but then I wondered if this was done in your hometown what would you think. I guess we would know where to find all the twisted minds at least. What do you say?:

LIMA, Ohio — Officials in Lima want to make sure sex offenders have no contact with children out trick-or-treating.

During the two hours Saturday afternoon when kids will be out collecting candy, people convicted of sex crimes will be rounded up and kept under supervision.

Project director Jim Wingate with the Allen County Sex Offender Risk Reduction Court said children going to strangers' houses might be vulnerable. He said sex offenders who don't show up will be jailed.

Bill Kluge, a Lima defense attorney called the plan "ludicrous," noting that the sex offenders wear ankle monitors, so authorities already know where they are.

Approximately 40 sex offenders will be affected by the trick-or-treating roundup, according to the Lima News.


  • I got a better idea

    why not each parent go trick-or-treating with their children. Considering the world we live in today I'd never let me child go with another group or without me. If a parent is there looking over the child and the candy he receives then they are just about as safe as you can get while going door to door. Nothing is totally safe. I personally think this is silly, but what the heck do I know..
