something IS wrong here ... your husband apparently is a child molester. The probation officer doesn't get to dictate to the landlord who may and may not be on the property.

Just a curious question... why are you married to this guy? do you think your child will ever have any friends allowed to come over and play?

Not everyone on the list is a child molestor by Freda DeMarco (GA) on October 2, 2014 @19:41	[ Reply ]

People fail to understand that not every person on the sex offender registry is a child molestor. You can be put on the list for things as stupid as urinating in public (because a man has his penis out even if no one sees it but a minor was present), committing a crime where no sex was involved but an underage person was touched on the arm during a robbery. A 16 y/o who has consenting sex with a 14 y/o can be put on the list, even when the 14 year old admits it was consensual. The man down the road from me was convicted of rape more than 30 years ago in another state he is on the sex offender list in my state, I don't find him to be a danger and he lives within 1000ft of a school. The terms for location of residence and employment are different depending on each case, it is not an automatic thing. I'm not defending true child molestors and sexual predators but the laws mark a person for life when their crime was not a horrid as molesting a child and the only way to get removed from the list is to go blind (at least in my state of GA) or die, there is no other way. The truly horrible predators of children should be the ones punished the harshest but too many people paint them all with the same brush of sex offender. My rental house is without 500 ft of both a church, school, public library and park, so I rarely even have an issue with people on the registry trying to rent my house

the original poster says about "other children" living there, distance to the parks and school ... that's why I came up with "child molester" ... I absolutely get it about that list but I was going off what she said
