The Bug House Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 And its got me heated! This nogoodsonofagun moved in across the street about 6 months ago. Let me try and describe the area where I live, its a small neighborhood, about 25 houses on a closed circle. No outlet, only 1 entrance and only residential traffic. Its a quiet area, lots of first time home owners and young families (like mine). I'd say at least 12 - 14 of the houses have young children, and several others have teenagers living there. In the nice weather, there are people (children) walking around the loop all day. This guy moves in RIGHT NEXT TO A DAYCARE!! Literally, next door to him is a daycare with about 10 kids between the ages of 2 and 6. No one was notified, I only found out because I checked the state sex offender website the other day. He was convicted in 2006 for "possession of child pornography". I spoke to a buddy who is an attorney and he told me usually that conviction means it was blatant kiddie porn. Another buddy who lives down the road is a cop in a different town (his wife just had their second) He is livid! We tried to schedule an appointment with the Chief of Police, he's supposed to call me back. As far as I can tell, its up to local PD whether or not to inform residents. If he didn't think it was neccessary to inform in this case, I don't know when it would be. I'm thinking of going to the newspaper with this, they'd be all over it.

camoman1 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I would have liked to have been informed of that prior to him moving there thats for sure. Thats kind of a sticky situation in general...the guy is obviously a dirtbag...but folks like him have to live somewhere. Sure sounds like there is a more fitting place however.

Swamphunter Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I don't know how it is in Vermont, but in NYS, the public is only to be notifed of certain level sex offenders in the area. Must be he was deemed enough of a threat to prevent him from moving next to a day care. Ask the Chief and see what he says the conditions of his release were... call his probation officer, ask them, maybe there is an order preventing this... then again, maybe not.

Turkeygirl Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 A long time back one moved in on a road a couple miles away...Not thrilled about it but not much to be done. The local town cop notified a neighbor who then told us. Never had any problems...don't even know if he's still there. Are you a regular checker of the state sex offender website? lol...

The Bug House Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I don't know how it is in Vermont, but in NYS, the public is only to be notifed of certain level sex offenders in the area.

Ask the Chief and see what he says the conditions of his release were... call his probation officer, ask them, maybe there is an order preventing this... then again, maybe not. From the information I read on the website, it seems to be up to local law enforcement whether or not to notify neighbors. I just want to make sure that PD was indeed notified by DOC about this guy moving into town, its legal for him to live here, and that he actually is compliant with his release conditions. If this was a case of an 18 year old who had a 16 year old girlfriend or something, I'd be understanding but preliminarily it seems to not be the case. Unfortunately I understand this may be a bad situation, but entirely legal. I'm just PO'd he's in a neighborhood with many children, living directly next to a daycare and noone was notified.

But I should be. I live in a town of less than 3000 people, according to the site there are 6 RSO's living here. To be fair, I haven't heard a peep from this guy but now that I'm paying attention it seems he does not work and is around day and night.
