WFMY News 2 - Sex Offender Loophole

With nearly 13,000 registered sex offenders in North Carolina, it's no wonder the state recently passed a bill to keep these people from living within a thousand feet of schools and day cares. But many people don't realize there is a loophole that lets some of those sex offenders off the hook.

2 Wants to Know reports about a daycare sandwiched between two registered sex offenders. The daycare wants the law enforcement to do something about it but so far the police say their hands are tied.

the sex offender laws are a form of segregation. this type of injustice was supposed to be abolished in the 50's and 60's. this is part of the witch hunt mentality that has been prevalent for several decades. the sex offender laws will have to fall. this type of injustice cannot be tolerated. saying that a person cannot live or frequent certain areas is segregation, pure and simple.

More media hype about sex offenders. They neglect to mention most former offenders have committed non-violent crimes and rarely re-offend. You can be a sex offender for urinating in public! These "news" idiots are just looking to boost their ratings, not to tell you the truth. What about bullies and dope dealers on the playground? Oh well, a teenager who had consensual sex with another teenager is much more dangerous. Yeah right.
