Here in PWC, VA there is a mandatory meeting tonight for child sex offenders during Trick or Treating hours & if they are not there, police will go to their house & get them to the meeting.
Also, they are not allowed to decorate, have pumpkins or have their lights on tonight.
All of which, I'm not sure I think is extreme. What are your thoughts on this? Have you ever thought of checking the sex offender registry before heading out to knock on strangers doors and ask for something with your adorable child up for their gazing & gawking?
Honestly, I'm thankful my county kind of takes care of this for me with the whole mandatory meeting sneaky sneaky business, now I feel like I don't have to worry about it myself. And that makes me feel less guilty for thinking about it. Now, I'm curious if I'll notice all the homes not participating & wonder if a child molester lives inside.
This isn't my usual fare for Liam Fellows Adventures but it is a parenting issue & I'm curious to see how y'all feel about this or if I just sent you to therapy for bringing it to your attention.

They do this in Marion Co (Indy) and reported on the meeting last evening. It is a great idea and I am glad they are doing it - totally makes sense.
On the other hand, I guess I am still of the mind that not everyone is convicted so I am still leery of predators esp. on a night like Halloween. It is likely I will be following my child around until he like 25... I kid.
