What would you do?? Possible tw

Question

So my family and I rent out home, which were we love is really hard to find rentals, especially at the price we got it for. Nice house, nice neighborhood. But I just recently found out A registered sex offender moved in literally across the street.. we can’t afford to move. But I am concerned. What would you do in my situation?

Answer

I mean if you don't have the money to move right now then I don't know what options you really have.  Keep an eye on your kids, which you should be doing anyway.

Answer

First find out what type of offense they were charged with, big difference in say urinating in public vs sexual assault of a child or rape. You can also view their risk status online.

Answer

Stay. If you have children always be with them, there’s offenders everywhere.

Answer

Well you’re definitely in an advantaged position since you’re actually aware that they’re a sex offender and can take the necessary precautions.  A lot of people don’t have that luxury

Answer

First I’d check what type of offense it was and I wouldn’t automatically move because of it. Now days there are so many registered offenders a lot of neighborhoods have them. Personally I’d rather know than live beside one that’s never been caught 🤷🏻‍♀️ but just be mindful if you have kids and keep an eye on them but the offense could be something like urinating in public

Answer

Depends what their charges were. Charges against children, violent sex crimes, I would 100% save every last crumb I had to move and ever let my kids out of my sight until that day comes. 
If it was something “minor” like indecent exposure or public urination, I would stay but still be wary.

Answer

If you haven't already find out why they are on the sex offender list. There are a lot of ways to get on that list. I have a relative who is on that list for public urination. He was hung over and working at a construction site. Probably wouldn't even have gotten on that list but the construction site was an elementary school, no kids were around. It's gross and tacky of him but he certainly isn't a rapist.

Answer

Just being in the registry doesn't make them a threat to you and your children. I don't know if you can see the charge, but there's tons of things that get you on the registry. It also sounds like you don't really have options, so just watch your kids and if it was some kind of violent crime don't let them out alone

Answer

If his crimes aren’t against children then I wouldn’t care. It’s easy to get on that list. Very easy. So if it’s not sexual assault or crimes against children then it’s no business of mine.

Answer

I would stay there. No point in moving, in my opinion. There are sex offenders everywhere, as someone else said. And not all of them have even been caught or charged. At least you know to be cautious.
