BILL INFORMS PUBLIC OF JUVENILE SEX OFFENDERS

Under a new bill being considered by state lawmakers, police could alert neighbors if a juvenile sex offender lives nearby.  Currently, a sex offender registry listing adults is available online.  A separate list that is not available to the public does exist for juveniles.  Representative Joe Parisi explains, What this bill is saying and what I believe is that sex offenses do need to be looked at differently.  Even if you're dealing with juveniles because people do need to know if a sexually violent and dangerous person is moving in next door to them, even if the person is 16 years old.
