Are you kidding me? Our children have to change their bus stop to accommodate sex offenders? What is this world coming to?

On a similar note, I have written to the Beacon and called several times regarding a Level III sex offender with 5 convictions for child molestation, who moved in close proximity to John Brown Frances School. I was informed that RI law allows sex offenders to live within 300 feet of our schools. I have spoken to Sen McCaffrey and Rep. McNamara about this issue and have been pushing to have the law changed to 1000 feet. I have spoken to countless people, started a petition, and myself and other parents have handed out hundreds of flyers in an effort to raise awareness and rally support regarding this issue. When I contacted the Beacon about this, apparently it wasn't newsworthy and no one ever got back to me. I applaud Mr. Howland and his daughter and support them in their efforts! I would also like to ask for people's support in changing the law by contacting their Legislators.
