If sex offenders are dangerous and still a threat to children, they do not need to be living freely at all. Forget the 1000 feet rule. How is that going to make children safer? I'm sure child sex offenders never leave their house and instead just wait for children to come knocking on their door. They go to where the children are, no matter where they live. The 1000 foot rule is not going to stop that. If they are a danger to innocent children, they need to be locked up. Period. No housing/working/loitering restrictions are going to keep a dangerous sex criminal from attacking again. It's pretty clear that the law is an effort to make the public think you're doing something to protect them, when the end result means very little.
