No, I haven't met such an individual via any means as of yet. If I did, I'd likely question them avidly; I'm quite a curious person, after all! I'd likely first look to understand their crime and assess if this individual poses an active threat. I'm in a dorm now, though my family's house is back in a very.. family-orriented community. Small, token gate, children and their parents often out on the streets, older folks walking their dogs and talking. Quite a pleasant place, really. Part.. part of me doubts that even a truly repentant sex offender would even be given a chance. The neighhorhood would likely have plenty of lawyers interested enough in the well-fair of the area to pose legal pressures that would, in reality, boarder dangerously on harrasement, if not blantantly violating any semblence of due process. I.. I don't know exactly what depravity could drive someone to do such things. I'm not entirely sure how I'd react to such an individual.. I suppose I'd have to hear their story and think it out then. I feel my conclusion would likely have a great potential to vary with respect to the particular sex offender. PS- You know, come to think of it.. I'm not sure if Virginia requires such information, nor have I checked that database for my area before. It's an odd thought, but even several may already reside there without my awareness. I do wonder, though.. if one did move in, how much the atmosphere of the community would change?
