Hi Everyone,
One of the nurses in the ER where i work obtained a detailed list of sex offenders from the county sheriffs office. This list, much to my surprise, differs greatly from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation's website.
I am upset but not surprised to find that my neighbors son across the street is a registered sex offender. he was convicted of Sexual Assault on a child, and was convicted in May of 2003. This family has been destroyed by crystal meth. all 4 kids are addicted, and the house has caught fire twice because of a meth lab in the basement (the second time right after we moved in...the house was empty, with the yellow tape around it.) My neighbors next door told me what happened and it is common knowledge. The parents are embarrassed and i rarely see them. Their 3rd child, a son, killed himself last year less than 4 blocks from home after being chased by police. He was wanted for holding up a bank and a grocery store. The youngest daughter is in and out of jail. The two older boys are reportedly in jail as well.
I am almost positive the sex offender is their oldest son, who i have never seen, nor met, but i believe was involved in a stand off with police last November. The SWAT team was in front of my house 4 four hours. I had a sharpshooter on my roof (they actually asked my permission, imagine that!). The mans name they were calling i am almost positive is the man on the list. I have not seen him and am hoping he is back in custody ( I never knew why they wanted him, but one of the paramedics on scene told me he had escaped from jail in another state). However, there is a man living there that i have never seen before, who could very well be the man on the list. he fits the description.
I rarely let my 7 year old play outside alone. He usually plays Light Sabers with the two kids diagonally across the street, or on their jungle gym in the back yard. he frequently plays with another child also, and usually he is one of a group of kids riding bikes, roller-blading or having fun outside our quiet family filled street.
I don't want to scare him, but how do i stress the importance of never going in someones house, that sort of thing? I do not want my child to become a prisoner of a very real threat to his safety. He has done nothing wrong, this man has. and although i believe that people do pay fro their crimes, i think we can all agree that rarely do these people stop doing this disgusting heinous crime, and rarely are they ever rehabilitated.
The offenders mom, breeds pugs. She has proudly shown me more than one litter. This of course scares me. I could see this man asking a child to come over and look at the new puppies, which wouldn't be a lie, because they breed dogs, and usually have a litter!
I am rambling, but i would like some objective advice on this.
I have to run an errand, but will be back and check in.
I know i am upset, but what does one do about this? outside of seeling my home and moving?
