A few weeks ago we were happy to report that the state was moving a sex offender out of a halfway house that was near an elementary school in Niagara Falls. I have to admit, we were a little harsh on the decision to put him there in the first place. I believe I called the person responsible a bozo.
It turns out bozo is much too nice a word. When they moved him to a North Tonawanda motel, THEY PUT HIM EVEN CLOSER TO ANOTHER SCHOOL! Not only that, there’s a daycare center nearby. HELLO???? Did anyone ever think about maybe taking a drive through the neighborhood before dumping a sex offender there? A little common sense maybe?
The state has a law preventing level 3 sex offenders from living near a school. It’s a good law…it’s supposed to protect children. You’d think the folks at the state Division of Parole might follow it.
When we reported the move we said in a joking way that since we’re dealing with bureaucrats, the guy could end up near an amusement park. Advice to the folks at Fantasy Island: be on the lookout.
