no I dont think has anything to do with this but my point is we have allot of sex affenders running around free. They get a slap on the hand and sent home.

"We have a lot of sex offenders running around free"

That's for sure, it's depressing. But at least having registries of them is a step in the right direction.

My zip code could not compare with the Smarts' for pricey homes, but we only have one sex offender listed on the registry for it. (Of course, the registry could be off.) That is enough to make me shudder. If I'd had as many listed as the Smarts had listed, I'd have been pretty worried.
