Can the parent's sue the state of Minnesota for culpability? This man was released from prison in May '03 and was a level 3 sexual offender and was not supervised on probation/parole. Somebody needs to be held accountable for this. That man should have never ever been released back on the streets

But he served his sentence, didn't he?

The People of Minnesota, acting through their elected representatives, have determined that life in prison or execution is not appropriate for offenders of this type.

They are wrong-very badly wrong-but there are no grounds for a lawsuit.

I went back and reread the perps info. I did see where he completed his term. I was mistaken in the supervision part. However, I believe there are certain crimes that are committed that should be supervised longer than 6 months after release. Level 3 sex offenders with a history of kidnapping should be one. I hope the parents and citizens push for a change in the laws.
