California Orders 2,700 Sex Offenders to Move Within 45 Days Saturday, September 08, 2007

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — More than 2,700 recently paroled sex offenders in California have been told they have to move because they are violating a new law that bars them from living near schools and parks.

On Friday, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation finished notifying 2,741 sex offenders that they have 45 days to find legal housing, or they will be sent back to prison for violating their parole, said spokesman Bill Sessa.

The department previously estimated no more than 2,100 parolees were violating the law approved by California voters in November. Jessica's Law, named after a 9-year-old child kidnapped and killed by a molester in Florida, prohibits offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school or park.

Inmate advocates, some lawmakers and the corrections department itself warn that requiring offenders to move could force some to go underground, move to rural areas, become homeless, or ignore warnings and return to overcrowded state prisons.

"Department officials said they had to wait to sort out court challenges, a union agreement and a new state regulation. Notifications began Aug. 17."

Leave it to unions to be FIGHTING this.

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you. They just think there's only 2,700. Then there's all those who have fallen through the cracks or they don't know where they've gotten off to.

I wonder how many of these perverts have already served time at the graybar hotel and how many are just on parole?

Our society sure does go to a lot of trouble and expense to avoid the obvious solution: the castration option.

Molest a child, lose your balls.

This is California’s sick way of forcing them to move out of state, where they they may commit more sex crimes, but at least not in California.

You speak THE TRUTH.

Meanwhile their agenda in schools reaks of sex and perversion being acceptable.

BUT will that REALLY stop them?

Won’t they just do other things to them?

Isn’t it a emotional/mind issue?

Will removing a body part really stop them?

Maybe we should consider the concept of internal exile the way the Tsars and the Soviets did it.

When someone gets paroled from prison after a child molestation crime, he or she lives in a special pedophile city, maybe in the Nevada desert or out on the Alaskan tundra.

A city built from scratch. A city that doesn’t yet exist.

Penalty for leaving Pedville: back to prison.

Or more probably, move to rural cities and infest those as well.

Coming to a neighborhood near you!

CA needs to get tougher on dirtbag criminals. This initiative was a small step in the right direction.

That's just those on parole -- still under some form of supervision.

Castration doesn’t work. The only cure for repeat molesters is lifetime incarceration.
