Millinocket, ME too restrict Sex Offenders from Parks and Schools
Congratulations Millinocket, ME on getting tough with sex offender. Its about time municipalities start taking preemptive measures to protect children. What purpose would a sex offender have to be near a school or park? Get these convicted predators away from children target rich environments. There is no good reason why a sex offender would need to be near a school or play ground. Society needs to act and pass the proper laws so we are not just prosecuting these predators after they have assaulted or killed children.
MILLINOCKET - The town is poised to become the state’s first municipality to enact an ordinance banning convicted sex offenders from loitering at parks, schools and other places children gather.
Attorneys from the Maine Municipal Association generally approved the proposed ordinance that town officials hope to have enacted by October, Town Manager Eugene Conlogue said Monday.
“They see no reason why we cannot do it,” Conlogue said.
