The Sun Sentinel did a rather lengthy piece that a helpful reader was nice enough to send my way. Here is part of the article:
But Don Ryce, whose son Jimmy was abducted, raped and murdered in 1995, doubts residency laws can work.
"I think this gives a false feeling that you have the problem under control," he said. "It's hard work to truly protect your children from these predators, and it takes a lot of different systems and it takes a lot of money. So the temptation is to do something where you pretend, and some political figures pretend, it's going to solve the problem once and for all."
The article was the same rhetoric Florida papers have been spinning since 2005: RSOs have it tough in this state and some cops think it's a bad idea while others don't care at all about an offender's rights. It gets tiring reading the same things over and over again, and the Sun-Sentinel's piece, like so many others, is effectively ruined by the "enlightened" comments left on-line.
