Megan’s Law? It’s Only Half the Battle
Spend some time in any PTA meeting, Mommy & Me group, or even a playdate with friends and it isn?t long before the conversation turns into a worried discussion about Megan?s Law and the sex offender information that parents can now readily access with just a few clicks of their computer mouse.

Unfortunately, there are a few flaws in this perceived ?safety net? that well-intentioned parents should know. Don?t get me wrong, I am a HUGE proponent of Megan?s Law and the information it provides.
