Don?t get me wrong, I am a HUGE proponent of Megan?s Law and the information it provides. I strongly believe that once a sex offender has been released back into the community, the public has the absolute right to know their whereabouts. But? focusing solely on this component of child safety can do a serious disservice to our kids, IF we stop there.
