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. Parents everywhere are feverishly checking these websites, sometimes weekly or even daily, to see if a registered sex offender resides nearby. 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. 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.

Guilty Part II

I first want to apologize for not having added more meat to this weeks blog posts. As you know, I started writing the book this week, and Ive been trying to catch my breath, and figure out how to juggle the book writing, the blog writing, and the website upgrade all at the same time. Ive really had very little time for anything or anyone this week, its been all about the work. But I look at it as a short term sacrifice, and then things should settle down a little.
