CHARLOTTE, N.C. (FOX 46 CHARLOTTE) – Right now, in some North Carolina counties, sex offenders can live right beyond 1,000 of the front door of a school due to the way current laws are written. Now, one lawmaker is pushing to make sure they’re further away from those properties.
In some areas, sex offenders could theoretically live right up to the school’s fencing if the yard is big enough, but if Senate Bill 52 passes, sex offenders won’t be able to live 1,000 from the property line or wherever the school’s land ends.
…
Senator Sawyer said this bill will be voted on next week and she believes it will get bipartisan support.
“My cousin’s daughter was actually kidnapped. She was 14, and a man came up to her and her friend and pulled a gun on them and forced them into a van. Luckily, she fought for the wheel and got away. So the further away people can be from my children, the better,” Stucker said.
And how exactly would this new change would’ve prevented what your cousins daughter experienced? Was the person a registrant? Did he do it form his front/backyard while she was walking by?
Oh look, another child abuser exploiting children for politically and personal gain…. and I mean child abuser. So far the laws have barely effected me.. but definitely affect my 2 year old daughter. Anyone who makes a law that hurts the mental well being of a child is a child abuser in my eyes.
Question.. what are the laws with us on premise restrictions on schools and daycares? I know certain offenders have the premise restrictions, but I am one of the lucky few who doesn’t. And I have a daughter. Am I allowed to pick up and drop off my daughter at a day care? I can’t find any law against it. Even in local ordinances. Yet I hear of registrants getting arrested for that very thing. I never hear the ending verdict.. but still.. also… Am I allowed to even live with my daughter? The judge okayed it. She wasn’t the victim.. yet nc statute is as followed..
Nc statute 208.17
B It shall be unlawful for any person to conduct any activity at his or her residence where the person:
(1) Accepts a minor or minors into his or her care or custody from another, and
(2) Knows that a person who resides at that same location is required to register under this Article.
(c) A violation of this section is a Class F felony. (2006-247, s. 11(b).)
Sounds like Amber fell into the government propaganda of fearing strangers; while opening up to people in her circle who could actually harm her children. Just because a registrant lives by a school doesn’t mean they are watching kids scroll by on the way to school. I bet that if something happened to a kid they wouldn’t rush out to help because of the hatred caused by immoral people.
North Carolina is awful but Florida’s worse. Leave it to Florida man.
