It's a sign something's bent, even if he hasn't crossed shifting legal boundaries (yet). Parents will always be worried about these things. The guy appears very close to being incompatible with acceptable society, and the system reacted. This case appears to have gone too far but the guy is living on the edge.

But he didin't do it, there is a uge difference between thinking of something, and DOING something. Writers and cinematographers constantly think and depit ways to break the law (the perfect crime, the perfect bank robbery, hell, even the perfect rape) but they're not liable 'cause they never acted out their thoughts. I have to give you that if this man lived next to my house i'd be concerned about my children and that i for sure will have an eye on him 'cause he may be a threat, but untill he does something to someone he is innocent as my other neighbor. Reading about this, i even got all scared out remembering the time i receive by mail a cartoon depicting all the peanuts characters (snoopy, charlie brown, etc...) in a mega orgy, the cartoon was hillarious, but under this law and this judge's interpretation i could face jail time.
There's nothing wrong about been cautios, but you can't prosecute someone BEFORE the crime is done a la Minority Report.
