I think everyone needs to go back and read the initial post. The whole point was that the system failed by not notifying the proper authorities. NG has every right to be concerned, and she's well within her rights to make sure that she and her kids avoid this guy, regardless of the actual circumstances of his crime. If she starts handing out flyers about the fact that he's a registered sex offender without knowing the facts behind his conviction, that's something altogether different, but I don't see anything along those lines. She's talked to the authorities and some friends and neighbors, and she's again well within her rights to do so. Finding out exactly what he did seems like the next logical step (to me at least) towards figuring out if he's an actual threat or not, but that's her step to make.
There's no witch hunt in progress, although it could certainly turn into that if NG declines to do the responsible thing.
