This is a difficult one.. I mean the guy has served his time and paid his dues..but he is a level 3. Knowing that offenders often use some sort of tool to groom their victims (giving her fireworks) I could see how the mother would be provoked to do something...however she did the wrong thing in this case.
First thing she should have done was to call the sheriff's department, and then the parole officer to notify them that he was in her yard offering her child fireworks. The laws vary greatly by state, but I'm sure they wouldn't want a level 3 offender in someone's yard..much less someone's yard with children.
Granted.. if I found a level 3 talking to my kids I would probably call the police..but I can't promise I would do that. If I thought the offender was trying to molest my children..I'd gladly spend a few months or longer in jail.
