A sex offender chats up my step-kids, I will step into his/her personal space. I will speak to them with clarity and intensity. They will have absolutely no way of mis-understanding that if there is any hankypanky they will be scrubbed against the nearest brick wall. By scrubbed I mean they will see the results of my displeasure in the mirror every morning for the rest of their lives. No problems and no confrontations unless something gets started - however I don't care if they get upset because I am aware of their sick-shit history. I will not talk to them unless they talk to my kids. Then it opens up a little.
Any sex offender will also know that it is ok to live in the community, but if they want to chat up a kid or offer a kid some little gift, I will be calling on them to repeat my message. If I see them while I'm out with the young ones, I will stop and point him/her out to the kids, and repeat any warnings the kids will already have heard. This is done with clarity and focus. I want any offender to know that the kids are out of bounds. If an offender feels unwelcome in the neighbourhood, or worries that their societal debt payment is unrecognized, tough shit. He can move to some stag location such as a lumber-camp or mine, and do missionary work among the adult males who live there.
I think it is a bit like knowing there is a dangerous animal living in the forest nearby, or finding out about some toxic site which could be attractive to children. I don't need to take a baseball bat to anybody until shit goes down. I do need to let any twisted fucks in the neighbourhood know that I am a seriously intense fellow when it comes to the young ones in my care.
Live where you want. Stay away from the kids.
