I agree with this. I'm reminded of the story in Miami where the sex offenders have to live under a bridge, because it's illegal for them to live anywhere else.
Besides, the offenses that the sex offender list should contain, (not the frivilous bullshit that some are put on it for) should carry life without parole.
Quite frankly I'd rather see the thing done away with, and send rapists/molesters to prison for the rest of their lives. Just make sure you take steps necessary to only convict the guilty.

I have to agree with this (Mixedmedia pointed this out too), since all they say is sex offender that's likely to reoffend, we really don't know what the man was convicted of. Public urination in some states can get you the "sex offender" label.
If he were indeed a child molester, they shouldn't have let him out of prison in the first place, however that does not justify, or allow me to condone in any way the woman's actions.
Since she sought him at his home, and attacked him with a baseball bat, why was she not charged with
aggravated assault at the very least, if not attempted murder? She did attack a man using a weapon, in a situation that cannot be deemed self-defense or defense of others from immediate physical danger. The child in this instance was not in immediate danger, so regardless of the mother's feelings, she had no right to attack that man.
If it's true that he did actually talk to her daughter, then she should have reported it to the police and the police or his PO should have violated his parole and sent him back to prison.
I'm not inclined to believe the woman, without some evidence (other than her testimony) that he did indeed talk to her child (if I understand the article correctly 1 year before the assault). She has motive to lie, and it's an easy lie to believe without question. If she had attacked him while he molesting her child, I would have a totally different view of the whole thing.
