It’s alarming that you can live right next to a sex offender & not know. I would’ve never known if the other mom hadn’t told me. They should be required to notify people as a condition of their parole.

They're not required to in PA. If he's on parole, and moved, his parole officers would have to approve the move to begin with. If he's not a registered offender then it most likely wasn't something a court deemed violent and or a danger to society.

I've done a lot of research on the justice system regarding a lot of criminal proceedings. Family worked in prison settings my whole life. They want to put things in categories for the sake of filing and procedure. Whatever happened, the courts didn't deem him violent or a danger to society. People are capable of turning their lives around too.

Just something to think about

The registry is publicly available and unless they are an SVP it's on you to research it.

There are tons of apps available too.

Sign up on the state police site to get notifications. You can get notifications for up to a 5 mile radius from the address you are monitoring (I.E. your address).
