This Should NOT Be Legal

I live on Spruce street a block away from the elementary school. 

One more block over on Walnut street lives a registered sex offender that was found guilty of child pornography possession. How is this legal?! The site says he moved here in October. I'm appalled and sickened to know a sex offender now lives a block from my 9 year old daughter and two blocks away from over 900 elementary students. 

Will you please make our community aware of this? Every parent deserves to know.

Sheriff Lewis has a webpage where you can enter your address and it will tell you of registered sex offenders within a certain radius of the location:

Most counties have this.

That's why they are registered on the site, so people will be in the know.

Strike this address from your Halloween trick or treating list.

They gotta live somewhere. The law says we get to know where that is.

They have to have a sign up on Halloween stating "No candy". But I agree they should not be allowed to live near a school.

Maryland does not currently have any laws against registered sex offenders living within a certain radius of schools. Its absurd.look up school st in fruitland!..there's about 8 just on that street alone.

3:03, You are completely full of CRAP. There are laws on the books, of which I have been fighting for years to increase the distance between a residence and a school. A sex offender can't live within 500 feet of a school, yet little children are forced to walk to school if they live less then a mile from the school. The law is just plain stupid and needs change.

Nevertheless, I can't stand it when someone like you comes on here acting like they know the laws when you absolutely do not. You've just been schooled.
