A registered, Level 3 sex offender, homeless and unaccounted for, should NEVER be allowed to happen anywhere. Sanford was in direct violation of every law enacted to protect citizens, both adults and children, against registered sex offenders. I mean, he lived in a vacant house next to a field popular with local kids. This would be a very different story if the authorities had been doing their jobs in notifying residents about sex offenders in their neighborhood, and making Sanford followed the laws we have to have especially for creatures like him. While it's true the young girl had been repeatedly warned not to cut through the field, if parents and neighbors felt the field was unsafe, why didn't they form some type of neighborhood watch system over it, or ask police to patrol the area around the field more often?
If a Level 3, registered sex offender does not have a specific place with an address to live, he/she should not be released from prison until they get one. If they can't get one, they should be forced reside in a state sponsored, monitored, halfway house until they can get one.
As for the issue of GPS monitors, they do not indicate what a person is doing, only where is (active monitoring), or was (passive monitoring) at any given time. Leaving a satellite in space to be responsible for the whereabouts and activities of sex offenders is not a good idea, at least not in and of itself. Nothing can replace real time observations and checkups on dangerous criminals allowed to roam our communities. A more successful system of checks and balances in successfully monitoring registered sex offenders, especially those most likely to reoffend, would be to combine GPS monitoring with a continuing level of old-school probation responsibilities physically involving both state authorities, and the offenders.
Currently, there are 8 homeless, Level 3 sex offenders registered in Clark County. Eight monsters on the loose. I pray the residents of Vancouver, Washington, including those in all of Clark county, will do something about this prelude to future tragedy before it strikes again.
