I agree with you, Maestro, they could have worked better with the couple, but make an exception for one, you have to do it for all is what they would say. In addition, the sheriff is usually an elected official, so he answers to the public every election cycle.

These people you talk of do not care about people they do not know, especially if they are a ex-sex offenders. They would ruin your life if you got between them and missing the next episode of their favorite TV show. Our lives are all in the hands of narcissistic sociopaths. These same people end up on juries etc… The Bible does not matter to them.

Usually a County Sheriff’s office gives approval for address when called with an address. But if a person is in probation, then these probation overlords have their own criteria. For example, an address was okayed by Sheriff’s office but then when called to PO was okayed as well, and was later informed that there was a small skating ring within the distance limit. Had already given the rent deposit and it was a pain emotionally. These probation people go over the limit to make Registrant’s life miserable, most of them get their daily ego boost that way.

Sandy,

So basically the “freedom” in our country is that we get to take away OTHER PEOPLE’S freedom…? Yup! That’s America for ya! One person cries like a brat and everyone tries to please that person’s desires. Boo-hoo.
The sheriff could have told those who complained that he’s got medical issues and his offense happened so long ago and to basically mind their own business. But noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. That would be too easy and not “P.C.”

I hear you Erika. Yes, in becoming a RSO one steps thru the looking glass. I’m fortunate to have a place to live, a job, a few friends, hobbies….but yeah, nobody understands how humiliating/frightening/unreal this all is unless it happens to them. I was set up in a sex sting and am left with nothing but fear and loathing for this system. Really…am i a monster…? Of course not. This is all just a figment of the imagination.

I try very hard to live a good life and just want to get on with life. Sometimes i pull it off. easy for me to say- i’m not living in a tent. But it COULD happen. All of us are just a few events away from ending up like Jerry.

Sorry for the mistake in who it was addressed to, was not sure who to address it to, I have terrible time remembering people’s names or the structure of numbers (dyscalculia) but I can give a three hour non-stop oral lecture just from memory!

Lol

Have a wonderful holiday!

Thank you, Erika, on Susi’s behalf, but I am not Susi. I am a board member of RSOL and the communications liaison. I do much of the posting on the website and am the editor of the Digest. I am writing Susi and Jerry’s story. This is a situation that cannot and will not be ignored.
