Village Board Got It Right...

Sexual offenders will be limited to fewer areas of Germantown as the result of action taken last evening.

And, only sex offenders who were previously residents of Germantown will be permitted to be placed here upon their release.

That is more like it should be, although there is certainly the potential for a court challenge as we go forward. Other communities in Wisconsin have enacted or are actively considering such actions.

With our weak-kneed laws concerning sexual offenders, this is a step in the right direction. The idea that those classified as repeat offenders can be given such easy access to our children is foreign to what any right-minded citizen would advocate. And, the idea that such people can be placed anywhere, not just where they lived, is equally as distressing.

Remember that the new sexual offender locator system is available here on the Germantown Now website.
