Sexual Predators in SoWal

Did you know that there are at least 10 convicted sexual predators and offenders living in Santa Rosa Beach? And according to the flier that was just posted on my door, there's a brand new one moving to town.

Their crimes read like your worst nightmares: "Lewd or lascivious conduct with a victim under 16 years old; Involuntary deviant sexual intercourse (rape); Sexual Battery on a child under 12 by an adult," and so on.

What are we doing--or NOT doing--that is making our community so inviting to these scumbags? What can we do as concerned citizens to discourage them from settling here, if anything? Remember, even if you don't live right next door to one of these guys, they frequent the very same grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, parks and beaches as you and your children. And they drive past our schools and bus stops every day.

At the very least, I suggest that everyone visit this website to learn more about these thugs. Teach your kids to be alert!
