Md. sex offenders told to post 'no candy' signs, turn off lights on
Halloween
Signs that say "No Candy at This Residence" will be posted on Halloween
outside the homes of more than 2,000 registered sex offenders in
Maryland, according to the Associated Press.
Elizabeth Bartholomew, a spokeswoman for the state parole office, tells
USA TODAY that the offenders received a letter last month that outlines
what is expected of them around the Oct. 31 holiday. In addition to
posting a sign, offenders who are still under supervision must avoid all
Halloween-related contact with children.
"They'll be home, their lights will be off, no candy signs will be
posted," she says of those who are still on parole or probation.
Maryland has more than 4,700 registered sex offenders, but Bartholomew
says the state has no control over the activities of the 2,000 or so who
completed their sentence and registered with police. Those who are still
monitored by the government must be home by 6 p.m. and are required to
turn off outside lights and ignore any knocks on the door, according to
the letter, which was provided to On Deadline. (Read it here.)
Anyone who removes the signs can be charged with parole violation,
according to The Examiner.

HAHAHAHA. More child molester paranoia while the drunk drivers and
speeders who are a hundred times bigger threat to kids are ignored. Get
the convicted DUIs off the streets on Halloween - now that would save the
kiddies.
