You wouldn’t know it from the media coverage, but Milwaukee is considering a Franklin style Sex offender restriction ordinance. Thanks to Kevin Fisher, we have a few details.

UPDATE: Milwaukee, sex offender ordinance

 We need to keep on our city officials, let them know that we NEED this to protect our kids.

I think it's a good idea.

Sex offenders are experts in luring our kids. The farther away from our kids we keep them, the better off all of us will be.

Let's send a clear message to our government and to sex offenders.

These offenders are going to find a way to fill their fantasies. I am afraid that if we make life so difficult for them that we will make things worse for some poor child down the road.
What if the offender feels he has no choice but to do away with the only witness to keep his identity a secret?
I am a father of 2 daughters and I wonder all the time if it's better to have a live daughter who was abused or a dead one.
I feel that castration in some form would be a better option. This would all but eliminate their need for sex.

i agree that kids need to be safe from sexual predators. they should do what they did in green bay. keep the sexual predators at least 2000 feet away from where children play(example like churches, schools and parks) you never know what is going to happen to them until it is too late.

Sexual predaters should be ' Snipped '!! If you prey on children, you should be put away for life, period! If it were up to me, I'd put them all in Micheal Jackson's Neverland ranch, seal the gates, and air drop food once a week. Seriously this a travesty. They do their time,and the state places them in a home????? I obey the laws, moral and civil. Will the state buy me a home? Provide me food and shelter? No they keep coming up with new ways to tax us. I've heard that inmates can get sex change operations and the state pays for it. Correction, we pay for it!

I don't think there's any substance to the notion that inmates can get sex change operations in prison. Sexual reassignment surgery requires many preliminary steps before the actual reconstruction is done, one of the first of which is to take hormones and live as a woman for a year. That would be hard to do in a men's prison. I've heard that basic medical care is hard enough to obtain in prison, let alone anything complicated and elective. Don't worry about your tax money. It's being used to keep guys who were caught with two ounces of grass locked up.

Castration does not work. Just check with your nearest sexual predator. They will tell you the sex urge is still there long after their Johnson may have shrivelled up and fallen off.

And let me interject the problem of the female sex offender. What do we propose to cut off there?

Sexual urge is a primary BRAIN function that the body follows. We would have to "snip" the brain. That would work - but quite complicated at best.

No child wants to be abused - and living with the memories of abuse is usually worse than being dead.

I would not want to set up a child of mine for potential abuse of any kind.

Where do you all propose we "put" them? Has "Gilligan's Island" become available? I think if would be much better to have them scattered and watched than group them all together so they can collaborate better. Also, do you think that there should be more than one category level? There is a difference between a predator and an offender. I also agreed with the Fox 6 story recently about a registry for violent offenders of other crimes also, like murder and domestic violence... how comfortable would you be with a convicted murderer living downstairs or next door? Let's be real, as parents we also bear a burden to provide some supervision for our kids too, it isn't all about letting them outside and assuming they will be safe no matter what neighborhood you live in. Things happen everywhere.

These people have done there time and fighting them is only going to stagnate their rehabilitation.

Yeah right, whatever AJSB! The little time they do is hardly compensatory to the crimes they've committed upon their victims. And, the majority of offenders can't be rehabilitated.

More than half the states offenders are placed in Milwaukee once they're released from doing their time. How would you like your kids subject to being neighbors to these individuals? Do you happen to know the recividism rate amongst sex offenders?

The Bureau of Justice information is a bit outdated; however the latest summary findings in 1994 were: Of released sex offenders who allegedly committed another sex crime, 40% perpetrated the new offense within a year or less from their prison discharge.
