The Doctor, Part 1

Continued from page 1

Published on January 25, 2007

"Part of the irresponsible behavior on this issue is not to make a distinction between sex offenders and sexual predators," says Howard Simon, director of the ACLU of Florida. "Predators do require close scrutiny. But these new laws are the result of political grandstanding ... and they affect many people who are no threat to the community."

Subject(s):

Child sex offender

Like Simon, I'm not willing to buy into the hysteria. I'll wait to see what comes of the claims against my neighbor, who will both turn 46 and be arraigned in the next few days. I'll also watch my kids carefully. To me, only living in fear is dangerous.
