Save Putnam's Kids from Sex Offenders

Putnam County owes it to the community to enforce the child safety zones it established and ban registered sex offenders from certain areas of town before an incident occurs and a child is forever injured.

Schools, child care centers, parks, playgrounds and town beaches should be off-limits to registered sex offenders under the ordinance established by the Board.

In late 2007, Putnam County established one of the most strict ordinances in the state, which is now a model being  adopted by a few other communities.

We take chances no more. The County should immediately post and enforce the child safety zones by banning registered sex offenders from certain areas of town.

The immediate safety of our communities children should be of paramount importance to the members of the Board of Legislators and we ask that you move on this with all due haste before something terrible happens to one of our own.
