Calling All Politicians and Political Hopefuls... NYS Sex Offender Registry... 12401... Check it Out... Child Safety Issue...

Out of respect for the legal boundaries surrounding this issue, let me simply suggest that parents, grandparents, custodians, teachers, political representatives, political hopefuls and other folks that care about the welfare of our children check out the NYS Sex Offender Registry.

I checked out the 12401 zip code... and counted (just in the 12401 zip code area) over 40 - and maybe closer to 55 - most of whom have apparently been arrested for assaulting (in some form) young girls - although at least a couple have apparently victimized young boys - and a few are convicted (adult victims) rapists.

This seems to me like an awful lot of sex offenders (many of whom are level 2 or level 3) for a small City like Kingston...

And some have apparently (I'm low on printer ink so I couldn't print out, check and double check numbers and such) been shipped in from other areas...

Is anybody out there paying attention to this? Or just getting PAID to load us up in such a manner??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

If these offenders are being shipped to the Kingston City Jail - and then (upon release) being put in local shelters, rooming houses, etc. --- just how safe are our children and grandchildren?

Is this yet another reason to move out of Kingston?
