shinyhappy68 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 What are the rights of parents, when an alleged sex offender has been moved onto your street? No criminal charges have been brought as far as I'm aware, but enough information to be worried . Should they have been made aware? Or live in ignorance that this person mixing with their kids out playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZZFAYE Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 if you are concerned you have a right to ask the police under saras law and they will tell you if a claim has been made or not, but you are not then allowed to tell your neighbours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fake Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 If parents are that worried then they should keep their kids indoors, wrap them in cotton wool under lock and key. At least that way they would be perfectly safe from strangers and it also has the added advantage of them not annoying others by making a noise outside. There are some weird people about but it seems that its mainly parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willman Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I've got an alleged sex offender lives near me. The key point is ALLEGED, doesn't mean he's done anything. More importantly being a sex offender doesn't mean kids are at risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiglet Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 if you are concerned you have a right to ask the police under saras law and they will tell you if a claim has been made or not, but you are not then allowed to tell your neighbours Sarah's law quite rightly only applies to those on the sex offender's register. If someone is only an alleged offender they haven't been convicted of any crime and won't be on the register. There isn't a way of finding out if someone merely has accusations against them.

Ok thanks, looks like being vigilant is all they can do then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
