when I read this article on Facebook, I was devastated because of my childhood history and the thought that I could have lived next door to something that would bring back memories of what I went thru every day, for the rest of my life.
this just adds one more thing to my list to check before buying a home.
I realize there are predators , 26 in that one Villages zip code.....but they didn't hit as close to home as this one did.

I am so sorry you had to deal with such evil as a child. Something no one should ever experience. I will pray that you find some level of peace over time.
I consider myself a Christian, which means I’m supposed to forgive. But when it comes to those that hurt children, I can’t. Yes TV has many RSOs. Just on one website it shows << 59 Mapped Offenders, 11 Un-Mapped Offenders>> and that’s only the people that actually have “The Villages” in their address. If you extend out to 32159-32163 you see far more listed, numbers rise into the hundreds.
You are smart for checking the database pre-purchase. I do the same. However, I don’t know where I would draw the line. Next door, no way. One block away, probably not. Two blocks away, I don’t know.
As a civilized society we don’t seek retribution but me MUST be vigilant.
