Sex Offender Registry
I love being a Villager and am thrilled to finally be here. I have, however, never been one who thought the "real world" stops at the TV borders.
I have moved many times in my life and in recent years have gotten into the habit of checking the web to see if any registered sex offenders live in my neighborhood. Today, I entered the address of our new home in TV into the Fl Sex Offender Registry and was shocked to see there are 60 registered sex offenders living within a 5 mi radius of our home. Yes, many live outside of TV in neighboring communities but a disturbing number are listed as Village residents.
Am I suddenly afraid or unhappy we are here? Absolutely not! For me, it is simply a good reminder that while TV is a wonderful place to live and overall is much safer than many communities, some of the ugliness of the "real world" is also here.
