Sex offenders are generally people known to the victim.
The people who live here know and report the things happening here. We do not live in an inferior information gathering climate. We have the same level of information about this area as any other area in the U.S.
I do not think that summaries can be made by people who do not live here.
EVERYONE should pay careful attention to children at all times. Unfortunately, blood relatives too often commit sex offenses.
This place is as safe as any place in the U.S. I think it is safer than most.
If you will look at my previous post on this thread I have posted a good link to "MYTHS ABOUT SEX OFFENDERS.".

Really ??
Do you really think we are informed of neighborhood crime by our "Look on the Sunny Side" newspaper published in The Villages?
I have to depend on news released in Ocala, Fruitland Park & Leesburg to be truly informed & aware of important crime reports as well as get balanced political news .....
Now if I want to read about "TV Sorority" ..... Well, you get the idea!
I came to The Vilages as an educated, well read person looking forward to a happy, fun filled retirement....I did not leave my intellect back in Illinois with my winter coats just to listen to (or read) fairy tales & play with sex offenders!
