TOTV will not allow links to the "other" online news.
Also you do not have to be 55 to live in TV. You can not have anyone under 18 living with you (they can be a 30 day guest). Also no such rule as one person has to be 55 or older. There is some law that allows up to 20% under 55 in a 55 yr old retirement community in Florida.

1. There are probably more sex offenders - registered and otherwise - living wherever your grandchildren live than there are living in the Villages.

2. The sex offender in question was convicted of having sex with a minor while he was in his 20's. While it should have been a big deal to the minor and her parents - it isn't really a big deal to whatever community he lives in. Especially if he's living in a 55+ community where people under the age of 19 aren't even allowed to live in it.

3. If your grandchildren are living with you, then you might want to consider moving somewhere other than a 55+ community where most of your grandkids' friends will be old men.

You should be much more concerned with family members (or close friends of family members)...sexually abusing your grandchildren.

Not the person down the street.

Most Sex Offenders Against Children Are Family Members | Psychology Today (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-justice-and-responsibility-league/201305/most-sex-offenders-against-children-are-family)

Most of the perpetrators of child abuse (neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse) were family members. For example, 80.8% of (instance-based count, rather than person-based) perpetrators were parents, 5.9 percent were relatives other than parents, and 4.4 percent were unmarried partners of parents.

The regulation quote you provided is correct but many people have mistakenly thought this regulation meant that we have to allow up to 20% under age to live here. That is incorrect.
The law does NOT state that we must allow 20% under age to live here. The law states that we cannot have over 20% under age and still be considered a retirement community. We could have NO one under 55 here. Many retirement communities right around us do not allow anyone under 55 to live there.
The developer has decided to allow the under age and felons to live here. I have never seen The Villages disclose the number or the ratio of under age 55 persons living here.

[J1ceasar]

And actually the federal law is set up to protect the communities from discrimination lawsuits of those that are 55 and under. It allows Senior Communities do not have under 18 children and their communities. But as a rule most Senior Communities except you if you're under 55 has one partner typically is 5 years older or so and is retired. In fact many people who come down Central Florida still work where were semi-retired

[Holpat39]

The Village has no control of anyone living here under 55 if the home is a resale and The Village did not handle the sale. My kids bought here when they were in their late 40's and rented out their home, using it occasionally until they were 55. Now no longer a rental and they bought in 2005 when the price was right.

TV is "age restricted" not "55+". 20% are allowed to be younger than 40.

I'm 53, moved in last July when I was 52. I had to get a waiver to buy my home. They asked me if I had children under the age of 18 and where they lived. I have 2 adult boys. Both in the military. As a result, I was granted a waiver.
I'm surprised someone much younger than 55 would get such a waiver. I thought you had to be very close to 55.

I know one community in Ocala that weather you by new or used home you have to be approved by a committee, also its a real gated 55+ community. :welcome:

Never mind 42 year old. What about grandchildren that granny has custody of.

10% of population can be under 50

Likely a renter. house is owned by someone in Connecticut.

[Joe C.]

Ever notice how many "under 55" villagers make the news?
Criminals, drug addicts, assaulters, burglars, car and golf cart thieves...…
Not that all the over 55 crowd are angels, but
Just 'sayin...….

It is in deed restrictions that 1 person purchasing the home needs to be 55 or older. No one under 18 is supposed to be a full time resident, however we all know there is a young child living with his grandfather on historic side (he now has custody of this child after long battle with his daughter who no longer lives there). And yes the 20% rule does apply here, so that may be how this 42 yr old “lives here”.

First of all, you are assuming that is still a sex offender that he could not have learned by his mistake. Secondly it is up to the parents and grand parents to watch over their children. You are obviously a concerned grand parent so I am sure your grand kids will be safe. :pray::pray::pray::pray:

Surprising, you signed a waiver. I know several people who are less than 50, who bought new and used houses, there is no control over used houses. For rentals, there is no control. We also have families living in our neighborhood. The school bus stops at the gate to pick them up. I have met younger nurses who bought in Fenney to be close to work. I could go on but you get the idea.
Not true of % or rules.

... The developer has decided to allow the under age and felons to live here. I have never seen The Villages disclose the number or the ratio of under age 55 persons living here.

Are you thinking that "The Developer" can somehow prevent someone who has been convicted of a felon from living here?

The community is required to report the numbers to the proper authority in order to maintain th 55+ designation. I'm not sure if they are required to publish the numbers to the public.

[newgirl]

First, you don't know what he was charged with. A man can be on this site for peeing standing beside his car at 2 am or raping someone...second, he has every right to live here just as you do. Third, go to the sheriffs site and I bet you have hundreds withing a 10 mile radius which again is because of #1..Sex offenders list can be he was 18, she was 17&3/4 but her parents hated him and pressed charges even though she was willing and they were months apart in age etc..so before you go judging anyone 1 find out the facts, and 2 make sure you are pure as snow. I agree that a child rapist, porn etc is beyond horrific and think they should put them away in a mental institution forever at best but I am 100 percent that judging before speaking to the person you are judging is just as bad, you need to know the facts.

[Marathon Man]

This is not correct.

[ts12755]

The Villages is loaded with sex offenders because children are not allowed to live here.

[Curtisbwp]

Ine near my house lives with mom and dad. Police check once a month.

[croughwell]

I guess we should.buy them an island.

[John_W]

Put in your address and the radius up to 5 miles and you can see the sex offenders. In the area of TV I live there is only 2 within 5 miles, now if you go to Wildwood it's saturated.

Anyone over the age of 19 may buy a home here in TV. This is NOT a true retirement community. It is a federal law that they must allow 10% of the population buy here over that age. You don't see the Developer advertising only 55 and older. It is advertised as an "Active Senior Living Community." A person pass will follow them here too. Nothing you can do about it. If they murdered someone they can live here too.

The bus in Fenney is crossing over to a regular neighborhood , not owned by villages , it’s a public street and I’m sure all those younger nurses are telling you there right age lol

[PennBF]

Every time I read the question as to the ratio of residents age 55 vs under 55 I believe it is so naive to believe these number exist. Do you actually believe there is someone working for the Developer who counts these age restrictions. If you do I have a bridge in Brooklyn I am willing to sell to you. Do you believe there is someone on the Developer's staff that says, "Whoa, stop we can't sell that house to this couple as they are 49 yr's old and it may exceed our 55 age restrictions." If you do, remember my bridge for sale!!!:ho:

The person that is the reason for this thread was oddly sitting on a bench on Southern Star executive golf course yesterday when I played the course and asked me if he could use my phone. Really odd. I said no. He then asked me if I would dial a number for him and he would just talk into it as I held it. Again, pretty odd.

[edmck101]

Great response, thanks.

I find it amazing how many people move here and don't do their homework before hand. Yea we have sex offenders, drug addicts, drug sales people just like the rest of the world. You can rent your home, be a snowbird or live here full time it's up to you. There are rules most people follow many don't. You can have visitors you should make sure they know the rules. As for your younger ones visiting they shouldn't be roaming freely period and as others have said their are offenders living wherever they live normally. Been here just shy of 11 years met people on TOTV before moving here and talked to many both when we visited and did our lifestyle. No place is perfect but for us this place is pretty darn close.
