I recently came across an interesting fact. In an area of Pensacola, called Bellevue, there are
seventy-nine registered sex offenders. Bellevue is just one small community.

There are six schools in the area called Bellevue. One of the schools, Bellevue Middle School, has sex offenders living within two blocks of the school. Nineteen sex offenders live with a mile of the school. Fifty-three sex offenders live within two miles of the school. Here are some more facts, directly from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement

Florida law says sex offenders cannot live within a certain distance from schools. Yet,
the parole officers are allowing this to occur.

The parole system in Florida is run by a private company. None of the parole officers
need to be social workers, and very few, if any, are. I sincerely hope most of the parole
officers do care about their charges. Apparently some do not care about the community.
They certainly do not care about the children in that community.

I am not a large fan of the parole system in Florida being run by private companies. The companies are only interested in collecting money from the parolees. Before it became privatized, the parole system in Florida use to try and help parolees rejoin society. Now, in the cases I have heard, the lesser the crime, the harsher the judgement.
