As a follow-up to this previous post (and others) concerning the warped sense of priorities this state when it comes to dealing with its convicted child rapist population, we get this piece from today's Boston Herald:

While the state scrambles to track dangerous sex fiends, at least two state agencies are housing perverts in residential neighborhoods, sparking outrage in two towns and calls to stop the unregulated practice.

Yes, some people in this state continue to believe it's more important to protect the rights of convicted sex offenders, and provide them with government-subsidized housing than it is to keep the children in these communities safe from these dangerous individuals.

"I feel that it's problematic that there's absolutely no notification or policy that would prohibit placing group homes with Level 2 or 3 offenders in residential neighborhoods with kids," said Sen. Scott P. Brown (R-Wrentham).

"Problematic"? Well, that's putting a gentle spin on it, Senator.

(DMR spokeswoman Donna) Rheaume said the agency avoids "saturating" any one neighborhood with sex offenders.

Well, isn't that just ducky.
