Re: Registered sex offender
It depends on the state. Obviously this person is able to visit his own family but to have no reason may raise eyes.
First realize that peditory sexual assault is actually rare. Usually the person who is assaulted is assaulted by someone they know and know well.
Secondly, if someone is visiting who should not be visiting, a call to your state's Child and Family Protection Agency will bring an investigation. You can also of course check with the people who run the home.
Good Luck.
