To the editor:

I’m responding to the article of Tuesday, Nov. 1, concerning sex offenders. As a rural resident I am wondering where these sex offenders are going to live? Why should our areas be considered safe places for them to live? We may no longer have many schools in the rural area, but there are some day-care centers.

I no longer have young children in my home, but I have neighbors who do. I can assure you that we are as concerned about their welfare as city residents are. What makes one think that a sex offender will only bother children living in town?

So, as laws are being considered about where sex offenders should live, please remember as taxpayers we are all concerned about our rights and our children.
