Mr Hansen<br><br>Accountability can be a tough thing to find, and I agree with you that eight days is totally irresponsible. Registration prior to release seems such a no-brainer. Sigh . . .<br><br>Sorry I didn't do well with your sarcasm - I understand your frustration, and those at P&P have the same level of frustration, if not more. There are only two full time probation and parole officers in the Moscow district sharing in the neighborhood of 60+ probationer / parolees. Many of them are required to check in weekly, if not daily, and all check in (personal face-to-face check in's) every month. Given the budget, time, legislature etc there is only so much they can do. I guess the best the public can do is to review the sex offender postings with their kids on a monthly basis so they can see their faces and know where they live.

<br>simply demanding accountability.<br><br>The eight-day requirement seems absolutely irresponsible. I would want ALL<br>sex offenders registered PRIOR to release. This way, if for some<br>bureaucratic red-tape reason the sex offender's registration is delayed, at
<br>least we will know where (s)he is.<br><br>Until that discrepency is corrected, we will have to live with this<br>eight-day "window". Sitler's eight days (according to my calendar) expires<br>on Saturday (unless for another irresponsible reason the Registry takes
<br>weekends off).<br><br>My reference to "when bars close" was basic sarcasm, intended to draw<br>attention to the level of supervision being maintained by those in<br>authority, nothing else.<br><br>Concerning your implication that I am restricting my attention to members of
<br>Christ Church, isn't that a bit insignificant when the subject of our<br>concerns is a Level 3 sex offender.<br><br>Although this email is offlist, I will post it to V2020 this afternoon.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Tom Hansen

<br>>Date: Wed, 9 May 2007 13:04:54 -0700<br>><br>>Tom et al.<br>><br>>I wasn't offering any excuses - I intended to state only what I did or did<br>>not know. Here is the information I have from Idaho code Title 18-8307
<br>>Registration:<br>><br>>The written notification shall be a form provided by the department<br>>and approved by the attorney general and shall be signed by the defendant.<br>>The<br>>court shall retain one (1) copy, provide one (1) copy to the offender, and
<br>>submit one (1) copy to the central registry within three (3) working days<br>>of<br>><br>>release.<br>><br>>(c) Within five (5) days of the mailing date of the notice, the offender<br>> shall appear in person at the office of the sheriff with jurisdiction
<br>>for<br>> the purpose of completing the registration process;<br>><br>>So I guess Mr Sitler has 8 days to comply - don't know how weekends fit<br>>into<br>>that scheduling.<br>><br>>As far as other concerns:
<br>><br>>"1) Does Sitler's employment entail customer service/interaction?"<br>><br>>I don't know. P&P would.<br>><br>>"2) Does Sitler's employment place him within proximity of children?"
<br>><br>>I don't know. Since his employer knows of his offense and has been<br>>contacted by P&P, one would hope this would be monitored. There may be<br>>strict limits on what distance "proximity" is, and any violation of this
<br>>would be a violation of his probation. This could result in the judge<br>>imposing the original sentence (life in prison).<br>><br>>"3) Is Sitler's employment (in any way, shape, form, or fashion)
<br>>affiliated<br>>with child day care?"<br>><br>>Highly unlikely: it is a felony as provided in section 18-8327, Idaho Code,<br>>for an offender to accept employment in any day care center, group day care
<br>>facility or family day care home, as those terms are defined in chapter 11,<br>>title 39, Idaho Code, or to be upon or to remain on the premises<br>>of a day care center, group day care facility or family day care home while
<br>>children are present, other than to drop off or pick up the offender's<br>>child or children.<br>><br>>"Is this supervision being maintained 24/7 or only until the bars close?"<br>><br>>I'm not sure what the "until the bars close" comment is meant to convey.
<br>>Are you asking if P&P officers are on the clock until the bars close? Are<br>>you asking if it is "safe" outside until the bars close and Mr Sitler<br>>leaves<br>>one? I don't know all the details of Mr Sitler's probation, but going to a
<br>>bar is most assuredly NOT an option for him. If the tomandrodna site is<br>>yours, you might check your own posting on Mr Sitler's crime and read the<br>>probation documents.<br>><br>>As part of his probation, Mr Sitler will be required to take polygraph
<br>>tests<br>>as part of his treatment program, and quite possible for the duration of<br>>his<br>>probation. A "distressed" polygraph will result in an investigation by P&P<br>>which could lead to a probation violation and and imposing of the original
<br>>sentence.<br>><br>>I think we are all concerned. I think we all need to ask questions, and<br>>get<br>>as many answers as possible. I think we need to be concerned about 1) ALL<br>>the predatory sex offenders in our community and not 2) only those
<br>>affiliated with Christ Church. One strikes of caution and concern; the<br>>other of persecution.<br>><br>>Schwaller<br>><br>>"Be concerned. Be very concerned"<br>> (with more apologies to Veronica Quaife)
