FL - Village for sex offenders in Florida

[SilkySifaka]

Well its not an island but at least we know where 100 are and they are away from schools etc.

With its manicured lawns, tropical foliage and neat bungalows, this idyllic setting on the edge of the Florida everglades would make for an ideal retirement community.

Miracle Village, however, is home to more than 100 registered sex offenders - half of its population - who have abused minors, viewed child or even molested their own children.

Among them are a teacher, a pastor and a sports coach.

lol at the Daily Mail describing it as "manicured lawns.... idyllic setting".

IMO, there's a couple things missing from this sex offender village: barbed wire fences and armed guard towers.

That's the "idyllic setting" I support for these pervs.

LOL comments under the article are interesting.

Children are living in this "village." Non offenders are also living in this village.

Article from 2010. Heavy on the sympathy ("I didn't know she was only 12") Minister had a close call himself. Minister and his wife claim they had been abused as children.
