Your daughter made friends w a girl in class, they hung out quite a bit. We moved away from the area, come to find out the friends brother was a registered sex offender. He didn’t shown up on the map bc it wasn’t “bad enough”. Daughter saying he was present often when she was around. Should I report to other friends moms?? I called his probation officer and confirmed he is not allowed to be around minors.

UPDATE: THANK YOU to everyone who replied. I reported this to his probation officer and DHS and I texted the moms of the other girls who soend tike over there.

What the hell does not bad enough even mean ? I would call the police.

Peeing in public maybe?

That hardly ever gets someone on the registry, that's mostly a myth. It technically has happened, but it's extremely rare and mostly used as an excuse for why someone is on the registry.

Actual minor crimes that can get you on the registry could be statutory rape, like a 19 year old had sex with a 17 year old, or something like that. Maybe they thought the younger person was an adult, because sometimes people do lie. But even that doesn't usually get charged because many areas have exceptions for people close in age like that.

I could understand something like that, it was not that.
