One such incident occurred in Detroit after the community had been
notified of a sex offender's current residence. Neighbors of the
suspected child molester, who had been convicted of gross indecency,
flooded his apartment and posted signs such as "School Kids
Watch Out" and "Child Molester Lives Here." In the
end, the man was forced to move in order to avoid future persecution.
Another similar case is that of Joseph Gallardo, a released child
molester. Gallardo had his house torched by vigilante-minded citizens
who felt it was their duty to tell the ex-convict he was not wanted.
Unfortunately, law enforcement officials are not very sympathetic
to a sex offender's claim of harassment or violence. With this adverse
treatment by authorities and community, an offender who has done
his time in prison may never be able to readjust to a normal life.
