bubka – I will hope you are joking. YES, they should be branded with a hot iron because all research shows that they don’t successfully rehabilitate. So much so that they are the ONLY ones that are legally excluded from section 8 group housing in some states. Where should they live? I don’t care, let them drop dead or live in a cave. And yes, they should be in a neighborhood where they are watched. They should be monitored, not protected. But the ‘wonderful’ people who have them over for shabbos meals often forget to make CERTAIN that there are no children at the table as well. And then, sometimes, those children are approached by the predators who introduce themselves as friends who shared a shabbos table. Do you want that on your head?
