Patch wants to help Lake Forest and Lake Bluff parents keep their kids safe this Halloween.

As your little ones and not-so-little-ones prepare to go door to door for trick-or-treating this Halloween, Patch offers a map of our towns' registered sex offenders.

Generally, sex offender laws center on offenders registering in person each year at the local police department. They must do so for a required 10-year registration period, unless they are separately required to register for life. Offenders are prohibited from living within 500 feet of a school, daycare center, youth center or other facility that caters to children younger than 18 years old.

Sex Offenders in Your Neighborhood

A search of the Illinois Sex Offender Registry shows five registered sex offenders residing in Lake Bluff and one in Lake Forest. The one in Lake Forest is listed as having not provided his exact address.

How the Map Works

The map is interactive, meaning you can zoom in, zoom out, or move it around to see all the plotted points. Clicking on the marker will give you more information.

The term refers to anyone convicted after July 1, 1999 of certain violations in the Criminal Code of 1961. Sexual predators are required to register for their entire lives.

Your map doesn't work as described, and the link to the sex offender site does not work either.

Why is this one sentence "article" considered newsworthy? Pull yourself together.

There are no records to support crimes committed against children on Halloween and therefore no basis for Halloween Laws restricting anyone from the celebrating Halloween. This is simply allot of hype (To publicize or promote, especially by extravagant, inflated, or misleading claims) - Duh - get it?

I raised 4 children. I wasn't overprotective but I kept close watch and close tabs on my kids as best I could. I would keep an eye on a neighbor particularly if the person is a registered sex offender, drug dealer, alcoholic, paranoid schizophrenic, do good neighbor or a cop.
