As parents in Oxford, FL, we are aware of the presence of a registered child sex offender in our community. Our neighborhood has rented a house to this individual.  This is not just about our neighborhood; it's about every community where children should be able to grow and play safely.

Child pornography is an abhorrent crime that often escalates into physical abuse. According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, there were over 16 million reports of child sexual exploitation in 2019 alone. The presence of a convicted offender increases the risk for our children and creates an environment of fear and anxiety.  Studies have shown value of property declines ranging from around 4% to 12%.

We need to speak up as parents/community members, and bring attention on how this is affecting our community.  

We urge you all - residents of Oxford, FL - to join us to ensure that we prioritize the value, safety and well-being of our kids and community above all else! Please sign this petition today to gather a meeting.
