Banned from Beaches, Pools, Parks

winknews.com (Florida) : New sex offender ordinance.

Fort Myers, Fla. - A new Lee County ordinance may place tougher restrictions on where sex offenders are allowed to go. In a 5-0 vote Tuesday night, Lee County Commissioners supported the ordinance which broadens the definition of "child safety zones."

Those areas include beaches, playgrounds, public swimming pools, amusement parks like Sun Splash in Cape Coral and any location that could be considered a customary gathering place for children.

A draft of the ordinance is up for review at the state level. Lee County leaders say it could be approved within the next two weeks.

This is unbelievable; banishing citizens from beaches, swimming pools and amusement parks ! What nation is this !?
