Privacy rules for some patients have prevented many nursing home operators from disclosing resident sex offenders. Although federal law requires every state to register sex offenders and release their information under circumstances where protection of the public is an issue, individual states differ in terms of who must be notified.
Some states require that churches, neighbors, schools be notified whenever a sex offender moves to the area, but few require providing notice when they are admitted into a nursing home. This may be surprising to some of you, but the problem is so pervasive that several states have passed laws relating to long-term care homes in recent years.

When it deals with the protection and safety of others, there should be some sort of disclosure policy favoring the innocent.
Why there isn't or wasn't, boggles the mind.

By the way Flavia, how is the election season going for you? I am sure you are real busy.
I work for DHS with the US Border Patrol and we have been providing assistance and security during the aftermath of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, so I haven't kept up on your appearances.
Sincerely,
TheBoss

Dont use that word "pundit" to describe yourself
lol. When i hear that word I think of Geirge Will. He makes me sick with his double standard racist garbage. Maybe the term "Congenial Political Educated
Philantropist" would fit you.
Well i saw the debate yesterday and i dunno if you picked this up, cuz i didnt
hear anyone else mention it, but McCain has alot of cojones to accuse Obama of
"planning an attack on Pakistan" when all he did was answer a question from the audience; but 2 weeks ago Palin did the same exact thing in a conference when asked about Pakistan, and what did McCain do? He called it "MEDIA MAGIC"! THAT MOTHER ......LOL.
I HOPE OBAMA MENTIONS THAT IN HIS NEXT AND FINAL DEBATE JUST TO SHOW HOW
TWO-FACED AND UNPROFESSIONAL HE IS. I think its important the people know how two-faced he is and definitely unprofessional.
And if you have a better way of making a point with this, go for it hun. I'm sick of this bull.
Well i hope all goes well, and refrain from the word PUNDIT ok? ;-).
AND I TAKE IT YOU MIGHT BE ROOTIN FOR THE PHILLIES?
