Sierra Penrose, a Confused Karen from Watertown NY, wants the state to pass residency restriction laws so she can FEEL safe

This is Karen Pinhead... I mean Sierra Penrose, and she wants the state of NY to reinstate residency restrictions so she can FEEL safe. It has long been proven that residency restriction laws don't work. They do not increase public safety. But she wants to FEEL safe and that is supposed to override the facts.

Concerned Watertown mom wants s** o** rules updated

By Craig Fox Watertown Daily Times 14 hrs ago 

WATERTOWN — A mother of a 4-year-old boy had no idea that a *** ... was living next to her and across the street from a home day care business.

The young mother, Sierra Penrose, is now working on reviving a state Senate bill that would prohibit ***s from living near such daycares.

The bill, which was first proposed a decade ago, hasn’t gained traction, even though it’s been reintroduced several times.

The proposed legislation would be similar to a state law that prohibits ***s from living within 1,000 feet of a school.

Penrose spoke during Monday night’s City Council meeting about how she was not notified that the Level 3 *** was living next to her McClelland Street home...

Penrose, who bought her house about a year ago, also told council members that the operator of the day care also was not notified that he was living in the neighborhood.

“A violent s*** o*** with a track record of abusing children is allowed to move freely within the city and move in next door to whoever he pleases,” she said.

She just happened to look at the state’s *** when she found out that he had moved into the house next door six months ago...

“I just want to protect my children,” she said.

Also a mother of a 1-year-old girl, Penrose was so upset that she was not notified that she went door-to-door to find out if her neighbors knew about it. None of the seven did.

While canvasing her neighborhood, she talked to Patti Pfister, who owns a state-licensed home day care across the street. Pfister knew nothing about the ***.

Pfister, who has operated her day care since 1996, is concerned about the six children under her care. Both Pfister and Penrose called the Watertown Police Department to see what can be done about the ***, who as a Level 3 *** must be on the state *** for the rest of his life.

“It’s very scary,” she said.

Nothing can be done, they said. The *** is listed on the state *** as having served a four-year sentenced and is no longer on probation.

The police department is not responsible for notifying people that a *** has moved into their neighborhood...

On Monday, City Council members sympathized with Penrose but told her that there’s nothing that the city can do about the situation.

Councilwoman Lisa A. Ruggiero advised Penrose that the Watertown Neighborhood Watch group shares the names and addresses of sex offenders listed on the state’s registry. Penrose is joining Neighborhood Watch, she said...

Penrose said she just wants to feel that her two children are safe.
