Westchester County probation officials are trying to keep registered sex offenders off the streets while little boys and girls are out looking for free treats on Halloween night.
About 45 registered sex offenders who live in the county will be invited to attend a four-hour evening educational program Oct. 31 at White Plains probation offices, County Executive Andrew Spano announced Tuesday.
The sex offenders will participate in a program on alcohol abuse and see videos on victim empathy. Those who don't show up will be visited at their homes by police and probation officers.
I think this should have been done a long time ago. Bravo.
