Juvenile Sex Offenders,Legislation,Maryland

Now, with the new legislation passed, school systems must provide alternative means of education.

Certain juveniles sex offenders will no longer be allowed to attend Maryland public schools in person. Legislation that just passed in Annapolis aims to make school safer following an alarming Fox45 News investigation.

Project Baltimore spoke to the mothers of both victims, who we agreed not to identify. At the time, they were outraged that a juvenile sex offender was legally allowed to attend a public school with other students. Now, with the new legislation passed, school systems must provide alternative means of education, such as virtual learning, for registered adult and juvenile sex offenders.

When the juvenile reform law passed, it garnered a lot of public reaction, but not from the two mothers. Project Baltimore was unable to speak with them because both have been placed under an order controlling conduct, essentially a gag order. If they speak with Project Baltimore about the case, the court could impose penalties. But it’s because of these mothers coming forward in January, that the law was passed in April.
