About 1,200 sex offenders across South Carolina will face a curfew again this year during prime trick-or-treating hours. But sex offenders who are no longer on probation or parole are free to hand out candy to your children.
Most counties, require Sex Offenders to stay in their homes with no outdoor lights on. They can't pass out candy, go into the street or go to any Halloween parties or carnivals.About 1,200 Sex Offenders across South Carolina will face a Curfew again this year during prime trick-or-treating hours.
Sex Offenders on probation, parole or other forms of supervision face a 5:30 to 9 p.m. curfew on Halloween.
Eleven Counties, including Anderson, Laurens and Cherokee Counties, require those supervised sex offenders to report to a central location.
In other Counties, agents will go to the offenders’ houses and call their land lines to make sure they're home.
But this curfew doesn't apply to all sex offenders.
Sex offenders who are no longer on probation or parole are free to hand out candy to your children.
"I don't think that should be allowed. Especially if they have been a sex offender, I feel like they're always going to be one and they need to never have any type of contact with any children,”
Nearly 10 years now this curfew has been in place.
