Vigilante Barbara never stops! She's been harassing ex-offenders for years now. So when are the police going to arrest her? I think she's doing this for publicity myself, for her "child abuse" business. She saw the money that could be made from people exploiting their child's death, like John Walsh, Mark Lunsford, etc.

SORRENTO - A Tampa woman is planning to open a village within a Lake County town that would house sex offenders and predators--perhaps hundreds or thousands of them.
Barbara Farris (Videos of Her) said the town of Sorrento is a great place to re-locate registered offenders because of its distance from the hustle and bustle of places like Orlando.
- Did you tell the folks in Sorrento about your plan?
"[It's] far enough from civilization from where they're not around parks and kids," Farris said. "They're not going to be surrounded or have temptations."
Farris recently started a company called SOS, which is short for Sex Offender Solutions. It provides registered offenders with housing, transportation, jobs and counseling.
- Oh, now she is stealing the name of SOSEN (Sex Offender Solutions and Education Network). I wonder if SOSEN can sue her for copyright issues? I guess the "Bee Aware" and her "reality show" didn't work out?
When asked if the idea of a town for sex offenders could actually happen, Farris said she thinks it could.
"It's absolutely realistic," Farris said. "We've joined on with some people making it very realistic for us."
But many people in Sorrento didn’t agree.
Gregg Welstead, Director of the Lake County Conservation and Compliance Department, said the county does not have any specific rules related to this.
But the county relies on and follows the guidelines set in state statute with regard to distances that sex offenders can live from schools, parks and playgrounds, he said in a statement.
He also said there could be zoning issues or density considerations that might require a public hearing.
Farris said she has plans to open other housing villages in South Florida and California.
"The goal is to prevent another abduction, death or abuse," she said.
- Really? I think it's free publicity myself! And even if it wasn't, your Nazistic plan would not prevent another crime either.
