Federal court fails to protect children once again.

A Missouri federal court has ruled against the law Governor Matt Blunt signed into law in June to prevent sex offenders from having contact with children on Halloween.

Somehow, an order to remain inside the home with exterior lights off and a "No Candy Here" sign posted is too vague to be enforceable. And the judge in question who so ruled really had to stretch to find anything to rule against, too.

Of course, Missouri is appealing the decision, but Halloween is only a few days away. There may not be time to get it overturned.

Watch for little kids getting hurt as a result of that judge's decision to treat the offender as a victim, and the potential victims as meaningless.
