A reader tells Amy that a registered sex offender lives with his family in her neighborhood. She feels obligated to inform other neighbors who are unaware of his history that involves a child.

I’d appreciate your advice. Dear Uncertain: You don’t say how you know about this offense, but you should take it as a given that these neighbors don’t want others to know that he is a convicted sexual offender. But this is not up to them.

Other neighbors are not aware of the situation and their kids play and interact with the sexual offender’s family.
