The general answer to the question concerning a sex offender parolee's ability to see his or her children will depend on the courts, his or her parole conditions and whether or not the other parent has been granted a motion by the family court to have sole custody and to disallow visitation by the parolee. The extent of the limitations this person must have or the extent to which he must stay away from children will depend on the categorization of his crime and of course, whether he was convicted of conducting such activity with children (think very young) or with minors (think between 16 and 17). If you have any questions about it or are concerned about this exposure of this person to your children, contact the prosecutor's office to see if they can send you a copy of the court order or share with you the terms of his parole.
