Doh, lightbulb moment. There may have been many reasons the neighbors could not call to report him. If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones! Sometimes I am very slow!!:waitasec:
I think you have a misconception in your idea. Not all registered sex offenders are on parole. Sex offenders now have to register for life. That does not mean they are still seeing parole officers the rest of their lives.

Lifetime Supervision and Risk Assessment
A number of state and local jurisdictions require lifetime supervision for sex offenders. Lifetime supervision is based on the assumption that sex offending can be a life-long, chronic pattern of abusive behavior, and that sex offenders may be unable or unwilling to control their criminal sexual behavior. Lengthy probation or parole terms have approximately the same effects.
Proponents of lifetime supervision assert that sex offending begins at an early age (between 14 and 20) and that their deviant sexual behavior is well ingrained, well rehearsed, and difficult to control by the time the criminal justice system and treatment providers intervene.25 Even after treating sex offenders and releasing them back into the community there is a certain risk that they will commit another sex offense. Therefore, proponents believe that the best way to avoid future victimization is through ongoing and extended surveillance and specialized treatment. Such close supervision and surveillance may also improve the ability of supervising officers to prevent or detect changes in offenders behavior patterns, such as a potential crossover to other types of sex offending, high risk lifestyle changes, or a shift to a new victim group.26
Sex Offender Registration
Sex offender registration laws are now commonplace throughout the United States.♦ Federal law initially required that states adopt minimum standards for sex offender registration and community notification in order to receive federal funding. However, many states are exceeding those standards. The goals of the federal registration law (the Wetterling Act) include increasing public safety, deterring offenders from committing future crimes, and providing law enforcement with additional investigative powers. In order to achieve these goals, states have developed a number of approaches to sex offender registration. These include:
Development of written policy and procedures, detailing the registration process.
Collection of thorough information on registered sex offenders, with ready access to this information by all law enforcement officers.
Development of systems to efficiently transfer registration information within and across state lines so that offenders cannot escape registration obligations.
The most comprehensive approaches to sex offender registration involve sharing information among state and local agencies include the sentencing court, state corrections and justice departments, local law enforcement, community organizations, and probation and parole. Close communication between those managing registration, those engaged in broad policy analysis and development, and those conducting the day-to-day monitoring of offenders, have prevented offenders from slipping through cracks in the system.30
So, being a RSO does not mean you will always be on lifetime parole. I hope that everyone realizes that the system, the way it is set up does not protect us, just as this case has proven. There was even a period of time between the release of his federal parole changing to parole for the state of Nevada, administered by CA that pg did not have parole administered upon him. Parole does NOT keep citizens safe!! This causes me to respectfully disagree with both you and Natal.
