Forest Park 2016 Halloween Sex Offender Safety Map

FOREST PARK, IL — Before kids go out trick or treating on Halloween, fall is a good time to take inventory of who is living in your neighborhood.

Forest Park has 14 registered sex offenders listed on the Illinois Sex Offender Registry, most of whom are classified as sexual predators. One of them is in prison, one is committed to Illinois Department of Human Services, two are considered homeless, and one’s location is unknown.

Registered sex offenders are prohibited from passing out candy on Halloween. They may not appear in a Halloween costume or other child-centered holiday character, such as Santa or the Easter Bunny, in public. Registered sex offenders, however, may wear a Halloween costume in their home, according to the Illinois Sex Offender Registry.

Pins on the map represent the locations of offenders convicted of sex crimes. Click on each pin and you will see more information pop up, including the registered sex offender’s name and address.

You may want to avoid trick or treating at these houses and apartments on Halloween, or merely be aware of who’s living in your neighborhood during the rest of the year.
