Maryland law on sex offenders and child custody must be revisited
September 29, 2013
ANDREW MOJICA is a registered-for-life sex offender in Maryland. As such, he's barred from knowingly entering a school or child-care facility without written permission. However, Mr. Mojica is allowed unsupervised visits, including overnight, with his 4-year-old son despite fierce objections from the boy's mother. The anomaly — other words come to mind — is the result of cracks in state law and a court system seemingly so suspicious of any parent who seeks to limit another parent's access to their child that it is willing to discount potential risks.
