Sex offender living close to school in Piedmont

Several parents of students at Wildwood Elementary School in Piedmont are angry after learning that a convicted sex offender has moved into a home across the street from the school - according to the New York Times.

A California state law mandates that sex offenders cannot live closer than 2000 feet from any school, but parents say the police have told them there is nothing they can do in this case.

Piedmont's police chief tells the Times that the district attorney has told him the law is un-enforceable because it has no specific punishment attached.

The times also says that the police have had conversations with the offender who says he intends to move in a matter of months.
