Dozens of sex offenders flocked to faded motels and run-down trailer parks. Others are now homeless, sleeping in their vehicles parked in deserted rest areas and empty lots on the outskirts of Iowa's larger cities.
Twenty-six sex offenders now live in the Ced-Rel Motel, which sits amid cornfields on the outskirts of Cedar Rapids.
"When you come to this motel from out of town, you may not realize that 97 percent of it is made up of sex offenders," Zeller said. "You may be oblivious to that and if you have children, you may let them go get a pop alone. Rather than making a safe environment, we have made a more hostile environment for people to live in."

~I wonder what the nanny-states in Europe do with their ex-sex-offenders? At least America's taxpayers aren't paying to house and feed these monsters. Keep-'em moving, right? (For a vacation your family will never forget.)
