Growing up, my ice cream truck in my neighborhood  was named "Mr. Softee".  When you're a little kid you don't think that is weird. You just want your Bomb Pop or Push Up...hmmm, come to think of it, even the flavors sound sort of creepy.

 Of all the dangers your kids have to worry about this summer, you probably didn't think the ice cream man was one of them.  But it turns out that some communities have ice cream men who are also . . . convicted sex offenders.

 --Today, San Bernardino County (--in Southern California) will consider an ordinance that would bar sex offenders from driving ice cream trucks . . . after parents realized that one of the local ice cream men was a registered sex offender.

 --Oddly enough, there's no law that prevents sex offenders from becoming ice cream men in most states.  And only a few counties even run background checks for the job.

 --The ONLY state smart enough to have any legislation preventing sex criminals from operating ice cream trucks is New York. 

The fact that this is even under consideration is disturbing.  It should be a given that sex offenders can't hold any of the following jobs:  clown, magician, swim instructor, coach, teacher or mall Santa...I'm sure there are more.

Plus, I think Ice cream trucks are SPOOKY!!!!!!!  This guy needs a new van...
