SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – The hours are ticking down toward the release from prison of Timothy J. Szad, a sex offender deemed so dangerous that Vermont authorities are taking the unusual step of not only warning the public but cautioning that blue-eyed, blond-haired boys of 12 or 13 could be in particular peril.
Some parents are worried in Szad's hometown of Springfield -- where he was planning to move in with his parents, until they backed out because of threats -- and the police chief in the community of 9,000 is urging people to be alert.
But there is nothing to stop the 53-year-old Szad from walking out of the Southern State Correctional Facility a free man on Friday.
