The anti-loitering idea is the brainchild of Stephanie Malas, who spotted a sex offender at Northwest park, located near her home, 10TV's Kevin Landers reported.
"Most everybody in the neighborhood has seen him," Malas said.
Malas said he brings comic books with him to the park.
"It does seem like a book that mostly children read and children are attracted to," Malas said. "I'm not confident that he's not out looking for the opportunity to attract a child."
Idaho, South Dakota, Virginia and Georgia have passed anti-loitering laws against sex offenders.
Sallie Miller, the mother of a young child, said she thinks banning sex offenders from loitering at parks, pools or libraries is worth considering.
