New Braunfels City Council members on Monday gave initial approval to an ordinance creating child safety zones that would prohibit a registered sex offender from going in, on or within 1,000 feet of a child safety zone in the city limits.Â
Child safety zones are defined by the state as premises where children commonly gather, which include public or private schools, public or private day-care facilities, playgrounds, public or private youth centers, public swimming pools, video arcade facilities, city or state parks or any other facilities that regularly hold events primarily for children.
New Braunfels Police Department Capt. Mike Penshorn told council members that protecting children is a department priority.
