The purpose of this subchapter is to protect children from sex offenders by presuming that it is not in the best interests of a child to be placed in a custodial, residential or unsupervised visitation arrangement with a sex offender, regardless of whether the sex offender’s victim was an adult or a child.
Nothing in this subchapter shall preclude the court from denying custody, residency or visitation under other appropriate circumstances, including denying same under an ex parte or other emergency order.
