MIAMI BEACH -- Sprinkled among the pulsing dance clubs, flashy cars and all-night, every-night glitter of this adult playground are pockets of another world. There are 15 schools and 38 parks in this 71/2-mile-long barrier island city, each pulsing with a sound of its own: children's voices. Miami Beach Mayor David Dermer is close to building a virtual wall around the children, rewriting municipal law to almost entirely block registered sex offenders from moving into his city. If Dermer succeeds, experts say Miami Beach might have the most restrictive sex offender policy in the United States.
