SAN ANTONIO -- Larry Don McQuay, a convicted sex offender who once asked to be castrated, is due for mandatory release in May.
McQuay is currently serving a 20-year sentence, but with good behavior and time served, is scheduled for release May 3, eight years into his sentence. He would more than likely be released in Bexar County.
Bonnie Blayney, a retired child advocate who is familiar with McQuay, said he is still a threat to children.
"He has made some very scary statements about killing the next child, and we're letting him out?" Blayney said in an interview Monday with KSAT 12 News.
Blayney recalls a statement McQuay made in an interview in 2003 when he said he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't commit more crimes against children when he is released. McQuay later said it was a plea for help.
After McQuay was released in 1996 for molesting a 7-year-old boy, he admitted to another sex crime involving a child, and it was then when he was returned to prison that McQuay asked to be castrated. Prison officials will not say if they granted McQuay's request, which under Texas law, is permissible.
Blayney said if McQuay was castrated, it won't make a difference.
"The event starts in the head and often ends up in the hands, so what good is it going to be to castrate him," she said.
Blayney said she is worried that McQuay will be released into a high-tech world.
"If he gets a hold of a computer and gets Internet access, he has a much bigger chance of accessing children," she added.
The limitations of McQuay's release will be determined by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.

WHY would they let this man out on "good behaviour" especially since it was such a heinous crime? If he asked to be castrated thenFULFILL HIS WISH-it will decrease his testosterone levels but i agree it's not a cure-he may in frustration turn to objects in lieu of his useless unit. Ibelieve that they should get an implant that zaps them whenever they get aroused by children-kinda like the dog barking collar or some other means of negative reinforcement.I also don't believe that once in jail they should be FORCED to have treatment not an option & high risk offenders should be microchipped tagged-also like dogs to keep track of their whereabouts. i was a child of sexual abuse & child pornography maybe hearing from a victim may help 2 see the other side of this dark tale
NewsChannel 5 Investigates:
Congress Hears of Sex Offenders Under Golden Arches
Posted: 5/3/2006 6:00:00 PM
An exclusive NewsChannel 5 investigation of sex offenders working under the golden arches now has the attention of Congress.
"I'd like to bring to the attention of the committee a recent investigation by NewsChannel 5 in Nashville."
That was how U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., began a statement to a congressional committee.
The House panel was hearing testimony about the sexual exploitation of children.
The congresswoman noted our investigation, which discovered dozens of child molesters and other sex offenders working at McDonald's restaurants. McDonald's markets itself as a great place for kids to eat and play -- and for teens to work.
"This has seriously troubled me because of the actions we have seen by these despicable people and what they go to to try and get close to the children," Blackburn told committee members.
In a separate interview with NewsChannel 5, Blackburn says she wants to see if more can be done to protect children.
"That we have sexual predators who are going into a place like a family-friendly restaurant, going into a place where they can be hired and get close to these children, to me that is of tremendous concern."
A child safety expert has called for a national boycott of McDonald's unless the chain does more to clean up its hiring practices.
