Family
Watch Dog - Be Aware of Sex Offenders in your Area
If
you have kids, you should check this site out. It took me a couple of
times of trying to get into it, but once I did it was worth it. Let your
friends and families know about this web site, it's pretty scary! But
good to be aware. Okay,
here's the deal... go to this link and near the bottom left, it has a
"Click Here" button... click on it and enter your address...it will
show a "house", that's yours... all the little colored boxes are Sex
Offenders... click on them and you get a name, address, & picture of
the person along with his crime... pretty amazing and scary...it shows the age
range and sex that they have offended, plus where they live in
proximity to your home and the local schools.
