Find Sex Offenders in Your Neighborhood

[sciencegirl]

Family Watchdog is a great site to see exactly if any sex offenders are living in your very own neighborhood. All you need to do is type in your own address, click search, and a map will come up with red blocks indicating all the sex offenders. Zoom in to your own neighborhood. If you click on the red block; the offender's address and picture will come up.

But; don't stop there. Check this site for family members and close friends who have children; and let them know if a sex offender is living in their neighborhood. Thank you.

You can also sign up at this website to be notified when a sex offender moves into your neighborhood.

I have a friend who is driving a school bus because she found retirement boring. They are updated by local law enforcement when the predators show up, move into another house, etc. She hands me a printed map from time to time. Turns out there is one 1/2 mile down the road from the corner where one of the boys catches the school bus. Since the bus comes before daylight, I am there early every morning in my car with him and a neighbor girl till the bus shows up. I love having the up to the minute reports.

This is a good tool. We don't have any children at home but the grandkids visit sometimes. So this is good to be updated and know what is going on in your neighnborhood.
