Scoping out the predators

[wowie]

We hear a lot about the dangers MySpace and other sites pose. The dangers certainly are real. Children often post too much information. And people can pretend to be anybody online. But, worst of all, they open the door for predators worldwide. However, don’t forget the dangers lurking closer to home. A convicted sex offender could be living on your block. That’s where the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website can help. It was named for a student kidnapped and murdered by a sex offender. You can use it to find out where predators live. Just enter your ZIP code and run a search. You’ll see a list of convicted offenders. Click on a name to see a picture, and home and work addresses. In some cases, you’ll also see a risk level. If you have children, visit this site. It will help you spot the dangers and avoid the unthinkable.

So scary! Totally freaking out. There one house near me that list 4 sex predators living together. *shock*

Scary, isn't it. The fact that sex offenders are even allowed out of prison is freightening to me.

One of my best friends is a state trooper, and he told me that he periodically checks that state records to see if any offenders love near his friends.

Comforting to know he's checking on you. :)

What is really sad is, that it's a family. They all have the same last name. 3 males and 1 women. It says sexually abuse of a minor . It's really sad. It fucking angers me.

There are only two registered in my immediate area. Question is how many unregistered ones are there?

It's nice having access to this information, thanks for posting.
