Sex Offenders Are YOUR Neighbors...Parents Beware!

To give her family peace of mind, I really do hope they have caught the killer of JonBenet Ramsey. After listening to all this controversy surrounding the known pedophile who is claiming to have killed her (did he or didn't he do it? He seems somewhat delusional...); thought I'd repost again the link to check your neighborhood for sex offenders. With the arrival of the internet and the office of public information, we parents can arm ourself with the right knowledge to protect our kids. Be street smart, know your surroundings.

Click here to check your neighborhood.

Enter your address and it will show a "house" that's yours. All the little colored boxes are Sex Offenders. Click on them and you get a name and mug shot of the person along with his crime. To my surprise there are 267 sex offenders in my 'safe' neighborhood!! (that's what the real estate lady said...)
Pretty amazing and scary.

Here something else you can do as a parent -

help change the laws.

This link shows recent changes in federal legislation to protect kids.

After you've seen this for yourself, consider forwarding our blog to people you care about with kids - and come to think of it everyone you know w/o kids too. I sure want to know who's in my neighborhood...
