*(I've just been made aware that this site is asking for money. I am so angry, because I just did it for free two days ago. I apologize for linking to this site, but was also quite unaware that they would be asking for credit card.)
**(( THIS SITE HAS CHANGED! The FREE Search can be found at www.familywatchdog.us/ ))
About once a year, I make it a point to visit a website that I think everyone should be aware of: www.familywatchdog.com (DO NOT GO HERE, SEE ABOVE). This site is dedicated to making anyone who is concerned for the well being and safety of children aware of sex offenders living in and around their neighborhood. This site is VERY well constructed. Simply tell them where you want to look, and you will be given a map of your area as well as surrounding areas with small "red houses" indicating the exact address of a convicted sex offender. Click on a house, and you will see a very clear photo of the offender (perhaps more clear in some states than others) as well as a small, non-detailed description of the crime itself. If you want to know, you can...
Some of you may be surprised at the number of predators close to home (although I HOPE and PRAY you find out otherwise!). I know I was. As a matter of fact, there was a new one listed, right here in my condominium complex. THIS, just a few short days after a man who lives in the next building from me, whom I have watched drive by my home daily, and have made a point to make clear eye contact with, was finally convicted and sentenced to six years for crimes involving children over the internet.
They live near my children's schools. They live near the school I work at. They live downthe road and in the next town. They are everywhere. Knowledge is power. Have it. Please.
I have been down this road, and it is not a road I would wish for anyone to travel.
Please check out this site. It NEVER hurts to know. Be safe...

I check this one as well as a site that I get to through our local sheriff's web site at least once a month. I also get emails from watchdog when someone moves into or out of our area that is on that list. Thanks for passing along the word.

Thank you for this. I got my eyes opened a little tonight.
Hi Michelle, thanks for stopping by my journal - glad you came by its nice to see you! I didnt realise you worked in the same profession as me. It is hard isnt it! The kids are very challenging - I keep thinking they are only 8! they are only 8! I feel I will cope better just doing the mornings. See you again. Laine x
