Family Watch Dog site/John Walsh
www.FamilyWatchDog.us

Sex Offender Registry

When you visit this site you can enter your address and a map will pop up with your house as a small icon of a house. There will be red, blue and green dots surrounding your entire neighborhood. When you click on these dots a picture of a sex offender will appear with his or her home address and the description of the crime he or she has committed.

The best thing is that you can show your children these pictures and see how close these people live to your home or school.

This site was developed by John Walsh from Americas Most Wanted. This is another tool we can use to help us keep our kids safe.

Please pass this on to everyone!!!

Wow sure are a lot of them 231 offenders found by me putting in my address and 354 offenders found by putting in my zip code.
What gets me is how many are so close to the schools.
May say Offender within 1000 ft of the school

Man I got to get out of this sick town.

Type in zip code 95673 and see how bad it is. I know I have seen some of the faces at the store. Gives me the creeps now.

Don't move...They are everywhere!! There are 2 living in my apartment building. There are a lot of apartments in my neighborhood so there are a lot living around here.

It is shocking how many offenders there are. People have got to get on the ball and protect their children. And the laws have got to get stricter.

Also, some people think they are safe if they live in a "good" neighborhood. Makes no difference. However, in Sac, most live in apartments.

Does it say how many of them have paid their debt to society and are trying honestly to get a fresh start in life?

I hope all of them have been rehabilitated and attended Wednesday night prayer meetings but as a parent I value the right to know who in my neighborhood has the inkling to molest little kids.

I live a couple doors down from a family with a 4-5 year old daughter. They mistakenly allow the little girl to run up and down our street unattended to. We live on a busy corner and have seen the child swinging around the corner street sign

Besides having irresponsible parents, she is in danger of being snatched up by some molester. I appreciate knowing who possibly could harm her.

So how does that justify tracking people who committed felonies out of necessity for survival?

I've made mistakes in my life, and a site like that one, as Poochee described it, will make it harder to get a fair chance in life for those mistakes. (Unless it's only about violent and sex offenders, which already had a registry online, and didn't need John Walsh's help.)

Unless people are knocking down doors and whooping on registered offenders, then where is the harm in allowing the neighborhood to know who the potential molesters are?

I'm not sure how the police work in Canada but our's are reactive to crime not pro-active. It's basicly up to the individual to first not place themselves in a position that they'll be harmed. If that's the case, then little Jimmy won't be playing next to Joe child molesters house.

Dave - there's no harm in keeping your kids safe, but "Oh goodness, that neighbour stole something from a store once." is where I draw the line. Because of reactions like "they're everywhere".

There's this thing Jesus said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." And then he jotted down something in the sand.

Sorry Jeb...I edited the post. This site is about known sex offenders.

Ahhh, okay. Then I retract my statements. Thank-you Poochee.

(I know, I should've looked at the site myself, and I apologize for jumping the gun.)

And I shouldn't assume everyone is familiar with Family Watch Dog.

BM,

You are correct. There was an attempt to get something like this going a few months ago. There was a 'working group' ( not sure who funded it), though Sarah Payne's mother was involved.

However it was by all accounts vetoed before the start, as 'sensationalist', an 'overreaction.' Etc ...

Remember the News Of The World' campaign 2 or 3 yrs ago, where people were attacked as victims of mistaken identity ? - That was cited as sufficient reason not to have such a mechanism.

Although when you consider the intelligence level of the idiots who put a brick through the window of a lady 'paediatrician' whose home was her surgery .... and sprayed paedophile on said sign - you've go to wonder what else could happen.

That said, there are numerous cases of British Judges doling out unbelievably lenient sentences to these deviants. A case in point was 13 months to a man who raped a baby. Later increased only because of the public outcry.

Life without parole should be the least they get.
