Atleast one good thing with the web is that we can better educate ourselves on where the sexual predators are out there to protect not only ourselves but our kids. There are a number of ways you can check up who maybe living in your neighborhood. This one is one of my favorite sites familywatchdog.us

You can enter your address and see who lives or works around you. Also notice up top you can sign up to get FREE alerts when anything changes in your area.

Now when you see a box you can click on it and get more information - these are not ppl awaiting trial but those that have been found GUILTY!

Then you can also see the Registered Offender List for your area

Now here are some other sites and some phone apps that will also give you information to better protect yourself:

Offender Locator (iphone app)
mapsexoffenders.com

you can also google: [your state here] sex offender locator and find them in your state.
