Default read! this is very important and useful.

in school, we had to go to an assembly about safety this past friday. it was about sexual predators and criminals andn stuff like that. they told us about this website that would not only benefit children and students, but adults, or any one else. Its called www.familywatchdog.us .

on this website, you can put in your street, city, state, and zip code and a map will pop up. there will be colored squares and landmarks on it. it shows where the criminals/predators live and work, and shows their picture, and what they're convicted of, when it happened, and where they were last seen, and a detailed description of them. there are about 5 within 1 mile of my house!

use this site and stay safe =D

This is a wonderful site...we researched it before we bought out house back in june. There was a house (really nice and great price) on a certain road and the realitor was like there is this beautiful house on sheffield and its a wonderful price would you like to check it out. and i was no...because there is a sexual child molestor two houses down and that's why its' not selling. I said i don't care how much they lower the prices. I'd never move there and I'm sure no one else will either.

Its sad cause you think they would tell you knowing you have children, but unless you research it, they don't have to disclose it.

I took my daughter on the site...it shows pics and everything...they better kids are informed, the more chance they have to protect themselves.

it's sad what this world has came to.

They are not aloud to... They could lose their license but if it were me I would find a way to warn people. I doubt the family you tell would turn you in they should be grateful.

I wish we had something like this in Canada. It makes me beyond angry that my country protects these pervert monsters more than they do my child. 2 years ago, a rapist dubbed as the balcony rapist (used to climb in apartment windows and rape sleeping women) was released from prison. He sought no treatment in jail and was labled as someone who was very likely to reoffend. His "life sentence" was over and he was a free man. Because he served his entire sentence, he was not put on probation. He moved into a house 1 minute away from me. I couldnt leave my own home without constantly looking over my shoulder.

All I can say is thank god for street justice. This idiot has been roughed up a number of times....somehow he keeps living though. Shame, isnt it

Ok. I know im going to pi@@ alot of people off here, but its just got to be said. You cannot look at a site like that or any of the others and determine what the true situation was. I mean yea if a guy rapes a poor child hang them by their toes and cut their "you-know-what" off... but I know of many in the area I live in that were fooled by 13,14,15 year olds thinking they were much older (because we all know that they look alot older these days) and when they broke it off the girl cried rape.
Please do not look at sites like this and think "oh, i know him/her, i will never talk to them again cause their a child molestor" you never know the true story. If you want to know the truth about anyone on there, you can simply call the officer in your area that is responsible for booking and getting the info on the people you see on these sites and ask them. Its public information and they are allowed to answer your questions.

Oh, I forgot to add, before it gets said, yes I do have small children, I am concerned for their safety. But I dont believe everything I see on the internet until I research it for myself...

I understand what you are saying about getting both sides of the story, but be thankful you have a site like this. Having it is far better than not having it. I have been raped before, 10 years ago...and if I knew that my friend had been previously convicted of rape (he had been) I would never have gotten into his car. I would have never ended up at his home alone. I would have never drank that glass of OJ. If only I knew what I know now.

If this site shows 99% of men that have been wrongly convicted, but that 1% is accurate and saves someone from being violated...I think it is worth it. Especially if it saves a child.

Sorry, I just had to add one more thing. And I do say this with the understanding that to me this is a touchy subject...please dont think I misunderstand you, because I really dont.

The term "crying rape" is offensive to any man, woman or child who has been raped, because too often victims are not believed. A 13, 14, or 15 year old girl (who may or may not have consented) is not fully mature enough to know what he/she is getting into. An adult is and he/she should not put themselves in any position where he/she can be accused. I've seen those girls you speak of. Any yes, they look older than they are...it can be a scary world for a man. But HE/SHE needs to be sure that they are with a person of age...it is HIS/HER responsibility as an adult.

I might be wrong but I believe the original post said the site tracks more than sex offenders, it said it tells what crime you have been convicted of . I just have a really hard time with this. Lets say your 18 and got busted for a DUI and you still have a record 10 years later but have not reoffended and made restitution. Should this become public knowledge. I believe in second chances.

I completely agree with you. I only wanted to make a point being that not everyone on that site is an evil predator. Some were not intending on doing anything wrong, they just didnt ask for an ID....
I am truly sorry you experienced that, its those men who get kicks out of raping children and women who should not be allowed into society again. It is great having a site like that, but most people take it too far and think eveyone on there are sorry child molestors and some even take matters into their own hands.

Yes, but the few like I was talking about in my post are still listed as indecency with a minor and most still think that always means rape.
After 10 years a sex offender who has not had any problems and has shown that they are no threat can petition the court to be removed from the registry, but im not sure about any of the other charges like the DUI you mentioned. But no I do not think a DUI should be common knowledge either unless it was a serious problem.

Like you said its your opinion...my MIL does foster care for teen girls, most are not as innocent as you think. The ones who put themselves into that situation know what they are doing, and until there is punishment for them as well then it will not stop.
I have a son, u better bet that when he starts dating ID's will be checked before they leave my home. I also have a daughter, if she was to ever get into this situation and I found out that she was consenting to it and then tried to get back at the man by "crying rape" she would have hell to pay.
Truly getting raped is not what I am talking about...that is something that was not your fault. You did not consent to that, you did not ask for that, so if me saying these girls "cry rape" offends you, then Im sorry. But you must live in a better area then I do because it happens alot in my area.

I think it happens a lot everywhere. I wanted to test the site out and the only US zip code I know of is, lol, 90210. Beverly Hills, Bel Air....sexual offenses are not restricted by geography or income.

I cant imagine what would drive someone to falsly accuse someone of rape. I know it happens though, and that should be a crime, if it isnt.

Ive seen it alot with the foster girls that come in and out of my MIL's home.. it seems like they do it for the attention. If someone would pass a law where if you said you were raped (forced) but then it was discovered that it was consentual it should be treated just like filling a false police report only with stronger consequences. Of course the guy would still get in trouble cause the girl was still underage, but it would cut out on alot of the mess thats going on now.
