This is actually a little alarming. I went to http://www.familywatchdog.us/ and entered my address cause I thought it would be interesting to see if any sex offenders live near me, and it comes back with 137! And trust me I don't live in a bad neighborhood. How many live around you? I would have never guessed so many sex offenders are around. Thank god they have to register themselves. If any of you are parents of young children, I highly suggest you keep an eye on what they're doing online because you never know who might try and contact them. I know Netsmartz411.org is a good site to use if you don't know ways to monitor your kids. I had no idea how many sick people are actually out there.
I searched my zip code a while back. I love how 99% of the offenders lived between 14th st. and 6th st. Since the YMCA is on 10th, and the Science Center place is on 12th. I thought it was funny....because those are two places kids would hang out. And it's a bit scary since I work at the Science Center and my shift usually doesn't end till after dark.

Why exactly are you afraid of sex offenders? 🤨
seriously. im more worried about running into the scumbag that will shoot a person dead for $20. i dont think kiddie fondlers present an immediate threat.
some people just like the drama that comes with fear, and the subsequent macho glory of owning a gun and dreaming up statistically moot scenarios of some stranger tearing through their home and raping children, since its the only scenario where they wouldnt be facing murder or manslaughter charges for hunting down and killing someone.

People have a right to know if those sick things are in their neighborhood, so they can protect there kids. And as I said if they did shoot a pedophile (In self defence) it would be the best use a gun has ever had.
"Those things"? 🤨
How could you shoot a pedophile and think that self defense would hold up in court? It's not like the average child molester is Rambo or something. Unless you're like 11 you should never be in much danger from a pedophile.

Parents should be responsible and supervise their children whether child predators are around or not.
