    Wow, that's unsettling.

    Thanks for the info. I'd heard it was out there, but I didn't know where.

    That is so creepy! I put my address in and there were lots of squares in and around the area! Why are there so many sickos out there? I just don't understand! I noticed that a few of them had multiple offenses. When will enough be enough?

    Having the pictures is a great idea, because at least we know what the creepies look like! *shivers*

    Whew, none in my neighbor and only 1 or 2 in the same city. However, there are A LOT in 2 towns over. Clearwater Beach, very populated areas and most are right near the beach.

    Wow, that's so sad. You know, one thing that always gets me, as far as totally judging these people as I click on each of the little boxes...I had a friend in Texas who would come up as a sex offender if you did a search like this near his home. What's sad about it, though, is that he commited his crime about twenty years ago, when he was about 19. He had sex with his 16-year-old girlfriend (whom he married later), and, the parents pressed charges. It just makes me wary of judging all of these people without knowing what they actually did. I don't know, after meeting Romeo (yeah, that was his real name!), it really made me look at it differently. I mean, some of them say blah blah something with someone under 16 years old, and, that's pretty obvious that it wasn't consensual. But, just saying minor doesn't necessarily make them a criminal, without knowing more about it. Blech. I have friends that have a sex offender as their next door neighbor. He's married with kids. I don't know his story, though, he could be like Romeo. Thanks for posting the site, though, Laura.

    I guess I see where they are actually splitting the crimes up...does it specify what they consider a child? I mean, is "child" different from "minor?" Same with rape...it may have been consensual and the parents of the 17-year-old pressed charges against the 18-year-old...ugh, i just like to be sure what i'm really looking at, ya know...

    I was going to make that point, also. We had a discussion on another board about a man that had grabbed a young girl out of the road to save her from getting hit by a car. Can you believe they gave him the title of sex offender? So, though most of them are bad, it's a shame for the others like the boyfriend/girlfriend and other situations like the one I listed.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Yeah, it really is. And, like I said, Romeo ended up marrying the girl he was jailed for having sex with. They have two kids, even. I agree with you, I think the majority of them probably are scum sucking $%^&*#@, but, for those few that aren't...it's just unfortunate that they don't list exactly the crime, so, that you could make an informed decision on whether or not you need to avoid them. I guess that's against the law, though, I don't even know for sure...
