Sex offenders in your neighborhood.

It lists a bit of info under "Convictions", so you could ask a lawyer or go to any law library and look up the specifics of that crime.

I have mostly green squares around me and two red. There is one red square less than a mile from the high school where my family grew up.

Scary.

I am not too worried about the ones that do show up on the website... I am worried about the ones that haven't!!! The people on the website are only there because they got "Caught". They know about their rights and rules and what happens if they violate them.
There was a story recently about a little girl getting shot and killed because she was going to tell on her friend's father for molesting his daughter! The father shot the girl so she wouldn't tell. Could you imagine what his daughter is going through? She was too scared to speak up so her friend was going to do it for her.
Instead of worrying about identifying the posted offenders, let's worry about the signs of the ones NOT caught. Let's make sure our children understand what "good/bad touch" is and who to talk to about it. We should also amend our laws so that teenage boyfriend/girlfriend offenses aren't treated as harshly. I have no problem with an 18 year old dating a 16 year old. I do have a problem with 16 and younger having been violated by adults. At age 16 your old enough to drive to the police station and be believed.

Ugh, I click on the link, but can't get the site to load

Sex offenders on the website are still scary, and it's so important to know who they are and where they live. They don't believe that they are doing anything wrong, and a very high percentage of them recidivate. Remember that little girl that was recently killed in Florida by a registered sex offender?

Finally got the state to load...but PA is not on there! They did state on there that they hope to have all states loaded by Oct. 20, so I'll just keep checking back. Thanks for posting the link!
