Is a Sex Predator Living Near Your School or Home?
Family Watchdog is an online service designed to provide that information.
Try entering the address of your church, school, or home and a map will pop up with a small icon of a house at the address you requested. You may see red, blue, and green dots surrounding the entire neighborhood; the dots indicate the various types of predators such as rapists and child abusers. When you click on these dots, a picture of a criminal will usually appear with his or her home address and the description of the crime(s) he or she has committed.
Maps are available for most cities and towns, except for the more rural areas.
The site was developed by America’s Most Wanted host, John Walsh, and others. This is one more tool to help keep our kids safe.
