I wanted to share a website with you that is a good idea to visit:
www.familywatchdog.us
When you visit this site you can enter your address and a map will pop up
with your house as the small icon of a house and red, blue, green, dots
surrounding your entire neighborhood.
When you click on these dots a picture of a person will appear with an address and the description of the crime he or she had committed.
The best thing is that you can show your children pictures and see how close these people live to your home or school.
This site was developed by John Walsh from Americas Most Wanted. Another tool to help us keep our kids safe.
Of course, these are only the offenders who have been CAUGHT. We know there are more than this, but it's a place to start, at least. The site also has a video you can watch with your children to discuss safety and strangers.

P.S. Thanks for sharing this info, Marnie.
