Find Out Who to Steer Clear Of

Have you ever wondered if there are registered sex offenders in your neighborhood? Maybe some of you have wondered why the neighborhood kids keep hanging around with that older man down the street? I wouldn’t allow that behavior in my children while growing up but noticed that a lady we know has a young son who runs around with a small crew of kids. They are about 12 – 14 yrs. old and always running afoul of the police for petty thefts, smoking pot and caching weapons such as baseball bats, multiple pocket knives, a B-B pistol and one old sword. These boys all flock to one older fellow’s home and spend hrs. there at a time. My first thought was “why”? The lady in question extolled his virtues and how much the youngsters loved coming to see him.

Now, this man might be an ex-teacher or coach and love the company of young men who he may see as a valuable resource to be nurtured and mentored. He may be all and more than what the youth’s Mom says he is. I wouldn’t believe it until I had checked with the local Police Dept. to be sure that he wasn’t a sex offender or some type of unsavory character. But that’s just me. I’d like to share a resource I found that might be interesting – you may even want to save it in your favorites. This is a website that helps in establishing known sexual predators in your area.
