A site that we should all know about!

[lightedcontrols]

I want to share a website with you that is a good idea to visit. It is
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 (lists rapists and child molester locations) You can 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 (and women) safe. You may want to share this with anyone who has families.

Stay safe!

Family Watchdog

Family Watchdog is a free service to help locate registered sex offenders and predators in your neighborhood

That works if you don't live in the boonies like I do. But my neighborhood is very safe (or seemingly so) and there are a few cops that live there.

 

[retromom]

Would you believe.....

We have four sex offenders within 3/4 of a mile from us, and ten in the general vicinity. It doesn't matter where you live, they are lurking out there waiting for you or your children. Everyone should always have their antennae up for these bastards!

Thanks for the info Mark! I've bookmarked it, and will peruse it frequently!

There are people who can't keep it in their pants anywhere you go. They also report people who were convicted of "Crimes against nature". Well, me being naive, looked up what that meant. Sodomy. Then of course, that raises the question. Is that against the law if it's between consenting adults? And unless two people are doing that in public, should the police even notice that?

Anyway, I checked out Chalmette (or whats left of it) and around my old neighborhood are a child molestor and 2 people with "Crime against nature".

By the way, Opelousas, LA is full of Child Molestors. Geez.

 

[Maytagmom]

OMG

There are over 470 on my map....

I knew there were alot in the 5 mile area...but OMG...
This map is more user friendly than the one from the local Police web-site.

Thanks for posting it lightedcontrols...it is going to help me make a more informed decision on where to relocate in the near future.

Think I will go get my hand-gun liscense.

OMG, this makes me sick :-(

 

[toggleswitch]

Here is a newsflash-

IIRC sodomy is technically defined as ANY contact that is not M-F contact (while married) that is potentially baby-making to include touching or kissing. It's quite a catch-all.

An arrest could be made in the old days: For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Try abbreviating that one.

 

[toggleswitch]

They also report people who were convicted of "Crimes against nature".

--Since humans are part of nature technically we can not, by definition, be doing anything that is against (outside of)nature.

Is that against the law if it's between consenting adults? And unless two people are doing that in public, should the police even notice that?

--Many of the private, intimate actvities that are common-place (to all) are technically illegal. Specific to my tribe our recreation was illegal in literally half the states 'til recently. (It ain't much better now).

In my city, for example, it is still illegal to tie a horse to City Hall. I mean where else would you tie one? Methinks we need to rethink some laws.

 

[hoovermatic]

This is a very dangerous 'tool' and I hope it is NEVER introduced in the UK. Who is in control of the input of information and what safeguards are there to prevent any one of you being branded a rapist or paedophile and having some lunatic petrol bomb your house?

 

[lightedcontrols]

If it was...

I very seriously doubt that if it was between ''consenting'' adults that it would have been an issue with the police! And Hoover, stop living in the dark! If I had children living at home (my three adopted are on their own now) I would surely want to know where every child molester/pedophile lived around me! We just had a judge here in Virginia let a CONVICTED pedophile go. Two weeks later he raped and killed a 7 year old boy. So yes, WE SHOULD KNOW WHERE EVERY ONE OF THESE psychos live! Hopefully, the Netherlands will wise up to this and do the same even though I realize the sex laws concerning minors are quite different there. Went to Amsterdam and was appalled that kids the age of 14 were available for ANY kind of sex, and no one seemed concerned or cared. Mark

 

[lightedcontrols]

...AND ANOTHER THING....

If you want them in YOUR neighborhood, fine. I DON'T WANT THEM IN MINE! Mark

 

[petek]

Mark I don't believe Hoovermatic was disagreeing with the concept only the source, their accuracy and their accountability.

Cake anyone?

 

[foraloysius]

I'm sorry, but I have to say at least something here. In the Netherlands it is just as illegal as in other countries for 14 year "available for ANY kind of sex". Amsterdam may be a city with a lot of freedom, but there are rules in my country and they are being maintained too. Too many assumptions I think.

 

[lightedcontrols]

Hi Pete!

As the site states, these are all CONVICTED sex offenders! Mark

 

[sudsmaster]

Well, Louis, here in the USA we have a highly placed official with the Homeland Security dept. who has been charged with soliciting sex from a minor over the internet.

So much for enforcement of child abuse laws... kind of like putting the foxes in charge of the hen house.

 

[petek]

Wait a minute Suds...if he got caught and he's been charged then apparently the child abuse laws are working.

 

[appnut]

Yikes, I've got 68_ in less than 2 miles!!! Who da thunk!!

 

[tolivac]

Tried it-according to the map -69 sex offenders near my place--the problem I have is people stealing my lawn mowers--hope they are not having sex with them!!!Keep my M1 carbine handy.A neighbors teen was involved in a drive by shooting several years ago-the neighbor is a very nice person though-have no problem with him.For the most part-its safer in this neighborhood than the one I used to live in that was near wash DC years ago.Saw one "drive by" shooting there-person was hit in the leg.Another-a dead man in front of the apartment building-ran into that after getting home from a night shift.Glad I am away from that-there I had to keep that carbine LOADED!

 

[brettsomers]

everyone does realise that even the entertainment industry (tv news) has participated in entrapment exercises, where a reporter poses as a minor and entices adults into illegal acts. the police do this too. *hoovermatic* is not off the wall by questioning police ethics. human nature has proven itself vulnerable to a witchhunt mentality many times. yes, children are often victimized. but just because someone is under 18 doesnt mean that they are uncapable of deviousness. gay men have often been lumped into the same category as child molesters, for sexual behaviour that might very go unreported if committed between man and woman. such as in nightclubs or spring-break beaches. or college activities. this subject deserves responsible and active thinking. beware of kneejerk judgements.

 

[knitwits1975]

Washington State is trying with the help of our governor Christine Gregoire to pass a law that will impose a minimum sentence for all sex offenders who have violated anyone who is disadvantaged. This includes children, elderly, mentally or physically disabled persons.
