I have been able to check local sex affenders in my neighborhood since last June 2006.We have the right to know who they are and what they look like.We have gone from 82 in our neighborhood doen to 42 in six months.When I looked up the new offenders last month Child Safety Network came on the screen.Since then I have not been able to see who is new in this neighborhood and pray them away.They have the right also to see who they are where they live.Most in this area live in apartment's very close to schools and parks.Parents have the right to know who their new neighbor is.

Cyber Surfing if these are sex offenders they need to be kept off these sites and all sites where minors or those poseing as minors communicate.Remember this if you have been convicted once you should have learned your lesson.Leave our children alone.Seek counselling not the internet.
