I was recently sent a link to one of those "check your neighborhood for sex offenders" websites. I just input my address information, and it was pretty interesting to see what came up. This is a good one, because you can kind of get an idea of what is around you and where, as opposed to just a general list of addresses that are located in your zip code. Another good thing is that it doesn't just show crimes against children--it shows crimes against adults, as well.
In case you want to check it out: here's the site.

Wow. There are about 49 offenders within a 5 minute walk from my house. Almost half within two blocks from me.
That's insane!

Thank for the heads up. I've bookmarked that page.

I did that a couple months ago and it kinda freaked me out. Good information to know, but sitll freaky.
