Do Sex Predators Live In My Area?


Junior T: Are there any sex predators in Union Beach, NJ?

JW: That’s a question that parents living in any and every town in America ask, and there are a few ways for you to get answers. The Department of Justice has a national database that lets you to search for registered sex offenders in your area—here’s a link to it. And we also have a link from here at the AMW Safety Center to the Family Watchdog website, where you can search for sex offenders by zip code. Unfortunately, not all sex offenders register the way they’re supposed to, so you shouldn’t get a false sense of security if your searches don’t come up with any registered offenders in your neighborhood.

College friends of mine from years ago are the ones to get me into the phediphile listings. We had one down the street who I knew in my heart to be bad.Then, they told me.( I saw that he was around kids, he was breaking probation ) We called him in to state police, he was arrested “again”. I was a crossing guard for a couple of years, second best career I ever had. A guy was going into the school with his newer girlfriend, found out through a friend he was on” A LIST”, I found the list. Called the school, they already knew about it and they were okay?. Yet the school lady who told me this was fired, I also called my Captain. The guy never entered school property again. he later tried to show up at my crossing zone “with a puppy” talk about a kid maginate, I called my Captain again. The guy moved out of state. We can make a difference, to protect our children, and other’s children. The best way to protect your rights and the rights of children is to keep using them.!

if there is not a law against sex offenders living with children, then there should be. it is the saddest thing when there people have to prey on helpless children. put them in prison where they belong, and let the inmates give them the justice they deserve. in prison, there is no worse crime then being there because you molested a child ! god may pity you, but no-one else will ! ! !

Does anyone know if there is such an organization in Australia. Because there doesn’t appear to be so?

Any info is helpful.

This should be an international Organization.

Being the father of three children and the uncle of sixteen, I can’t understand a person thinking of a child in that way. Surgical and or chemical removal of that which drives that sick-o I am all for. Even current prisoners have an ethics code against child molesters. Keep up the good work AMW.

I’m 14 years old and everyday I get so scared that someone is going to try to kidnap me and I’m so scared of being alone when I get older because I just don’t want anyone to try and hurt me. I don’t know how to get rid of this fear.

Child molesters deserve what they get in the jails and prisons from the other inmates. They also deserve nothing less than surgical castration! Forget chemical castration. They can easily go off the treatments.

i`m 21 yrs old and have no children but have a 2 year old nephew. i also have no pity on child molesters and i also don`t think they can be “cured“.i believe they should be put in prison without the possibility of parol,b/c if they offend once they`ll do it again.inmates will steal his soul and burn them alive in prison and that`s what they deserve if not worse.thanks for the sex offender site i will use it!
