UPDATE: THEY ARE LIVING IN THE SAME HOUSE! And this predator's rap sheet goes back to the 60's!
I am not pleased to be informed that we have another sex offender in the area. This guy was just released from a mental hospital where he was being "treated". He moved in on the same street as another convicted child sex offender. What the hell?
If you've never checked out your area, I suggest you do. Even if you don't have children of your own we need to be aware and help keep kids safe.
Ironically I did a post earlier talking about how rare it is for kids to play outside these days. Its pretty sick that we have to worry about this but we do :(

Dr. Phil is doing a show on this today! Here is the blurb from his website: (I'll look for more here if you watch it!)
Don’t miss Dr. Phil’s exclusive interview with Brianna Denison's mother who is speaking out for the first time since her daughter's body was found. Nineteen-year-old Brianna made headlines when she was kidnapped while she slept on a friend's couch. Brianna's killer – an alleged serial rapist -- is still on the loose in Reno, NV. And, a controversial issue is heating up the headlines: Where should registered sex offenders live when they’re released from prison? Residents of Long Beach, California say not in their neighborhood. They’re outraged that an apartment building is allegedly housing 13 registered sex offenders, and the building owner is reportedly receiving $1,000 per month to house them. Former tenants, James and Getania, were disgusted to learn that the sex offenders were living in their building, and local residents weren’t happy either. Dawna owns several properties near the apartment complex. She says she’s losing tenants and the sex offenders are stalking others. Then, Jake Goldenflame, a registered sex offender who was convicted of molesting his daughter and young boys over 25 years ago, says he's still attracted to teenage boys, but says people like him have no resources and need to live somewhere. What does Dr. Phil think? Should the sex offenders be forced to leave the community, or should their neighbors just learn to live with them? If it's happening now, Dr. Phil is going to deal with it now!
I have meandered over from another blog...and this caught my attention because we are about to move from a very very safe small town to Cincinnati...I've been doing a little bit of research on this because I have 2 little ones. While on the federal website, you can type in zip codes and find out about sex offenders in that area...the addresses, offenses, et...there were 4 living in the same apartment complex in the area I was searching and 2 living in the same house. Yuck!
BTW, does anyone know what the different tiers stand for? I know that sometimes there are high school boyfriend cases of an 18 yr old having sex with their 16 yr old girlfriend...which, is not right, but does not concern me as much as these older persons preying on children.
Any advice on how to better research this would be much appreciated!
UPDATE: THEY WERE ORDERED TO MOVE!
