It's always better to be safe than sorry. This is something my parents reiterated to me time and time again, while growing up. I heard plenty of spiels about looking both ways before crossing a street, never talking to strangers, never accepting rides of gifts from someone you don't know, and always reporting odd occurences back to them. My parents were on top of things, and I do mean that. I'm sure it didn't hurt having a father in law enforcement. Even today he passes a few tid-bits of valuable information my way. Now that I'm a parent, he tells me it's my turn to watch out for a child's well-being. This even involves online criminal checks. I wouldn't have been privy to this information if my father had never passed it on. I wonder who is living in your area that you should be wary of.
My hat is off to the way of the Internet warrior. The truth is that any one of us can help protect and defend our families now days just by using the web. How, you may ask? It's a cinch really. All you need is a PC and Internet access. What you're going to do next is a criminal check. Punch this phrase on Google and you'll be connected in no time. You see, criminal checks allow you to see any public criminal records. This is useful since you can scan your own surroundings. Find out if any known felons are residing in your neighborhood. Just because they served time and are now out living amongst the general public, doesn't mean that they're safe to be around. There's no way of knowing whether or not they'll strike again. More importantly, when doing criminal checks, you'll want to investigate sexual predators. Those who've been convicted will certainly be in a public database. I know that you'll want to be informed if one of these individuals is living in your neck of the woods. The sad part is that you may be shocked to find out there are several close by.
It doesn't have to cost you a dime. Online criminal checks are free if you use the right websites. Your state or county most likely provides information and updates on registered sex offenders. Make use of these sources you have at your disposal.
