Sex Offender Map Site

Ok, I thought this would be an interesting site to visit. Just to see who was out there in my area.

Well, I think most people will be happier if they don't check out this site. I was very surprised by the sheer number of offenders near to people who are dear to me. So I'm putting it out there, but if you'd rather not look, I don't blame you.

Basically the way it works is that you put in the address you want to search around. Different states allow a different radius of search, so you may want to search nearby addresses to see the real scope of people. Here in Ohio the radius seems to be very small, only a few blocks. For me, just because they might be a few blocks away doesn't mean I don't want to see them on the map.

You can also click on their names to go to their page in the database, so you can see how heinous the crime was. Yeah, I'm sure you wanted to know that.

Well, good luck sleeping at night.

Link Me!! (Seriously you may not want to)

PS - its still in beta, so its a little buggy.

Wellllll Lew: I must admit that I am intrigued by this site and I know that eventually I will have to check it out because curiousity will get the better of me. I just hope I don't find someone I know. your Mama in VA
