With the Sandusky trial uppermost in the news and recent pro-pedophilia comments to “Pedophilia -Time to Normalize? orginally posted on FOTM last August, the following information is provided as a public service. I suggest you bookmark the Family Watchdog website and share it as widely as possible.
Check out the Family Watchd0g website. It provides a Searchable/Map to identify the location of registered sex offenders who may live in your neighborhood. I live within a mile of elementary, middle school and high school. I just did a search and found the mugshot and case details of one individual convicted of indecent exposure who lives next door to a Christian Teen Center about 3 blocks from the high school.
