FamilyWatchDog.com: What Can it Do for You?

A service that FamilyWatchDog.com provides is helping you find sexual predators in your neighborhood. You search by zip code and they will give you a list of offenders, photos, addresses, and list on convictions to assist you in know where you are living. You do have to pay a one-time $10.00 activation fee, which seems small for the service that it provides.

For me, FamilyWatchDog.com was a sincere help. Over 10 years ago, I had left a very disturbed man after I found out he had been convicted of molesting his cousins. I had to watch whatever I did because he would show up constantly. Eventually he moved away which I thought was the last of my problems. I had not know of this website at the time; however, a few years back someone started to break into my home and steal things that were not of any value, such as underclothes and pictures.

I started to get worried but the police did nothing other than up the patrols. At the time since it had been years since I had heard anything from my ex; I didn't even think of him. Finally one friend told me to go onto this website and see if there were any sexual offenders in the area, since they were taking things that were private in nature. So I did do a search and my ex was listed only 7 miles away from my home. He had moved back to the state and I hadn't known.

I contacted the police letting them know that my ex was living rather closely and the nature of his previous convictions and that due to him knowing where I had lived that I was concerned it may be him breaking into my home. The police were able to use this information to sweep his neighborhood as well as my own.

Eventually after a few months they caught him in my neighborhood and used this to search his home. In his home they found all the family photos he had taken and my panties. I was incredibly relieved he was caught. Thinking back if I had not found that information I may have never realized who had been in my home and it may have escalated to something even larger than it did.

I know many friends and families that use this tool to make sure their neighborhoods are safe for children. My experience with it was stranger but no less important.
