I was surprised because she told me sex offenders are very rampant in their area. She has three kids and and I worried about their safety. So I introduced her about SafeKidZone and how it made my whole family feel safe at all time. It's a phone application that will enable you to view threat level and sex offenders in your area. What I love about the service is, it's a quick way to ask for help from your loved ones by just clicking the Panic Button. If you would like to know more about the service, you can check their site http://SafeKidZone.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-56471202028411319852007-12-08T09:51:00.000-05:002007-12-08T09:51:00.000-05:00I keep such a short "leash" on my four year old th...I keep such a short "leash" on my four year old these day that I never really thought about it. But I should probably get in the habit now of knowing such things because as he gets older he's going to have to be allowed to live. Thanks for the reminder that we should use our resources.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10576518690005531810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-70415804688213643752007-12-07T14:10:00.000-05:002007-12-07T14:10:00.000-05:00Wow.

And now you mention it today (or yesterday, whatever).<BR/><BR/>Anyways, yeah, I was kinda blown away by the site and the information available. I had to stop myself from spending too much time reading and looking up everyone's business. It was creepy and pretty sad.B.Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18213207493213310434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-4164416751890217452007-12-07T08:10:00.000-05:002007-12-07T08:10:00.000-05:00I like the e-mail option.

Georgia seems to have the option to search a given zip code, but not to search within a certain radius of one's home.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, it's just user error because I think that people want to know about their neighborhood more than their zip code.<BR/><BR/>I just want to know where they are, how close they are, and which ones have a bad history with kids.Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305755944694741335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-85316405502606178312007-12-06T16:58:00.000-05:002007-12-06T16:58:00.000-05:00Yup.

I'm pretty sure that legally, it has to be.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, our neighborhood gets a lot of sex offenders moving in. None especially close to our house, but still in the neighborhood. One of the disadvantages of our refusal to move to the suburbs, I guess. <BR/><BR/>The good news is that we're on an email list that not only announces whenever an offender is moving in, but also tells us when and where the public meeting is that'll give us more info if we want it. <BR/><BR/>I imagine that most communities have a meeting like that (if not an email list) that folks can go to if they're interested. For us, it's sufficient right now that we know where the offenders live.Michael Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514945570212261283noreply@blogger.com
