Times have certainly changed since I was a kid. I can remember growing up in a major city as a kid and going off to play with my friends for hours at a time. Roaming the streets and quite frankly my parents would have no idea where I was or how far I had gone. I knew to be home by the time the street lights came on and life was good! Those days are long gone. We have to be ever so careful now with our kids and our loved ones. Your neighbors can seem like the nicest most honest folks on the block, however what you might not know is that they may be registered sex offenders.
Sex Offenders Search solves the mystery of "is that guy a creep?"
Unfortunately, there is an App for that. It's actually not unfortunate that the App exists, it's unfortunate that we need it. Luckily convicted Sex Offenders are required to register and this App allows you to find them based on your Location. You can see their picture, their address and even the crimes that they were charged with and to be very honest with you, it was pretty disturbing to see the number of pin points appear on the map in my area. If you have kids, a wife, sister, mother, cousin or girlfriend, you need this App!
The Bottom Line
Don't second guess it. Just download it!
There is a light version too that doesn't give you as many details for searches further away, but it is free and you can get the light version here:
You can search by address, zip code or even near your contacts in your Address Book!

Thanks for bringing this app to my attention. We're empty nesters now but it is interesting to see how many registered sex offenders there are in your community. I have passed this link on to everyone I know that has an iPod and children.
