So as of yesterday I found out that three halfway homes popped up and placed so many sex offenders in them! Over 20 within 1/10 of a mile from me. I was outraged. First, because we had no warning what so ever! Second, a school bus drops off young children on the same corner. These "people" have committed such horrible crimes! I went on megan's law and saw just a few of their offenses and became terrified for my safety and the safety of so many kids and adults that are walking around with no clue. How can the city just dump these offenders off like that! Is there anything I can do? Any ideas? I believe it is a right that residents should know about such an absurd situation. I am going to be making fliers to inform my neighbor's but wish and believe there is more that can be done. Please help, any comment or information would be greatly appreciated.

Oh dear. What street is this? 

Hello.

I saw your post today.  Your post does not indicate what town you live in.  My suggestion is that you contact your local police department if you live in a city or your sheriff's office if you live in a county.  They can direct you to a Neighborhood Watch Group that is you may join or they can help you form one of your own if none exists.

As a Neighborhood Watch Coordinator you can distribute flyers pertaining to sexual offenders and predators in your neighborhood to your email tree.  You can also ask the parks department if you can post flyers in the marquees at your local park if they have one.

Also, your state should have an alert system in place where you can sign up on the internet at their website to be alerted when a predator moves into your area or updates their address in your county.  In Florida, the websites to do a neighborhood search for sexual and predators and for alerts are: http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/homepage.do and

http://www.floridaoffenderalert.com/

Contact your local law enforcement agency if you cannot find your state's registry on the internet by doing a search for your state's name and sexual offender registry.

Stay alert, be safe and get going on getting hooked up with Neighborhood Watch.

It's up to us.

God bless.
