Sexual Predator Databases

We all want to keep our children safe and we can make a good start by using the resources available on the Internet. Every state in America has its own sexual offender or child molester database. Each database is different, but they all allow you to search within your area to see if any child molesters might live near you. Each offender will have a profile that includes information about the type of crime committed, the number of sexual offenses, the age of the victim(s), distinguishing marks (like tattoos), and often there is a picture of the child molester.

There is a difference between a sexual offender and sexual predator. Child molesters that have been convicted of child molestation two or more times can be classified as a sexual predator. Child molester databases will differentiate between a sexual offender and a sexual predator. The link below will help you find the child molester database(s) in your state. Take the time to search theses databases. Enter your zip code, your child’s school zip code, and the grand-parent’s zip code. If you research the areas your child might be playing in you will know who to look out for. Please pass the information on to other parents and friends.
