thanks like

i remember someone saying you have to be a certain "level" to be listed

damn i can't remember but it seems like you can have an offender nextdoor and not know it

WOW, I went to my city and checked on the map - I had no idea so many sex offenders lived in Topeka. How scary for our kids.

Does anyone know about the new law they are trying to pass - about making the sex offenders live outside the city?? They can't live within so many miles of the city or something. Boy, talk about "we live in a fallen world" thing. I guess.

There are a few in my area as well, clos by.

Thanks for the post

wow sorry for what i said. i found a moderate offender in my town

i can't stand to think about the real bad ones

Exie. Do you know what the web site level is as far as how bad they are? ie. A 17 year old shacking up with a 15 year old and then turning 18. Then you have pi$$ed off parents and the 18 year old is listed as a sex offender. I only ask because are these the bad guys?

[justloafing]

I found it in the disclaimer.

WARNING This site does not contain information on all convicted sex offenders! Information is only provided for sex offenders with risk assessment scores of Level 2 (Intermediate) or Level 3 (High)!

Here is what level 2 and 3 mean.

Level 2

Level 2 offenders have a moderate risk of re-offending. They generally have more than one victim and the abuse may be long term. These offenders usually groom their victims and may use threats to commit their crimes. These crimes may be predatory with the offender using a position of trust to commit their crimes. Typically these individuals do not appreciate the damage they have done to their victims.

Level 3

Level 3 offenders are considered to have a high risk to re-offend. They usually have one or more victims and may have committed prior crimes of violence. They may not know their victim(s). The crime may show a manifest cruelty to the victim(s) and these offenders usually deny or minimize the crime. These offenders commonly have clear indications of a personality disorder.

I wonder what would happen if I looked up the Toledo Ohio area? :blink:

[outofdafog]

I run credit and criminal reports on people every day at my job. In our town there are several and as just loafing said, some are 18 year old guys who have had "consensual" sex with gals that were maybe 16 or 17 at the time. Mom and dad find out, turn the guy in to the sheriff, voila, he becomes a sexual offender. Not sure I agree with this or not. But their photo and address are listed with all the offenders no matter what age their victim. I guess the law is the law and must apply to everyone.

I asked to be emailed from the offender site every time someone moves with a mile of my complex. There is a street about half a mile from us that has all kinds of offenders living on it. It really amazed me.

Showing a map with sex offenders' locations is good, but I'd like to point out that there are better sites, with more info. Just do a Google search for "your county name" +"sex offenders" and see what comes up. The site I looked at lists the perps' exact addresses and shows a photo of each creep, as well as his convictions.

Our office is maybe 1/4 mile from a huge men's homeless shelter where they send people who have just been released from prison. The place is crawling with sex offenders. (They blend in well with the murderers who hang out there.) The map found by clicking on the original link in this thread shows no sex offenders there, but I counted 23 and only went to C in the site's alphabetical list (by last name) of men living at that address. And there are two more men's shelters just a little farther from our office.

This was all part of our boss's brilliant plan to save on parking by moving out of downtown. So now we're in a creepy industrial area in a converted warehouse, surrounded by perverts!

Another sex offender locator

Go to this link and enter your street address...it will show a "house" in the middle of the map, that's your house... all the little colored boxes are registered Sex Offenders... click on them and you get a name, address & picture of the person along with his crime... shows you where they live in proximity to your home and the local schools.

[excathedra]

thank you kit. what if i click on the purple and get an address but no name or pic ?

only the red gives me a pic and detailed info.

but what are these other indicators ?

oh wait i'm seeing these are our schools

[Linda Z]

Thanks, Kit, that's a good site.

[Amazingrace]

Thank you for the sites. I've just discovered I live in the dark-age State of Pennsylvania. Offenders from Pennsylvania are not allowed to be mapped.

Guess its time to contact someone in legislature.

I can't believe I don't have access to this information.

Amazing Grace

I would be upset too..Try your county website. they are listed on ours.

[Amazingrace]

Thank you, likeaneagle,

The county serarch led me to a "State Police" search. Exact home addresses are not mapped but at least I am able to obtain some information. All three people listed work in my city. That's important to know.

I still plan on writing legislature. We should be able to access info as easily as most of the entire country.

Thanks, again, for the good suggestion.
