There are some things where you're better off not knowing.

This isn't one of them.

 

 

I decided to see how many registered sex offenders are in my town.

Here are the statistics:

There are close to 200 sex offenders in my small town, 124 are within a 6 mile radius of my address.

There are 4 closer than 1 mile to me.

The closest is 0.15 miles. (!!!)

The second is 0.17 miles.

The third is 0.23 miles.

The fourth is 0.55 miles.

 

Now here's the deal U.S. wide:

 

California (where I reside) has the highest registered offender count, coming in at 61,372 people.

Minnesota has the lowest count, with only 141 people.

 

If this isn't enough to make you see things in a different perspective, then I don't know what will.

Re: An Eye-Opener
Unfortunately, we have quite a few in my area as well. Does yours state what the particular offense is?

Re: An Eye-Opener
Yep. And the majority are against children, but we've got a few rapes and what-not.

Re: An Eye-Opener
Why would yu want to know that...lol.

Re: An Eye-Opener
Why wouldn't you want to know it? Don't you think if you had a kid you'd wanna know who likes to bump pee-pees with little kids in your area?
doriangray on
Re: An Eye-Opener
Not really. Because I would actually be watching my child. I wouldn't let them run wild like most parents do these days.

Re: An Eye-Opener
Well, that's true, but you can't protect them from everything, and you can't 100% shelter them.
doriangray on
Re: An Eye-Opener
Yes, but there is a difference between sheltering and watching.

Re: An Eye-Opener
I know, but you can't hold your kid's hand there whooooooole life. You can't always keep an eye on them.

Re: An Eye-Opener
I can put a chip in them.

Re: An Eye-Opener
Hi doriangray, I wouldn't chip my worst enemies kid... those chips have proven to cause inoperable cancers.

Of course I was joking. Hence the smily face.

Re: An Eye-Opener
Now now children. XD

 

Bahaha, a chip. Yeah, I'd do that, but then when I want to track my kid I'd have forgotten that I also put some in a bunch of squirrels. XDXDXD

like you said, it's not a pretty picture

Re: An Eye-Opener
No it definitely isn't. But hey, as long as I don't anyone's name on there that I know I'll be fine. >.<

Re: An Eye-Opener
as unfortunate as this is, you must remember that these numbers are only registered offenders it doesn't include the hundreds that aren't registered, isn't that a scary thought

shotzie831 on
Re: An Eye-Opener
Oh yes, huh. That is pretty scary. =o

Re: An Eye-Opener
Hi shotzie,

 

I've just moved to Carmel a few months ago and am so afraid to even know of any sex offenders in my neighborhood. As those spotted  Leper-Leopards never change and I may go on a Smileyspree.

 

just 1tinkerbelle

Re: An Eye-Opener
Oh wow! Carmel!! I love it there. My roots are there in the whole 831 area (I was born in Salinas). Everytime my dad and I go down there we like to go to Big Sur. You ever been there?
1tinkerbelle on
Re: An Eye-Opener
yes on a sailing trip. i love it here...it's so beautiful.
shotzie831 on
Re: An Eye-Opener
I know, I wish I still lived on the coast...

Do you know of a way to get to the beach in Big Sur? My dad and I have attempted to scale down the side of the mountain many a time, but only because we can't find a path.

1tinkerbelle on
Re: An Eye-Opener
I've only been to Big Sur once and it was on a sailing trip.  I don't know of any direct routes from land but when i find out i'll let you know.
shotzie831 on
Re: An Eye-Opener
Oh sweet. Thanks.

 

Yeah, my dad and I have seen people down there, but we can't find a trail. And everytime I encounter someone who knows about Big Sur I always ask them.

Re: An Eye-Opener
and no one knew?
shotzie831 on
Re: An Eye-Opener
No!! I wish someone did know though...

 

BTW, I have slow net and I liked your wiki so much I took the time to let the whole thing load so I could look at all the Avatars.

1tinkerbelle on
Re: An Eye-Opener
thank you....i spent about 2-3 whole days constructing that waki wiki. 

i think a went a little 'too' nuts as i lost some of the work i'd done and refuse to go back because it'll be another 3days and even more mishaps.  haha 

shotzie831 on
Re: An Eye-Opener
That's crazy, but I love them anyway!

And I must say, I was very intrigued by the covert incest, I read, like, the whole thing.

Ha, you know what I hate? When I type out an extremely long reply, or loooong blog, then something happens and it doesn't go through, so I lose everything. I HATE THAT!!! Then I don't feel like redoing it for a long time. >.<

Re: An Eye-Opener

shotzie831 on
Re: An Eye-Opener
XD I can't say I'm as brutal.... I mean, none of my phones were ever held together by tape or anything like that... but I am brutal on my Game Boy. XD
