Family Watch Dog

Today, several reports about child molestations, abductions and other sexually related crimes proliferate across the globe and majority of which are initiated via the internet.
In the U.S. the National Sex Offenders Registry developed Family Watch Dog. It is a website that contains information about the whereabouts of sexual predators and their complete identities.

However, Family Watch Dog isn’t limited to listing sex offenders alone. It also contains information about identity thefts, information about security you can do to protect your children from cyber-related sex crimes and forums which will keep you up to date with the latest information about these criminals
Technology advancement is a good thing. However, some malicious individuals are using it to their advantage in order to lure innocent teenagers and other naïve individuals. Most identity thefts and sex offences start with online interaction via social networking site like Facebook and MySpace or online chat sites.
Other clever hackers use various types of spywares and viruses to invade their target’s desktop or laptop PC. If you are not aware about spywares or doesn’t care about using tools to remove them, this is the time to start educating yourself. You might be putting your daughter’s security in jeopardy by doing and acting so.
Family Watch Dog uses a mapping tool in order to locate convicted sexual predators. You can check their official website to check if there are nearby convicted sex criminals in your neighborhood.
This is a good start to ensure our children’s safety against these online perpetrators. However, you should be mindful that not all sex offenders are indexed on this database. In other words, the systems still has limitations. And thus, it is better to equip ourselves with personal security measures against these cyber criminals.
