I recently saw a news article where a young girl was raped and murdered in an apartment while her mother and father were in another room. The man who did the crime was a previous sex offender and lived in her apartment complex. This story interested me enough to search my area and found that I have a sex offender living less than 200 feet from me. The following link is where anyone in Texas can search to see if they live near a sex offender. It gives current photos, last known address, the offense and more. Everyone should check it out for your safety and your childs.
