NATIONAL SEX OFFENDER 

Finding Information About Local Offenders

  • Call the Sex Offender Registry at 1-800-262-3257. You will need the person’s first and last name and one of the following: an exact address

    1. with apartment number, city, state, and zip code, a complete date of birth, a driver’s license number, or a social security number.

    2. If the risk level is 3 (high) you will be able to get the above information plus the offender’s exact address.

    3. If the risk level is 1 (low) or 2 (medium) you will be able to get information about the offender, the crime committed, terms of
      parole or probation, and the offender’s zip code.

    4. If the risk level has not been assigned (pending), you will only be told that the person is a registered sex offender.

    5. GO HERE to search for most level 2 and level 3 offenders by name, county, or zip code. The Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) only allows information on level 2 and 3 offenders that are not pending to be posted on the website. Level 1 offender information can be obtained by calling the 800 number above or by contacting your local police mentioned below.

    6. GO HERE for the National Sex Offender Public Website connects all U.S. state, tribal, and territory websites so that citizens can search for the identities and locations of known sex offenders.

    7. The local law enforcement agency where the offender currently lives or goes to school can release information to “entities with vulnerable populations
      related to the nature of the offense”. Law enforcement may release the same information that is available via the 800 number for Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 offenders.

  • by phone at 1-800-222-1222. Both options are free, expert, and confidential.

SAFE INTERNET

USE AT HOME

HOME INTERNET USE:

 

We encourage parents to monitor their children’s activities when they use computers and the internet outside of school. The Internet is a powerful tool, they can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games but it also introduces new dangers into the lives of our children like inappropriate content, CYBERBULLYING, and online predators. Using apps and websites where kids interact, predators may pose as a child or teen looking to make a new friend.

​​

They might prod the child to exchange personal information, such as address and phone number, or encourage kids to call them, seeing their phone number via caller ID.

​

Parents should be aware of what their kids see and hear on the Internet, whom they meet, and what they share about themselves. Talk with your kids, use tools to protect them, and keep an eye on their activities.

​

A federal law, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) helps protect kids younger than 13 when they're online. It's designed to keep anyone from getting a child's personal information without a parent knowing about it and agreeing to it first.

​

COPPA requires websites to explain their privacy policies and get parental consent before collecting or using a child's personal information, such as a name, address, phone number, or Social Security number. The law also prohibits a site from requiring a child to provide more personal information than necessary to play a game or enter a contest.

​

Online tools let you control your kids' access to adult material and help protect them from Internet predators. Many Internet service providers (ISPs) provide parent-control options. You can also get software that helps block access to sites and restricts personal information from being sent online. Other programs can monitor and track online activity.

​

More important than blocking objectionable material is teaching your kids safe and responsible online behavior and keeping an eye on their Internet use.

​

Basic guidelines to share with your kids for safe online use:

​

  • Follow the family rules, and those set by the Internet service provider.

  • Never post or trade personal pictures.

  • Never reveal personal information, such as an address, phone number, or school name or location.

  • Use only a screen name and don't share passwords (other than with parents).

  • Never agree to get together in person with anyone met online without parent approval and/or supervision.

  • Never respond to a threatening email, message, post, or text.

  • Always tell a parent or other trusted adult about any communication or conversation that was scary or hurtful.

​

Basic guidelines for parental supervision:

​

  • Spend time online together to teach your kids to appropriate online behavior.

  • Keep the computer in a common area where you can watch and monitor its use, not in individual bedrooms. Monitor any time spent on smartphones or tablets.

  • Bookmark kids' favorite sites for easy access.

  • Check your credit card and phone bills for unfamiliar account charges. Never give a child credit card numbers or passwords that will enable online purchases or access to inappropriate services or sites

  • Teach a child that talking to "screen names" in a "chat room" is the same as talking with strangers and teach them to never agree to actually meet someone they have met online without your prior approval. 

  • Take your child seriously if he or she reports an uncomfortable online exchange.

  • Look for warning signs such as spending long hours online, especially at night, phone calls from people you don't know, unsolicited gifts arriving in the mail, your child suddenly turning off the computer when you walk into the room and withdrawal from family life and reluctance to discuss online activities

​

Talk to your kids! Keep an open line of communication and make sure that they feel comfortable turning to you when they have problems online.

SAFE FROM ABDUCTION

Generations of parents have told their children "Don't talk to strangers" and considered the job done. It's a dangerous and outdated assumption. "Parents need to do more. And they can," says Kenneth Wooden, founder, and president of CHILD LURES PREVENTION, a sexual abuse and abduction prevention program based in Shelburne, Vermont. GO HERE to read this very informative article to learn how to help your child to avoid abduction and abuse.
