National Alert Registry Launches RegisteredOffendersList.org to Provide Information on Registered Sex Offenders

May 16, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
DELAND, Florida – May 16, 2005 – The National Alert Registry today announced that in an effort to further protect children from habitual sex offenders, it has launched a new Web site, www.RegisteredOffendersList.org, as a resource on child predation for parents and other responsible adults.

In addition to information on how to protect children from sexual predators, www.RegisteredOffendersList.org provides easy access to detailed information about the locations of registered sex offenders across the country through its “Predator Report” service.

The Predator Reports, also available at www.NationalAlertRegistry.com, provide concerned individuals with names, photos, appearance details, aliases, conviction information, offense dates, detailed maps and the street addresses of registered sex offenders who live in the subscriber’s immediate area. The National Alert Registry also provides a “Red Alert” service that notifies subscribers by email when new offenders move into their neighborhood.

“Research shows that one in three girls and one in six boys will become a victim to a sexual predator, and people just aren’t taking the adequate precautions to protect them,” said Scott Adams, director of the National Alert Registry. “We felt it was important to provide a reliable and accurate medium for parents to become educated and aware of the possible threats in their area. With this knowledge, they can better safeguard their children and hopefully prevent more occurrences of sexual assault.”

To ensure parents and concerned individuals are provided with the most accurate information possible, the Predator Report database (with listings of registered sex offenders in every state) is updated at least once a month. Information obtained from RegisteredOffendersList.org should not be used to harass, threaten or intimidate sex offenders or their families, and the misuse of this information can result in criminal prosecution or civil liability.

“Our goal is to increase awareness of the issue of child predation and protect more children,” Adams said. “Many people will be surprised by just how many registered sex offenders live in close proximity to their homes, schools and communities.”

Parents and other responsible adults can run a free ZIP code-targeted search for the number of registered sexual offenders in their neighborhood by visiting: http://www.RegisteredOffendersList.org. A complete report of sexual offenders within a three-mile radius of a resident’s home can be purchased for $10. Concerned parents can also purchase the Red Alert service that will notify them monthly of any new registered offenders that move into their neighborhood. The Red Alert service is available at a subscription rate of $4.95 per month.
