A friend of mine emailed me the other day a brand new website that allows you to search for any registered sexual offenders within a 2 mile radius of your home (or whatever address you plug in).

This new website uses the tool OffenderWatch©, which is the nation's leading registered sexual offender management tool with hundreds of agencies utilizing it.  South Carolina uses OffenderWatch© to manage and monitor the whereabouts conduct and compliance status of each and every registered sexual offender in the state.

Being a parent, I find this site tremendously useful.  The one complaint I have is that it only goes up to a 2 mile radius.  We live in a lesser populated area, so homes are spread out a bit further than in the city.  I found three offenders within 2 miles of our home, but I'm sure that there are more closer than I'd like to think.

If you live in South Carolina, then make sure you check it out.  For your sake, I hope you don't find any offenders close to your home!
