In a neighborhood in South Carolina, A mom and her three kids lived in a nice neighborhood. The man who lived next door would often come out and talk to her over the fence. The woman noticed that her daughter enjoyed talking to the man as well. Several times she watched the man laughing at her daughter's 8 year old jokes over the fence. For some unknown reason, it made the hair on the back of her neck stand up.
After a couple more times of watching her daughter talk to this man over the fence, the mother informed her daughter that she was not to stand outside and speak to the man anymore. When her daughter asked why, she didn't have a reply. In fact, she even asked herself what made her feel so strange about the man talking to her daughter. He had been nothing but nice and probably just felt sorry for the little ones losing their dad the way they did. Without trying to alarm her daughter, the mom simply told her that it wasn't polite to hold the man up all day, chatting and bothering him.
Searching on the web one day, the mother came across a website called :
http://www.knowaboutthem.com/
The site piqued the mother's interest and she had a thought. Knowing the next door neighbor's name, she decided to check him out.
She typed in the name and within seconds she was directed to a page full of information Relating to the Name of This very 'nice' man. In fact, she received an offer to obtain Local and National Criminal and Civil Records. It turns out that a few years ago; this man was convicted of touching a child for sexual purposes.
The mother was absolutely horrified. She could not believe what she was reading and that no one had told her anything!!
Deciding it must be a mistake, she checked the local sex offender list and sure enough, he was there. The mother alerted the police that the man had been speaking with her daughter, and They Responded Immediately to Counsel the man Directly as well as Inform Her that the "Incident" was a Violation of State Law Concerning his Release Conditions and appropriate Legal Actions would be taken .
She was so thankful that the website had been there and that she had been feeling strangely about him. Without those two things, she didn't want to think about what might have eventually happened.
If you are suspicious about someone, please do what this mother did and check it out. You never know what kind of tragedy you can prevent.
