As a father of a girl in her early teens, this is good news. Not to sound too paranoid, but there is always a concern. It'll alert me if there are any, or a host pervs living near a park or a friends house that I may drop her off. It wouldn't surprise me if a group of them live close together.
You can bet your bottom dollar that daddy will keep a closer eye on the surroundings.
As much as I can understand parents' concern for the security of their children, the Family Watchdog Service does not convince me.

After all, statistics clearly show that most sexual offences happen within families themselves!
So of what use is it opening hunting season on people we do not even know, when the real danger could actually be lurking in our own homes?
we need to know where they are so we can protect out children and grand-children. please let me know is any are in Marshall county, AL
