This week, the Sheboygan Press posted the list of over 200 registered sex offenders throughout the County.  The pictures and location are available via many sources on web, but why would the Press feel the need to print an article about it?

There are many reasons that people would think it’s sort of crappy of them to do so, but is it really ok?  There are people on the list that made a mistake years ago and they are on the same list as those who prey on children.  Do you think that is right?

What do I think?

Well, if you made a mistake, you did.  Well all do and there is already a way, or 5, for those that care, to find out your background online.  Do I think the Press needs to be posting this to the readers of the paper and website?  No, I don’t think it’s right.  Just leave it a lone.  There are websites those that are concerned can access for free to find this information out on there own.  There isn’t a single person in the city that doesn’t know there are sex offenders in the city, not one.  The Press cannot say they are doing any type of service considering, everyone knows there are criminals around.

What Are The Sites I Can Access?

Here is a short list of the top results in Google for “find sex offenders”.

• www.familywatchdog.us/
• www.mapsexoffenders.com/
• www.criminalcheck.com/

With those 3 sites to use at our discretion, you should be able to find out anything you want to know about your neighborhood.  You shouldn’t have to read it in the Press every year.  I would have to agree with the masses that there are other things the Press could be reporting on.
