This is how I feel. I'm not sure they solve anything. I am a parent and I worry about my daughter. But I'm not sure this information is useful to me. If an offender moves into my apartment complex do I move?

I live about 2 miles from where Danielle Van Dam was taken. That guy wasn't on any list. And no one thought of him as the weird creepy neighbor till after he was caught.

Plus how many of these guys move around? How often are the lists updated? What about the people who wrongly get labeled because the list is inaccurate?

I'm just not sure as a parent how this helps me.
