Crime Area Map

[Terry Makin]

I may be over reacting to this posting, but I am disturbed by the fear-based
behaviour suggested here.  Do I or my children need to be afraid of our
neighbours?  What roles am I warming up to if I go the website?  Am I the
only group talker feeling disturbed here?  Is Melbourne so far from
civilisation that I don't understand the realities of life?  Is there a
symbol for irony?  I am being somewhat serious here.
Cheers

Crime Area Map 

I wanted to share a website with you that is a good idea to visit.  It is  
www.familywatchdog. us When you visit this site you can enter your address
and 
a map will pop up with your house as the small icon of a house and red,
blue, 
green, dots surrounding your entire neighborhood. 

When you click on these dots a picture of a person will appear with an
address 
and the description of the crime he or she had committed. I was really
shocked 
at how many of these people were in my neighborhood. The best thing 
is that you can show your children pictures and see how close these people 
live to your home or school. This site was developed by John Walsh from 
Americas Most Wanted. Another tool to help us keep our kids safe. 

Please pass on to anyone who has families!
