I came across the Family Watchdog website today. At this site you can put in your address and it will pull up a map indicating the number of registered sex offenders residing near your home. After pulling up the map, you can access photographs of the registered sex offenders.

I was shocked to see 4 within 1 mile of my home! Check it out.

The American Bar Association’s Commission on Domestic Violence has published a very helpful resource which contains safety tips for victims of domestic violence. It includes practical tips for protecting your children and yourself at home, at work, and elsewhere.

The document can be downloaded for free here.

Thanks to Ben Stevens of the South Carolina Family Law Blog for the tip.
