Family Watchdog : Sex Offender Registry

A while ago MakeUseOf profiled Felonspy, a website we believed that aimed to help people find convicted felons residing in the neighborhood areas. After a number of comments it became clear that the website was bogus and full of crap.

This time we would like to introduce to you Family Watchdog: a national sex offender registry where you can search for nearby sex offenders and get a map view of their adresses.

Important: Harassing anyone on the offender registry database is a misdemeanor and can be punished both by a fine and jail time.

Features:

• Lookup sex offenders by name or search by location (US only).
• Get map view of registered nearby offenders, see their photos, distance from your zipcode, exact addresses and conviction details.
• Get a free email or text alerts when an offender moves near you.
• Accessible from any web-enabled mobile phone.
• Read safety tips for parents and children.
• Coming soon: Receive alert notifications on your voicemail when an offender moves near you.
• For more information and questions go to service FAQ section here.
