In a post about porn at the library someone posted a link to the sex offender registry which lists registered sex offenders, where they live and work, and what they were convicted of. At first I was simply appalled by how many lived so close to me and my family but when I started looking closer I became more concerned about a bigger problem. In the small county I live in alone there is 4 cases that troubled me to the point that I started researching into this problem and I was suprised about how little thought is put into this(I honestly had not thought about it until recently myself.) In Shelby County Indiana alone there is one man who was convicted of possesion of child pornography and soliciting a minor who was just released from prison in Feb of this year and he is working a Burger King. Another man has a record of convictions for 3 different counts of child molestation and has served a big part of his adult life in prison only to now be working at the County Fairgrounds (there is a job that keeps him close to children) Almost every fast food resturaunt in town had a child molestor or rapist working for them!
It seems that most companies don't bother to check the backrounds of the people they are hiring. Now this wouldn't be so bad but places that cater to and advertise toward children, such as fast food resturaunts, should be concerned about the welfare of their customers. Hiring offenders, or for that matter repeat offenders, who have proven themselves to be dangerous to our children is irresponsible.
So why do I need help? Well I'm mad that this is silent and I'm even more upset that nobody seems to care enough to try and do something. I'm attempting to change that. I want to get a list together of as many of these fast food chains and other companies that cater to children, that are irresponsible in their hiring of employess. I'm asking for people to help me with research first. If people can post these people working around children here it would help me a lot. I've already contacted local news and I've actually got enough parents in the area who are mad considering boycotting the resturants and fair until the act responsibly. I eventually would like to get nationall boycotts of these companies to force them to be responsible. I also intend on writing my representives in congress pushing for legislation that would prevent sex offenders from having jobs that put them in contact with children or places that employee a lot of people under the age of 18. There are too many jobs in factories or other places that these perverts can work and be away from my children, they don't need to be working at McDonalds or the fairgrounds.
You can check the sex offender registry here, http://www.nsopr.gov/ Please check your area and see where the sexual predators in your area are working. Write local news and get the news out. These people are dangerous and don't need to be around our children. I sincerly fell that lack of action is nothing less than allowing it to happen to the next child.

: What about family members who molest their own siblings or children? What do you do about that to protect your child? 
All we can do is educate our children and pray that it sticks and they are not fallen victim when we least expect it. I still, to this day, have trouble clearing my mind of the thoughts of second husband messing with my daughter. She denies it but I still have trouble with those thoughts creeping in and haunting me. Too many clues were there. I am haunted for the rest of my life. The only rest I have is in Looking to God for respite from the thoughts when they attack. No one said this life would be easy and free of the devils attempts to harm us. He comes to kill steal and destroy, remember? :-? It is up to us to Keep our children educated and never leave them alone while they are at so vulnerable of an age. I was left alone at too young of an age and I didn't have any education on the matters of those who come to prey on young children. Why I didn't know to protect myself at the age of 11 after having been molested twice before, I don't know.
