to answer another question...sex offenders are required to register in whatever county of whatever state they live in within 10 days of arrival and within 10 days of any move. that is a federal law and a felony if not done. our local corrections office is currently working hard to update all of the addresses in our sex offender registry.

all i said was that's why you don't leave any man with your daughters. to hear ya'll tell it, i have issues with men, i can't trust men, i said ALL men can't be trusted. somebody feels bad for my husband.
let me explain something to you...it starts at home. i have never told my husband he can't spend time with his daughters alone, etc. i have a loving husband who is a wonderful father. i don't distrust him or sit and watch every little thing he does. although, i am a woman of today's time and i am a realist. i know that most molestations are family members or acquaintances. it's also about teaching your child what is appropriate and inappropriate touching.
let's think people!
