Live in a nice neighborhood and you will not have to worry. Those who need to worry most are those who become familiar with people who live a lose lifestyle.

There are low-life people everywhere. There are also nice people everywhere.

I live in a decent neighborhood (not the fanciest, but decent enough... lots of retirees and middle-class families) and I looked up the sex offender/predator registree. Result: NONE within a sizable radius from my community.
It all depends on where you live.

Right, middle-class usually denotes an area away from the danger, not always, but often. There are some big urban areas where you have to contend with some, although that is part of urban life.

Sexual predators aren't confined to certain socio-economic categories. They're everywhere from the country club set to religious leaders to middle class "joes" and welfare recipients....and to suggest otherwise is delusional.

The income level of the area has nothing to do with it. Just put our rental property address in Doctor Phillips into the search engine and came up with 87 within 5 miles, one of whom used to be our lawn guy.

I didn't say anything about income... "retirees and middle-class families" aren't particularly singling out a specific income-level group.

That said, you are less likely to be surrounded by a bunch of sex offenders in a decent neighborhood versus your lower-class community rampant with jailbirds. Actually, switch the term "offenders" with "predators."

No worries ... switch my income level phrase with upper-middle class families and you get the drift.

Well, my girlfriend's brother is on the registry.

Too many with heads in the sand. Not even the show "to catch a predator". opened your eyes. There is a huge human trafficking problem. Not smuggling- trafficking! Most are underage children for sex. Who do you think is buying? The poor drug addict under the bridge?
Do you understand takes wealth to buy humans? A lot end up in videos called child porn. Multimillion dollar industry. Almost every week you hear of the teacher, priest, Doctor who messed with a child one way or another. Do not be fooled- it is not a poverty or low class issue! Difference - the rich have money to cover up their deeds. Most just have no clue who their neighbor might just be. countries in Central America some of the rich tourist come to prey on the poor kids 24/7 and they pay off any local police. It is well known. Poor people under bridges do not travel . Now once life is ruined. They certainly end up there as they lose all support. I have no sympathy. And the teen thing/ courts sort that out most times.
