It's not worth it. Some sex offenders in states that post specific information have been upset about their photos and addresses being posted, said Lt. Thomas Turner of the Virginia State Police, whose Web registry of 8,700 sex offenders has gotten 6 million searches in two years. However, he said, the calls to him run 40 to 1 in favor of keeping the information on the site. And it's not only parents who use it.
Employers can see if job applicants are listed.
Women have called Turner and said they discovered through the site that their boyfriends had a history of sex crimes. The ones you've really got to worry about are the ones who aren't on the Internet, who haven't been apprehended yet.
