I created this lens to support the Polly Klaas® Foundation. You can help, too.
Help the Polly Klaas® Foundation find missing children, prevent children from going missing, and pass laws like Amber Alert that help keep children safe. Build a lens for them at the Polly Klaas® Foundation Headquarters on Squidoo or visit the Polly Klaas® Foundation website.
The Megan Law
Information on the Megan Law
Thanks to the Megan law, Law Enforcement is allowed to give out information on all Sexual Predators and Sex Offenders living in your area. Each Jurisdiction will handle this differently. Every state is required by Federal law to have a Megan Law which requires Sexual Predators and Sex Offenders to register their current address with Law Enforcement. Some of My Favorite Things Are...

The Megan Law
In Florida a Sexual Predator and Sex Offender has to update their drivers license address every time they move. If they fail to register it is a third degree felony. This provides Law Enforcement with a current address and photo. The Megan Law
The Broward County Sheriff's Office in Florida notifies the Community when a Sexual Predator moves into a neighborhood. At this time they also notify the community of all sex offenders living within the area they live. In 2004, there was over 1043 Sexual Offenders living in Broward County. There is no way we could notify everyone every time a sex offender moves. The Megan Law
When I was in Broward County there were only 39 Sexual Predators living within Broward County. After 3 years there are 82 Sexual Predators living in Broward County. The number usually changes slightly every month. Sexual Predators moving or going back to jail. Great Stuff on Amazon

The difference in a Sexual Predator and a sex offender is two things. Of course, I am referring to Florida because that is where I lived and worked. You will have to check your States Law, if you live outside of Florida. But In Florida, a Court has to declare a Person a Sexual Predator. This is done by a Judge and only a Judge can declare someone a Sexual Predator. The Judge decides this at sentencing by using two criteria. First, If He was sentenced to a Life Felony or a First Degree Felony. The Second, if he is a repeat offender(Repeat Offender means he has been sentenced under Florida law after Oct. 01, 1993 for a Sex Offense or related Offense). New Text / Write module
A Sex Offender can be more dangerous than a Sexual Predator if his mind set hasn't been changed. Remember Steven Stayner, The person who abducted him is only a Registered Sex Offender living in California. If the person hasn't changed his thought pattern he is just as dangerous as any Sexual Predator. I have conducted many Sexual Predator Meetings and this is one of the things that motivated me to write this. I see most people don't know what to tell there children or to tell them how to stay safe. Most people want to scare the children into being frightened and I believe that is one of the worst things you can do. Teach them the basics and teach them how to stay safe. Great Stuff on Amazon
