Get Smart
Ed Smart, father of Elizabeth, was in North Idaho this week to promote child identification kits. I'm stunned to read this statistic from the article: 800,000 children go missing every year.
That number breaks down to 450,000 runaways, 300,000 family member abductions, and most frightening of all, 58,000 non-family member abductions.
I hadn't heard these numbers before. Now I don't feel so bad for practicing a certain level of extreme caution with my kids.

We have a problem with sex offenders being moved here from across state lines in order for them to "find a job and start a fresh life." (policeman's comment). We now have a four count violent felon a few houses down. It is a nice neighborhood. Or was, before this guy. Here is a link to your state registry. I suggest that all parents should check on a regular basis for updates. You can see exactly how close they live to you and what they look like should you see them around.
