We'll Get You! 161 Registered Sex Offenders Live Near Somer

The day after Somer Thompson's body was identified, authorities said they had ruled out all 161 registered sex offenders who lived within a 5-mile radius of Somer's home. 

The list of registered sex offenders has given us the false impression that their children are safe. With experience and statistics, we have estimated that only one in ten child predators ever enters the legal system. On Dateline, a series To Catch a Predator aired for three years. With adults posing as children they lured online predators to come to see them when they were supposedly home alone.  Chris Hansen was astounded to find that only 5-10% were already in the legal system. 

Registered predators are only the tip of the iceberg. To create safe environments for children each of us must learn to recognize those who mean our children harm. You must know how to recognize behavior that means danger. Use Yello Dyno's Red Flags created by law enforcement experts to learn how to spot child predators. If you know someone who meets 2 or 3 of these red flags be sure to take a closer look.

Children For Sale

This had been a topic few have wanted to address. It's too painful. But now our lost children are coming home. 

The FBI in conjunction with the Department of Justice Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children launched the Innocence Lost National Initiative. Their combined efforts were aimed at addressing the growing problem of domestic sex trafficking of children in the United States.

To date, these groups have worked successfully to rescue over 575 children. Investigations have successfully led to the conviction of more than 300 pimps, madams, and their associates who exploit children through prostitution. These convictions have resulted in lengthy sentences including multiple 25-year-to-life sentences and the seizure of real property, vehicles, and monetary assets. Read on..

Elation Greets Recovery of 2 Boys After Abduction. Why Didn't Shawn Go Home?

Abducted four years ago, Shawn Hornbeck was held captive just a few miles from home. He had a cell phone and access to the Internet. Everyone asks, "Why didn't he try to contact someone to help him? Past cases have revealed that children are silenced by their abductor's intimidation and the fear of retribution for themselves as well as their loved ones. It is painfully apparent that no adult can be with a child every hour of the day, which is why it is so important for children to be taught how to avoid and/or deal with such situations. A similar situation recently had a very different outcome - see "Attempted Abduction" news report below.

(HeraldTribune.com) Union, MO., Jan. 13 -- On Thursday evening, they were captives in the same tiny two-bedroom apartment in suburban St. Louis. Abducted four years apart, William Ownby and Shawn Hornbeck were freed on Friday, and they smiled sheepishly on Saturday as their families held back-to-back news conferences to discuss their boys' astonishing rescue.
