I am hoping this article will awaken more people to the fact that knowing if there are sex offenders living near youis very important these days. Especially if you have children. And finding out is easy.
But first, let me tell you a little story. I know a single mother who was looking for a house. Her main requirement was that it had to be safe for her children. After months of looking she found the perfect house on a cul-de-sac in a great neighborhood and the price was right, too.

Close knit communities have less crime, fewer instances of vandalism and are generally happier places to live.

Sluice Pond, fed by the Cedar Brook and natural springs, is one of five ponds located 10 miles Northeast of Boston that meander in a “Strawberry Necklace” through Lynn, MA to the Atlantic. There is a public boat ramp in a northern cove at Briarcliff Lodge that enables the general public to access the pond for boating, fishing and swimming from their boats.
