Tracking Sex Offenders

Lynchburg, VA - We're continuing to give you tools to protect your family after a teenager in Campbell County was almost abducted this week.

One thing investigators are doing to track down the attacker is searching the registered sex offender data base. You can do it too. There are plenty of web sites out there that will map them for free.

Family Watchdog is one of them-- it has pictures, lists their convictions and even color codes them based on the severity of their crimes.

You can even receive alerts when a registered predator moves within five miles of your home.
