Do You Know Your Neighbor?

If you watched the news or read the paper lately, then you will (if you haven't yet realized) find that the world we live in is a very dangerous and mysterious place. Everyday, people are being kidnapped, murdered or robbed .Children are being molested and drug dealers are taking over our neighborhoods. The funny thing about the last two sentences I wrote, many of these so called criminals or thugs happen to be our neighbors. I know if you happen to be reading this you may say I live in a high end neighborhood , I live in the country or that I live a quiet community. Or you may say I know my neighbor or neighbor very well and there is no way they could be criminals. If you really feel that way, please answer these questions honestly. When was the last time you went on-line and visited the sex offenders site or when was the last time you viewed the most wanted list in your local post office? Don't you realize that some criminals live in high end neighborhoods and many of them happen to be the very same people you think you know? The fact is many people have been surprised to find that their neighbors were child predators, killers, rapist  and drug dealers. While you are at ease at home, these criminals are out plotting their next crime. As scary as this thought maybe, the question still remains, do you really know your neighbor? Do you? Take some sound advice look online, then find out if your neighbor happens to be a registered sex offender or worse a wanted criminal. My mother would always say, knowledge is power. Which means the more you know the safer you and your family could be.
