This is not a pleasant subject to deal with, but we all know that when sex offenders are caught, one of the conditions of their release is they have to register so that authorities will always know when and where they are and where they live and work. Do you know where they are in your Miller or Bowie County neighborhood? Maybe you should.

This world seems to get more dangerous every single day, crime is on the rise all over the country. Shootings, murders, assaults, and rape are all statistics that are going up just about everywhere. Some call it "Human trafficking," but I believe in a lot of cases, that's just a nicer term for sex trafficking. People are getting snatched up off the streets in this country every day and then they just simply vanish. Some get abducted by individuals, and others end up in large sex trafficking organizations, shouldn't we all be, at the very least, aware of convicted sex offenders nearby?

The question is where do you go to find out this information? The answer is below.
