I was shocked when I read the June 11th Des Moines News about four "Level Three" sex offenders living about two blocks from me.

I am a single woman living alone so a neighbor had warned me about the one (not four) living at this location.

At the same time I asked her if she knew about the one "Level Three" living next door to her. She had not. He has since moved.

About four months ago a friend had emailed me the website, familywatchdog.us and I found this one on our cul-de-sac.

I had talked with several other neighbors; none know he was a sex offender.

No one saw or received any bulletins. I did not even see a bulletin about these four.

There needs to be a better way of getting word out to the public, especially the neighbors of the sex offenders.

There is a wooded walking trail that goes right by the offenders' home. It would not be safe to walk it.
