There is nothing more important than being safe. Right now sex offenders are everywhere and we can never predict what will happen to us. We should always take certain actions for this not to happen and not just relying on other people to do it for yourself.. As for me, I found a safety application on android phone that helps me track sex offenders on my phone, and just a click on a panic button and it could automatically create a conference call to a 24/7 call center, a safety network and could escalate a call to a nearest 911 if it's a real emergency, check this site out for more
