OffenderWatch App

The OffenderWatch family safety app is designed to help parents protect their children from sexual predators targeting them online. The app offers family location sharing, which allows parents to track their children on a map and see if registered sex offenders live nearby. Parents can also search for registered sex offenders by name or address, see the photo and details about an offender, submit-a-tip about the offender, contact local law enforcement, and get an alert should a registered sex offender move in nearby. The app also includes friendly advice and articles about protecting your child at home and online. OffenderWatch has partnered with law enforcement to bring the most complete and correct data on registered sex offenders available. Parents can subscribe to receive alerts should their child get contacted by a registered sex offender by text, phone call, or email. Parents also receive location alerts should their child linger near a registered sex offender’s home. A Protect Plus subscription is just $9.99 per year and covers the entire family. The OffenderWatch app monitors who calls, emails, or messages your child, and tracks the location of your child’s iPhone—working silently in the background and not interfering with the phone’s use. The app uses the most accurate data available, provided directly by the law enforcement agencies who manage registered sex offenders. The app checks to see if a registered sex offender is attempting to contact your child or if your child is lingering near an offender’s address. Parents get alerted if a registered offender contacts their child. They can then ask their child about the communication and talk to them about online safety with people they don’t know in real life. If the contact seems inappropriate or troubling, it is easy to contact law enforcement from the app. Overall, the OffenderWatch family safety app is an effective tool for parents to protect their children from sexual predators targeting them online.
