A PARENT HOW CAN I TELL IF A PERSON IS A SEX OFFENDER?

Nebraska Sex Offender Registry
Sex offenders have always been in our communities. There is no typical sex offender. Stereotypes often are not true. Most offenders are known to victims and are often put in a position of trust with their victim. Parents should be cautious about people who spend a lot of time with children in the absence of other adults or who spend more time with children than with other adults. They should also be aware of a person that frequently wants to take their child alone on vacations or other trips.
