Are you a single parent who is involved in online dating? If so, I caution you to not introduce your children to anyone you meat while dating online until you do a background check on them.
According to Joe Tracy, Publisher of Online Dating Magazine which is a consumer watchdog for online dating, “there are some sexual predators and sex offenders who specifically use online dating services to target single parents who are dating online in order to get to their kids. It doesn’t happen a lot, but it does happen.”
It is better to be safe than sorry. Below are links to sex offender registries, I hope you will use them:
