A recent news article caught my eye in Ohio, when a 24 year old mom and her 3 year old daughter went missing.  It happens the individual with them is currently wanted by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction's Adult Parole Authority for violations of his supervision.  The mom's alleged boyfriend, 27 year old male, was released from prison in Ohio and on the same day walked away from the halfway house and now a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Robbi Douglas Potter, is a Tier III sex offender released on May 28, 2009 after serving time for a third-degree felony conviction for sexual battery of a minor.  Candace Watson, 24 mother of Haylee Elizabeth, age 3, are both believed to have been taken against their will.  Candace's mother told police she was concerning for the safety of her daughter and granddaughter.

From a posting on Candace's MySpace page they could possibly be camping in the southern part of Ohio.  If anyone has information concerning the disappearance of Haylee, please contact the Crestline Police Department at 419-683-2222. An amber alert has not been issued in this case.

The above case lead me to another trend coming to light.  Today on www.momlogic.com an article was posted entitled: Beware! Child Predators are Targeting Moms. 

Predators have now found another way to get to children through their moms, by using parenting websites and forums.  Lori Getz, author of the article has some great advice and examples of how this is done by the luring predators.  Use the parenting websites and forums to gain the information you need, but don't use these websites to meet new people even if they have helped you out and never ever introduce your kids to someone who may be helpful to you from a website.
