A Tragedy Prevented


watch out for a local sex offender
Brock had used a website called Cellphone Registry one time to find out who the owner was of a cell number he had found in his briefcase.  It had been scrawled on a napkin and must have been there forever because he had totally forgotten where it came from.  After finding out about this website through a search online, he had found out that the number was from a client that he'd worked with several months prior.  After using the website that one time, he had forgotten about it - until it was his turn to take the kids to the park.

Jesse was a four year old with limitless energy and Laura was a thirteen year old that had just started begging her dad to allow her to wear fingernail polish.  Their mother and Brock's wife had a meeting and it was his day to spend time with the kids.  In the middle of running around the slide to catch Jesse and keep him from putting a frog on another little girl, Brock had a phone call.  It was an important client that couldn't wait, so he told Laura to watch Jesse and he went to the bench to answer the call.

The client was particularly rattled and kept Brock distracted on the phone longer than he'd planned to be.  He ruffled through his briefcase to find papers that he could reference for the client in order to explain a point and by the time he got off the phone, half an hour had passed.  Of course, he had glanced up at the children, but seeing that they were still there and playing, he hadn't worried.

On the way home, Laura became upset.  Brock tried to find out why and was absolutely floored and outraged when he did find out.  While he was on the phone, a man had come to the fence on the other side of the park.  He had called Laura over and talked to her for a minute.  He told her that she was very pretty and that he would like to talk to her more.  Laura described the man as 'really old, like Grandpa.'  She was extremely upset and said that the man had said she would make a good girlfriend.  He had given her a piece of paper with a cell phone number on it and told her to call him.  

Brock saw completely red and after dropping the kids off at home, he returned to the park and looked around.  Of course, the man was nowhere to be found.  Just then, Brock remembered the cell phone number and the website.  Speeding home, he went to CellphoneRegistry and entered the number.  Although the man had thought he was being smart to give the girl a cell phone number, Brock found his name instantly.  Disturbingly, he also found his criminal records and found out he was a convicted local sex offender.  He immediately called the police, and the man was arrested.  Brock couldn't have been more thankful that this website had stopped this man from harassing or doing worse things to other girls Laura's age.  Brock never took another call at the park again, either.

Secrets Discovered: 5 Reasons They Should Be

Most people face a time in their life when they sense that something is not right, but they don’t know what it is.  It is usually a difficult time when someone in their life is doing something wrong, or it may be the need to know if something is wrong in a person’s life.  Hiring a private investigation service may be an option.  These are reasons for secrets to be discovered.

Sex outside of marriage

Sex outside of marriage is an issue that many parents face with their teenagers.  Suddenly a teen becomes very preoccupied with his parents’ schedule and wants to know what they will be doing each day and when they will be home.  Parents may have noticed that the teen has singled out just one person of the opposite sex and spends as much time as possible with them.

Fear of STDs and possible parenthood cause the parent to question the relationship.  In most cases, the teen denies they are sexually active.  What can a parent do to discover the truth?

Infidelity in marriage

Infidelity in marriage is another reason that makes it necessary for secrets to be discovered.  Things begin to change in little ways, and the faithful spouse begins to take notice.  The unfaithful spouse will no longer look their spouse in the eye when they talk, they start staying away from home for longer periods of time with lame excuses, they have an increased interest in their appearance and may even purchase new clothing, there is a notable decline in their desire for intimacy and money is spent for unexplained items.  It’s time for the faithful spouse to start a private investigation.

Criminal record

Many people do everything in their power to hide their criminal record, especially when they want to marry someone or want to be hired for a job.  It is becoming more and more important for people to find out who a person really is before they begin a relationship with them or hire them for a job.  Knowing ahead of time what will have to be faced can be a big help in a relationship.

Involvement in things they shouldn’t be involved in

It has become quite common for individuals to be involved in things they shouldn’t be involved in.  Things like drugs and thievery are two things people seldom admit.  A sudden unwillingness to talk and the desire to be by themselves are often telltale signs that something is wrong.  It’s time for secrets to be discovered by using private investigation tools.
