If you have a Facebook, try searching for any 'news' or 'update' pages in your area. I never realised how many there were in my area before all of this. Now I've realised there are so so many. Or if you know the names of all the papers/news reporting websites around you then you could search them directly. Most Facebook pages will just repost the articles from the news websites anyway.

There is a 'UK database ' website that is not offical- it is run by vigilantes. If you come across this do not search for offenders by name. I'm not sure if this is true but they can track what names are searched for and might peak their interest. I search by area instead.

Tho I believe they get their info from the media. They have no further insight than what would be public info.

Unfortunately my OH is on their database. It is just so cruel to us families.

I just typed his name into google and kept checking.

I will never forget how much my gut sank and the fear that kicked in when I saw the first post.

several weeks on and life is as normal as it could be. Luckily no one has said anything to me. However I have made a point of making my online profiles private and taken my sir name off Facebook etc to protect myself and my girls in preparation.
This is hard enough with it being my ex of 8 years so I feel for anyone who is still with the offender.
