It's Kind of Like Asking a Sex Offender Home for Dinner

So here's the thing.  I get it parents.  You are proud of your kids.  You totally should be, but quite frankly some of you are just asking a sex offender to come to your house after they spot you at the local Wally-world.  Now I know that most of you are gasping in disgust and calling me all sorts of nasty names under your breath...and yeah, I am a bitch, but for once my bitchiness could be construed as more of a PSA and less of a blindly lashing out at others (as I am sometimes wont to do).

Now, I hear your question "What on EARTH could I, a good parent, be doing that would warrant such an accusation?"  Well I'm going to tell you...you are advertising on the back of your minivan, SUV, family friendly car that you live in a certain school district combined with a family schematic you put there too....with names...and your dog.  Basically you are letting all the pedophiles, perverts, and other unsavory folks who see you and your cute kiddies at the store WHERE your kids go to school, what their names are, what sports teams they play on, and what the dog's name is.  So basically, you're asking the sex offender to come to your house...it's easy for them to find it, because your car lists everything they might need to know.

Aw I love the stick figure families, but I'm totally cheesy like that.

I like to think the world is all bubbles, glitter and kittens and don't like to think that there's probably 3 to 4 sex offenders within a half mile radius of my apartment, lol

I feel the same way about parents who feel the need to monogram their kids' names on everything. How is it to get a pretty young girl to stop and talk to you when you already know her name and what sport she plays?

I actually had a sex offender client who admitted that he would see families with these stickers and then go hang around at baseball/football, etc games to scope out the kids. Totally gave me the creeps.
