NCR-Warning For Parents-Please Read

Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a
telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and you will be
given the person's name and address. If you then hit Map you will get a
map to the person's house.. Everyone should be aware of this! It's a
nationwide reverse telephone book.

If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up
to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious, and
alarming!!!

Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. I tried my
number and it came up along with the mapquest and directions straight
to our house. I did fill out the removal form for myself, and encourage
all of you to do the same. Quite scary!

Please look up your own number!!!!!!!

In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: Google (
http://www.google.com/ ) Type your phone number in the search bar (i.e.
555-555-1212) and hit enter. If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging
your private information, simply click on your telephone number and
then click on the Removal Form. Removal takes 48-hours.

Check your own number and (although this may not apply to you if you
have an unlisted number or cell phone as primary contact).

You may know someone else who needs to know this.!

It takes Sex Offenders right to your front door!!
