The current reports show that over 40 million people have used online dating as a way to begin a relationship with the many love stories and long lasting relationship created that we have all seen on TV.  That amounts to about 1 out of every 8 people have used online dating.  Take away the older generation of baby boomers that account for a very small portion of those users and you are getting closer to 1 in 5.  Amazing from an industry that just a few years ago was considered taboo and it is increasingly growing.

Another report by Online Schools that is shocking as well:

• 1 in 10 sex offenders reported going online to get dates

That is REPORTED.  As many of us know in dealing with convicted felons and sex offenders on a daily basis, for some reason many do not always tell the total truth, but some variation, so that number is possibly much higher.

The good news is Raptor provides an instant screening service that allows for quick screening against the sex offender registries at a very reasonable price.  Wendy Murphy, a former prosecutor who specialized in child abuse and sex crimes commented on CNN last night that,"Raptor Technologies is very good at being proactive about giving people the technology to be able to do this".
