October 2009 Archives

It's the most wonderful time of the year.....

Well, not when you find receipts for items purchased at Victoria's Secret or the local jewelry store and then don't find the corresponding gift under the tree.

Where there is smoke - there is fire.  If you think you have a problem you probably do - otherwise you would be thinking of sugarplums and pumpkin pie instead.  Unless you usually have voices in your head, then that is another blog for another day and a different kind of DNA test altogether. 

Infidelity is an ugly thing with far reaching affects on an individual and a family.  I've personally never understood why you can't just be honest and say - honey, I love you but I'm just not a one woman man or I'm just not a one man woman... whatever, today's society doesn't care or judge so why not just be honest about your intentions. Learned recently you are judged by your actions, not by your intentions...

Whatever  your circumstances, it is often wise to be discreet and make no claims or judgment until you have facts in hand.  If you are able to safely approach the offender with a DNA test in hand, stating it is not your DNA, it is your DNA or there is DNA here and why is it here - you have a better chance of getting an honest answer.  As always, be prepared to deal with emotions and unexpected responses.  Did you find an article that has a substance or stain on it that should not be?  Would you like to determine if strange DNA is showing up in places it ought not to?  Would you like to compare the DNA found somewhere to that of your spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend/better half/other half?   

While most DNA testing centers concentrate on family relationship (paternity) tests, many also offer infidelity testing.  DNA can be obtained from almost any article - although depending on age and storage - not all DNA produces a profile for comparison.  It is always best to ask your local DNA collector for advice on how to collect or store an item that you want to test for "unknown" DNA.  To begin with, always store the item in an envelope or paper bag - do not store items to be tested for DNA in plastic.

Why go through another holiday, wondering what he bought "her" or how much she spent on "the other guy".  Get confirmation via DNA testing today and spend the holidays without the added stress.  Infidelity is like the big elephant in the room - everyone knows it is happening but no one wants to say anything because it is "the holidays".      
The DNA Lady just performed another free search on the Family Watchdog site.  The following zipcodes were entered for a listing of registered sex offenders.  As we get closer to Halloween, please remember to safeguard your ghouls and goblins.  Always send children out in groups preferably with a parent, never allow children to enter homes or apartment building and always check their bag of treats. 

07001 - Avenue, NJ                       9 Registered Sex Offenders
08901 - New Brunswick, NJ          30 Registered Sex Offenders

This is just a short list.  Go to the site and enter your own zipcode and obtain more information on these offenders.  Most crimes are committed within a "comfort" zone of the perpetrator.  Check archived entries of the DNA Lady's blog for listings of Registered Sex Offenders in your neighborhood.  Let's stop the "not on my block thinking" and safeguard our children from these perpetrators. 

Host a CSI Party and earn $$$ for the holidays or a free DNA profile of your child.

or come in and have your child's DNA profile painlessly taken as a measure of safety using today's most up to date technology.

A parent or legal guardian must be present for all minor children.  A certificate with your child's DNA profile, digital photograph and relevant information that may be asked by an authority at the time of emergency are included.

We encourage parents and legal guardians to participate in your local municipalities "Stranger Danger" exercises but offer DNA Safeguarding as a unique and 21st method to secure your children.  



Using DNA to Safeguard your Children

With all the news about the young lady kidnapped in California years ago and the authorities just now finding her in the backyard of a Registered Sex Offender, everyone has heightened awareness of safeguarding their children.  When the news starts to dwindle and is no longer in the headlines or part of TV Talk shows, we will all go back to our daily lives and continue with the thinking "well this won't happen in my neighborhood".

Check this out - Family Watchdog, a national registry for Sex Offenders lists over 40 Sex Offenders in the Edison, Metuchen, East Brunswick, Iselin, Scotch Plains, Plainfield and Cranford, New Jersey zipcodes as follows:

08817 Edison has 4 Registered Sex Offenders
08840 Metuchen has 1 Registered Sex Offender
08820 Edison has 3 Registered Sex Offenders
08830 Iselin has 4 Registered Sex Offenders
07090 Westfield has 2 Registered Sex Offenders
07060 Scotch Plains/Plainfield has 22 Registered Sex Offenders
07016 Cranford has 3 Registered Sex Offenders
08816 East Brunswick has 5 Registered Sex Offenders

Family Watchdog is a free search using your zipcode.  If your zipcode is not listed above go to the site and find the number of Registered Sex Offenders in your area. 

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children advises that every parent should have a DNA profile of their child.  While DNA will  not find a missing child or loved one, it will assist the authorities in their search.  If you have already taken a paternity test, then you have a record of your child's DNA profile.   

Your local DNA collector probably offers some type of DNA Profile or Safeguarding Feature that can be done privately in their office or at your home. 

Why not host a DNA Child Safety Identification Party of your own.  Call you local DNA Collections expert and find out how to set up an afternoon of DNA collection and child identification certificates.

The DNA Lady owns a local DNA collection facility in Metuchen, New Jersey offering DNA tests to confirm paternity, maternity,siblingship, and avuncular relationships.  DNA testing is also used in Infidelity and Forensic cases.  DNA testing is painless and private and most importantly has become an affordable consumer friendly service.
