President GW Bush has signed into law a bill creating a National Sex Offender Registry. The law is called "Adam's Law" after Adam Walsh, who was abducted 25 years ago on July 27, 1981, and then found murdered subsequently. Adam's father, John Walsh, became the host of "America's Most Wanted" to make a difference and reduce the number of criminals who are walking the streets.
