Perhaps use this opportunity to review what you're doing as a parent to keep your kid(s) safe, and what you're teaching your kid(s) so that they can be as safe as possible when they aren't in your presence. Past that, IMO, you don't do anything.

I feel like I went through the same general exercise when I was married and my wife found the online sex offender registry and started to obsessively search through it in our area. You want to use that as a reminder that the world can be scary and evaluate the things you're teaching your kids, fine. Too much past that and you'll go crazy with worry yourself, or risk becoming an oppressive parent that isn't allowing your child to grow up and experience things in life.
