A MAJOR DILEMMA
what is your stance on paroled sex offenders?
what would you do in a situation like this?
the jist:
My children attend an elementary in Pico Rivera, California. Their father also maintains a house there, that they live in 1/2 the time. Yesterday I received a letter from the kids school from Chuck Fuentes, City Manager of the City of Pico Rivera. It was informing parents & citizens that there was a community meeting THAT NIGHT at 6:30PM in City Hall. (click HERE for a typed copy of said letter)
It seems that State Parole Officers have been placing paroled & transient sex offenders in our cities motels and moving them EVERY 4 DAYS to avoid having to register them with our local authorities.
These sex offenders are being released & housed in our city WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE. I believe that this violates existing state laws requiring sex offenders to be housed at least 1/2 a mile from schools. This practice most definitely leaves our city at risk.
I think that this is criminal.
And I'm also miffed and frankly disturbed that I received this notice with little more than 4 hours notice from the city about this meeting. And because so, I was not able to attend. I have 4 children. There is no way I can find emergency sitters at such short notice.
I can't believe that this city that I have entrusted with not only the education of my children, but their general well being & safety, would be so negligent in allowing this practice to occur. And that they would hinder their response to public outcry with a measly 4 HOUR notice to their citizens about such a "hot button" topic.
I am appalled & aghast, to say the least. I am thoroughly disgusted with the State Parole Officers & their handling of this situation. It sickens me to know that they are allowing such vile degenerates to freely hop about my city, without my knowledge...hell, without ANYONE'S knowledge.
so....my dear readers.....
WHAT WOULD YOU DO???
