I don't know about the rest of you, but having 2 children we have always kept a pretty close eye on the **** offenders list since it has been around. Over the years there have been a few in our neighborhood and it has always been good to know who they are and what they have been charged with.
So the other day I am doing my periodic check and noticed that instead of the normal 20 or so in my zip code it has mysteriously grown suddenly to around 50. As i weed through them i notice all the new arrivals have the same address, a
drug treatment center
which isn't even in my zip code. So i go to the neighboring zip that the
drug treatment center
is in and there is another 70 new arrivals with the same address. That makes about 100 that showed up in a month. So i go to the State Dept. of Corrections website and start cross referencing the names and these guys were all paroled in the last month.
I have corresponded with a reporter from the local newspaper (actually a large circulation, 213k) and she is supposed to be checking in to what is going on and why all these scum of the earth have showed up in our community. The majority aren't even from this county. So hopefully i will soon be able to link to a news story. My next stop is the city government.
This
drug treatment center
is right next door to a bowling alley, movie theater complex and Bally's fitness center all frequented by potential victims. To say the least my daughter won't be "dropped off" at the movie theater anytime soon.
So what i am saying is pay attention to what is going on in your community. No one else has your families best interest in mind.
