      Josh smith, you should probably stay anonymous in comments if this nature. With that said, I agree. He won’t be a problem anymore if I find him.

    Was just day at lunch while kids had open campus there were kids huddled around vehicles talking with some people in truck vaping etc . Seem like places like this with alot of unattended kids is a hot spot for trafficking . now . Might need a attendance ck in when returning to school in case someone goes missing.. because waiting til kid doesn’t show up at home after school would be hours difference ..

    Just get on isp s**ual predator search, they are everywhere. Problem is the judges and court systems dont put them away for good the first time! Just like all the meth heads running around. its a revolving door. No bail now because thats racist? lol! There is no answer to this. Voting does nothing because half the population ARE scumbags or braindead democrats or socialists, welcome to the new America courtesy of greed and his brother stupidity. Our great great grandfathers had it right. just hang them!

    A vigilant public can help police track these people down. Obviously hundreds of eyes are better than a small police force with many duties. As they say if you see something say something. Use facebook as a tool rather than a gossip site

    No offense Charlie; but how is this FAKE news when they have a photo and multiple witnesses field a report ? Get your facts right. Source things out properly. People are always so opinionated and they don’t comprehend the difference between facts and opinions.
