AGAINST THE GRAIN: Local sex offenders a cause for concern
Posted by: Vicki Siedow in NewsMelinda Kidder, FLIP member, in the news:
I got an email this week from Melinda Kidder, a private detective with a heart for children’s issues.
She told me she came across information on the Internet showing that sex offenders are living and working within 1,000 feet of Columbia schools, preschools and daycare centers. “Isn’t that illegal?” she asked.
“I’m working a child molester case right now, and it just wears me down,” Kidder wrote. “Seeing that these guys and one gal are living close to schools is even more disturbing.”
I was disturbed, too. I did a little digging in an effort to separate fact from fiction.

This is a cause for concern for all children. Thanks so much FLIP for keeping us informed. Many times these predators are networking or there may be a commercial sex link as well. So each one may actually represent a group and not just an individual. With this in mind, it takes everyone in the community to protect children from predators. Parents, grandparents, extended family, employers, teachers, nurses, police, neighbors, private investigators, and many others need to be aware and act.

Not too sure how I found this blog but glad I did find it. Think I was looking for something else on google. Not sure I agree 100% with what you say, but have bookmaked and will pop back to read to see if you add any more posts. Keep up the good work.
