I am a mom of two little one's and it is sad to know that we find out what is going on week's late.As mom's and dad's we all should know this kind of stuff is going on first hand.The police need to let us know as soon as they know..
I am hosting a town meeting for tonight july 10th at 7 p.m for all concerned parents regarding these abduction attempts. Local law enforcement will be there to answer any questions and discard any rumors, also attending will be local media crews . everyone is welcome to attend and sign up for the neighborhood watch. thanks.
Why do parents have to wait over a week to accidentally read this blurb, you'd think it'd be plastered as front page news in our small town. I'm disgusted with the lack of public notice, especially with our PD. Had the children been in school I can assure you announcements would have come home the day the FIRST attempt happened, we at least have a caring principal! Better to over alert than under, when it comes to our youth! I'm sure if a Buc football teammate got a sprained ankle we'd have known in minutes on every channel and all print, disgusting!
