Sex-offender parents pose dilemma for schools
Boards debate how much access to school grounds they should allow

Oh, hell no.

I would not want a convicted sex-offender anywhere near my child, no less watching my child play sports and be involved in school activites. No. Thank you. Keep the perverts off school grounds.

And I am highly disturbed at the fact that the pervert Cody Mittleider only spent a year in prison for his rape conviction.

I do not care how much he has supposedly changed his life around, or how many therapy classes he participated in- a rapist is a rapist, a molester is a molester. Why they are given second chances, is disgusting and beyond me.

I can not even begin to fathom how ANYONE can support these perverts being around children. I'm a convicted rapist, but I promise I won't rape your child...yeah, oki.
