Big news today about a 29 year old sex offender that posed as a 12 year old boy to register in 2 Arizona public schools. He spent months living as a 12 year old, hanging out with all the other children in the school, while he planned his next lewd act. On a side note that has a hint of humor to this story; Neil Havens convinced another man that he was indeed a 12 year old and had the older man register him at school. All the while these men lived together in a sexual relationship.
This story disturbs me, as a parent, on so many levels. EVERY public school should be required to go through further detailed steps to ensure that our children are in an environment free of sex offenders on campus. I’m sure, or at least I hope, that these Arizona schools are tightening their security.
