  8. I just to say when my kids started school , you know how they love and trust a teacher, I warn them about teachers, janitors, not to ever be alone with any adult for any reason. More than one school?

  9. Red Justin Red Justin says:

    Sooooo we have to worry about our children getting raped, molested and murdered? Maybe we should ban pedophiles from school…. ohh wait…

    Maybe our focus should really be into our school system, where our children will spend 20 percent of their lives. But instead we drop them off and never think about it.

    Just saying…

  10. Devin Gordon Marcus Dennis

  11. Santa Clarita needs to start focusing on real issues! Like stop allowing sex offenders to move into our communities and work in our schools !
