<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE><STRONG>Donovan asks the question: "who was keeping quiet about criminal acts against children?"</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG>Until earlier this week, when it became news on this forum, just about everyone.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG>And for me, the most difficult part of this terrible thing that happened in our community, is knowing that those we TRUST to keep us safe failed on so many counts. </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG>We can point fingers and say the pastor should have reached out beyond his flock. But he didn't. The newspaper either overlooked this news, or felt it was not worthy of print. In any case, the general public was left in the dark.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG>So who really let us down. . . . ? The State of Idaho. Or, rather, those who represent the State of Idaho.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG>Why do I say this? </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG>Because, as I see it, Mr. Sitler is a sex offender who is supposed to register as such. I realize that this normally would happen when he was released from prison and had a place to live and an address to register. However, his "home" right now is the County Jail and because of this I guess he is exempt from registering. But it doesn't FEEL right. Several times a week he comes and goes. . . in his own vehicle. . . across state lines to other cities and other communities. Just as he would if he had an apartment.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG>Why do we even have a registry at all if every known sex offender isn't on it?</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><STRONG>I'm only asking. . . . WHY?</STRONG></DIV>
