Sexual Predators

Dear Parents,

On Wednesday October 18, 2006 I went to a seminar at the Bethlehem Township Community Center and listened to Maureen Kanka (Megan Kanka’s mother (Megan’s Law)) talk about the dangers of sexual predators in our neighborhoods. Her speech was very powerful and opened my eyes on ways to protect my child as well as other children. I would like to share the information she gave to me, especially since Halloween is right around the corner. Please visit her website you would like information on ways to help protect your family at www.megannicolekankafoundation.org.

I also highly recommend that you visit the Pennsylvania State Police website at http://www.psp.state.pa.us/, click Megan’s Law Website and type in your zip code to view the pictures of all the sexual predators in your area. The state of Pa will not disclose the predator’s street address (unless he/she is a violent predator) but you will have a name and picture to review. As soon as I arrived home from the seminar my husband and I went on the website and did some research and found out that we have a sexual predator living three streets down from us. We know there is nothing we can do about him living next to us but now we are aware who he is and we can keep our child away from his area. Knowledge is the best way to keep you and your family safe.

I have printed out the names and pictures of all the sexual predators in the 18052 zip code area. They are hanging on the parent information board for you to view at any time. Please join me in keeping our children safe and becoming aware of who lives around us.

Thank you,

Anastasia Attisano –Director and Parent
