Channel 2 news at 6:00 lead story:


Livonia Public SchooLs 'Cooper' bus stop was moved to Lathers (I didn't get the cross street) where 3 or 4 known convicted sex offenders live !!!!!!!

A parent, I think his name was "Polk", had about 4 pages of documents in his hand showing that the bus stop that was moved to this street had convicted sex offenders living on it. The parent was VERY upset (and rightfully so!) The news crew went to the Central Office (they were at the front of the building) with cameras. No school official was on the air but they said that a district spokesman (I think he said the Superintendent) said that the bus stop move was an ERROR and that they were correcting it.

Channel 2 didn't say, but maybe it will be on again at 11:00

FOR GOD'S SAKE WHAT MORE CAN HAPPEN AT THIS BUILDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bus Stop Relocation Concerns Parents

No parent would willingly put their child in harm's way, but some Westland parents say their children are in serious danger because a school moved a bus stop. FOX 2's Bill Gallagher explains that it is not a traffic problem, but one with child Predators.


go to this link and hear the story yourself!

It was at Warren and Lathers. They parent was named Paul Cook.

The sex offends lived at an appartment complex right behind the bus stop. Area parents complained to district officials and it was moved, but then uit was moved back agian!

The district spokesmans said it was a "GOOF".

Here we go agian. By using the word GOOF they have minimized their screw-up!

LPS, transportation for all
This is very interesting... a while ago I compiled a map on google earth. It was of the sex offenders living within a 1 mile radius of Johnson(5/6). I was very suprised how many lived so close by to that school. I believe the number was well over 25.
Anyways, while somewhat shocked of the concentration in that area, it didn't bother me too much, my kid would be well protected within the confines of the school.
The bus stop issue never even dawned on me...I see how that could be a real issue for many parents. As a side note, the school my son previously attended had none living within a 1 mile radius.

This is getting a little rediculous. It is something new everyday.

Unfortunately this is normal for almost every city. There are two webpages that I visit monthly to keep track of the area I live in as well as our school, local library and park.

http://www.familywatchdog.com

This site lists their home and work locations if they have one, and it tracks offenders moving in and out of the area. There is also a box to check to show the local schools.

http://www.mipsor.state.mi.us

This is the state web page that is updated daily at 6 a.m.

I was able to recognize an offender at Burger King from watching these pages....it was creepy.

It's a good site, and the photos are fairly good quality.

LPS has brought this intense scrutiny on themselves by the environment of mistrust they have created through their lack of communication. My guess is that the dad on the news felt that he had to take the complaint to the media to actually get some action. Unfortunately, more will probabaly follow suit. Too many people feel that LPS tries to sweep issues under the rug.

I saw the story twice now. The safer bus stop is at Lathers & Standish. The stop in front of the apartment with the CONVICTED sex offenders was at Warren & Lathers.

The reporter said they tried to contact the Super, but a "spokesman"(Jay Young probably) said the situation was being taken care of....or whatever spin he gave.

Has anyone else noticed that anytime there's something serious, LIEpa never goes on camera and usually has Jay Young do his dirty work.
