A READER WRITES:
“We recently moved out of the area and often check your website for local news in the area. Imagine my disgust that there is a poll regarding the tragic kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of Tori Stafford disguised as a scare tactic for the community. There is NO lesson in Tori’s rape and murder. NONE! It was a tragic, senseless, crime. By suggesting that all children should be picked up after school is also implying that Tori’s family is responsible for her death. By suggesting that no one talk to strangers is suggesting that strangers will hurt you. Society should recognize problem youth earlier? What about making those problem youth accountable for their actions? How about tackling drugs and proverty as we all know it’s a cycle that will be repeated with the next generation. The issue isn’t about recognizing problem youth – ask anyone in a small town, we all KNOW who the trouble kids are and whose parents have no idea where their child is and nor do they care. How about tackling learning issues in school at a younger age in order to keep youth from lashing out at the frustration of not being able to learn so easily like we expect them too? Video surveillance?.Surveillance costs money, it arguably cuts into our privacy rights. I sincerely hope you remove the thoughtless poll from your website immediately There is a lot you can educate your readers on instead of posting a poll that so inflames the public by implying misconceptions about crime.”
Sincerely – Sabrina Scrimegour, Lucan
