The information was provided to those most closely affected and is all that is available under the law. It should provide families with information to help them protect themselves but I urge all parents to remain vigilant for those offenders that we don’t know about. I realize that this matter has caused us all concern and want to personally commend this community for its responsible behavior and its steadfast support in this difficult situation. I want to assure the community that we will all continue to provide all the legally available information to keep you safe and secure.
