He'd been convicted of molesting their daughter years ago.
But the family had done much to recover from that and stayed together.
She thought it was harmful and unfair to make his record so readily accessible.
But a Roanoke viewer, who asked that her name be withheld disagreed.
"I am sorry, but she should have thought about that before she allowed him to
return to her home with her daughter. It sounds as though she is more worried
about her friends and neighbors finding out that she would allow this to
happen than she is worried about the welfare of her child. Why try to live a
normal life, when her husband has already made it abnormal for this innocent
child.
Get real, lets put the blame where it should be and not blame the Law
Enforcement Community for doing their jobs and for letting the public know
when a convicted sex offender is living in their neighborhoods; after all,
some of us protect our children and not willingly place them in harm's way."
