Talk to your children NOW!
Moreno Valley and neighboring cities must face the reality of the most heinous crimes: a growing number of attempted snatching of adolescent girls on their way to or from school.
Where as most victims have been able to flee, that hasn't been the case for some. The following is a word for word copy of an email sent out just yesterday by President of the East Area Neighborhood Watch:
"My 14 year old daughter was on her way to school (Mountain View Middle School), when a car (black El Camino) pulled over and the male tried to get her into the car. When he put his hand on the handle to get out of his vehicle, my daughter ran fast to school and told the Principal and Vice Principal.
Suspect is a male Hispanic, about 30 yrs old, weird eyes.. possibly one smaller than the other. This happened 6-3-2011 today at 8AM off of Morrison and Dracea.
I contacted Moreno Valley Police, Officer Gordon (3737) made a report (File# MV11 1540075). He brought in an forensic-artist to make a computerized sketch of the male. The sketch will be available next week, and Officer Gordon is going to ask the other girls if this is the same guy. MVPD handled this very professionally and very prompt. Thank You MVPD!
The school did not call the Police nor inform me (her mother). My daughter informed me through her cell phone at school. The Principal has informed me that activating the 911 system is NOT their policy. Only if the male had opened the door or touched her. I can not say how stomach-churning I feel, that no one called me or the Police. The policy according to Principle Fay, is that they call the SRO and the SRO writes an indecent report and that it lands on ___ desk. I have not spoken to ___ yet. But I will have more to say about this.
Back in December 2010, three girls had the same problem with a male trying to get them into his car. But the car was beige. Male Hispanic, about 30 years old, shaved head, once again on Dracea.. between Nason and Morrison. Norma Lopez was killed walking home from school at Dracea and Nason (one street away).
Lets get an active group to walk/drive around the schools at 7:30AM and 2:30PM. Only one more week of school. Please email me back to join in as we keep a look out for this guy or guys. Remember we are just the eyes and ears, the Police do the rest. 951-247-8700-5 Police non-emergency line, report all suspects.
PS, My daughter has only walked to school maybe four times this whole school year."
Thank you and Stay Safe!

Thank you Julie all of us that know you or your daughter are relieved. This writer is aware of similar attempts that have not made mainstream news on the N.W. side of Moreno Valley.
The prospects for healthcare reform may be chillier than DC weather, but Democrats in the House and Senate are turning their attention to another warmer but still significant national issue: the increasing number of runaway and throwaway youth who are being forced into prostitution. In response to the growing concerns that desperate, runaway teens will be forced into prostitution in a sluggish economy, Congress is pushing several bills to improve how runaway kids are tracked by the police, fund crucial social services, and prevent teens from being caught in sex trafficking. Here's the gist of what the new legislation is trying to accomplish:
