Joan Green

Christopher Tindall was sent to a group home in August of 2005, after being released for a 2003 rape of a girl who attended his school. Just a few months later, police would find Joan Green, 72 of Bellefontaine beaten to death in her home. Mrs. Green's home was just a few doors down from the group home where Tindall was living. Footprints lead officers back to the group home from Mrs. Green's residence, which lead to the arrest of Tindall.
Now, the state of Ohio has begun investigating the group home Tindall was at, and has found several problems within the facility.

The Logan County group home for juveniles couldn't provide inspectors with behavioral intervention plans for three residents and failed to show that it completed criminal background checks on six employees, according to a report released Wednesday by the state Department of Job and Family Services.

The couple that ran the facilty when Tindall sneaked out on Dec 23rd and committed the heinous murder of Joan Green, where gone for the holiday that night. Whether or not Tindall had any type of behavioral intervention plan is not being released, due to his age and confidentiality laws.

Confidentiality laws are the same thing that kept Joan Greens family from knowing that a rapist lives just doors down from her. Confidentiality laws are what insure that juvenile sexual offenders attending school with your children will be unknown to you. Confidentiality laws are keeping officials and families from being able to protect others and themselves. I strongly believe that if a juvenile commits a deviant sexual crime, and then are released upon the public- the public has the right to protect themselves by knowing who these people are. I'm not talking about the 17 year old who has consenting sex with his 15 year old girlfriend. I'm talking about the rapist, the sexual offenders who are violent, menacing, and a danger to the rest of us.

It's not often that I request much of my readers. However, this case is rather closely located near my own home town. The brutal murder of a 72 year old woman, and the overall heinous nature of the crime, moves me to ask for your assistance. There is a petition, still in it's infancy- created by friends of the family of Joan Green. There's been less media attention on it than it deserves, and the nature of the crime itself should compel us all to do something. No one should have to die that way. No family should have to bury their mother knowing her last moments where filled with that sort of torment. But our media here prefers to shy away from these types of stories. So, I'm asking those that read this to take a moment and sign the petition. Give them enough signatures that they will be able to show our leaders that we demand security from those that are like Tindall. Let them know that our safety relies on being able to know who the kids next door are, and what they are.

Tindall has been charged as an adult on charges of breaking and entering, aggravated burglary, aggravated murder, rape and abuse of a corpse. Prosecutors moved the case to adult court because of the severity of the charges.

Tindall was originally charged with juvenile delinquency counts of burglary, aggravated burglary, aggravated murder, rape and abuse of a corpse. Detective Dwight Salyer testified Wednesday that police investigating the Dec. 24 break-in at a pizza shop found footprints in the snow leading to Green's house and then to a nearby group home where Tindall had been living since his release in August from a youth prison.
Salyer said Tindall had a bandaged hand and scrapes on his face. When Tindall was taken to the police station for questioning, two roommates found a blood-stained towel under his bed and items including a window bolt, a clue that led Salyer back to Green's home. The detective said he discovered an unlocked kitchen window, then found the body inside. SCR

Hello My name is Justin Green, Grandson of the late Joan. I'm 25 years old and reside in Bellefontaine. Im glad to see that people are concerned about this horrible tragedy that was so easily preventable. To help protect yourself and neighbors you need to know who is living around you., Unfortunately until the state provides such information people need to take their own initiative find out who is living in your neighborhood.
This is an online petition for all to sign and see so please take a few moments put this link up and help our family exposes these people trying to hide among us. A sexual predator is a sexual predator eight or eighty! Thank you all for your support.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...
