We send our children off to school, imagining that they will be as safe there as they are in our homes. We expect that. But deep down we know that we don't always get that. Sometimes, it just seems that our children are in the biggest amount of danger when they are at school. We have to worry about the class bully, the teacher who may be looking to make national headlines by having a relationship with a student. All sorts of things. And recently, we've had to look closely at a new threat.
A while back I told you about the sex offender posing as a 12 year old student. And, I told you about the rape of a boy by an unknown attacker in the boys school restroom.
Well, thanks to Loadbroker, we now have Kyle Lamone. Lamone is a registered sex offender, charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon on school grounds and impersonating a police officer. Yes, impersonating an officer, and carrying a weapon- which turned out to be a 6-inch folding knife.
Police say he walked into a middle school, carrying the knife and dressed as a school officer. He was able to enter the school without signing in as a visitor in the office. Lamone then proceeded to a classroom, when students were leaving for the day. The excuse is that he was attempting to see a teacher. I'm not personally sure that I'm buying that excuse- I mean, I've went to see different teachers at schools a lot- and never once did it require me to carry a knife, or dress up as a member of law enforcement.
What's more troubling is that Lamone has visited the school more than one time, and school employees seemed to only learn of his past after another recent visit. They say this is the first time he has carried any sort of weapon... I'd personally like them to prove that.
Here's Lamone's Myspace account, which is set to private. CaptJesus_666 is his display name. And here is MSNBC's take on the story, complete with photo of him being arrested.
