Out-of-state father alleges inaction by local law enforcement

An out-of-state father is trying to gain traction on complaints involving sex crimes here in McHenry County. He has apparently complained to the Woodstock Police Department, the McHenry County Sheriff's Department, the McHenry County State's Attorney Office and many other government agencies and offices about sexual abuse perpetrated on his three children while they were in McHenry County.

He has identified the perps to law enforcement. At least one of his children was a juvenile when the crimes occurred. Some of the crimes extended over a lengthy period of time and involved a relative.

His email distribution list requesting action and following up on inaction now contains 25 addressees, including the above offices, plus the FBI, Illinois State Police, media and the Woodstock City Council.

The victims are all now adults, and I have urged him to have them be the direct complainants.

Recently, he emailed a link to an article about a Texas school that covered up a rape of a four-year-old male student by a 13-year-old male student for 21 months. Only after the student's grandmother "advertised" the rape on her car did the school notify parents - 21 months later!

You can read about the Texas grandmother here. Her battle reminded me of road signs in Texas that read "Don't Mess with Texas".
