25 years and never a problem!!!
This Article should be highlighted and shared. It’s about a sex offender treatment program that has, for 25 years, operated across from a day care in New Mexico and there has NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM!
Here are some of the quotes from the article:
-
He said the day care is aware of his work and has never complained. “I think it’s because, by and large, we don’t have a problem.”
-
Michael van Mersbergen, who lives across from the Fundamentals Child Development Center, said, “Living across the street, it’s one of the best gifts I ever had.” He appreciates the children playing in the day care’s playground, as they remind him of his grandchildren who have moved away. Van Mersbergen also spoke highly of his neighbor, Castenell, saying, “As far as Dr. Mike goes, I don’t think I would want a better neighbor.”
-
Kristen Santesson, executive director of Fundamentals Child Development, told Target 7, “It’s a valid concern, I think, that the community has, but our children’s safety is always our No. 1 priority.” She stated that the day care has never had problems with Castenell’s clients
-
When asked if parents are informed about the center’s location, Santesson said, “We’ve had some law enforcement individuals who bring their kids here. We’ve had attorneys who bring their kids who have asked but continue to bring their children here because this is a safe and high-quality place, and also because there just isn’t an issue.”

To let everyone know very very so far lucky but on CC here. They almost got me on ebay. Please note also they don’t know what YouTube does for identifier. If you do not have a channel which I do not, your sign is email is your identifier. When you create a channel it creates an identifier. They tried to say I didn’t register a identifiers on youtube when the agent was in my phone hitting the create channel button generating a possible identifier for the channel but when I noticed -said if you click accidently next on my phone it will create that identifier. Had DOC, Sheriff, and FDLE all stumped on technicalities. Very stumped – they have to discifer legaleese lawyer created talk and they dont have training.
Was there for 2 years. Everything great even remote job. Then got word that my sons mom got addicted to drugs and possibly his step dad was mistreating him. So I came back and got my son stabilized with me. I was getting ready to take him back with me and my fiance or course with approval from mom she was getting life together with rehab. The got me on FTR my RV I bought which I didn’t do out of hiding was alot going on but slipped my mind also got a TBI. So march selling my house yes I owned a house luckily here and going back by june.
I was tier 1 in California. I would have been off the registry in less than two years. My son asked me to relocate to Arkansas so I can see my grandchildren grow up. Now I’m tier 3 never to see any semblance of freedom. I have 3 grandkids with one on the way. It’s tough but being apart of their lives is worth being dragged through glass the rest of my life. Sometimes it’s not about my comfort. Sometimes we make decisions that others don’t understand and isnt that what put us in these dire times?
I can’t speak for crazy88 but I would imagine there are reasons only that person can know.
Karens and Darrens trying to make bones about a non-issue so they feel better about being in the press for their 15 min of notoriety. Go away already!
Can not wait to get back to Colorado. When I had to first time report to first time register in the state after moving there I started to cry 5 minutes into the process. First yes its at the police station in Colorado Springs but you do not report to an officer at all. Its the reporter a very nice staff of 2 which are civilian paid not officers. They treat you with respect. I was ready to do the signatures like in florida, get interrogated like at hernando county. Nope when I started crying she asked why I explained and she said even off your charge this isn’t constituted as a bad tier. Yes they have levels of offenders and level 1 is nothing but a officer visit to residence also once year report to her she explained. Yes 20 dollars is due but that is due for anyone she hace to process at her location not specific to offenders. Wow it was emotional being treated like I had civil rights again
So why did you leave?
Yes sex offenders intergrade with every part of life . We still shop, and walk, and enjoy a good restaurant,we go to Church, we even travel . it’s only a title given to us,it doesn’t choose who we are. We are just people getting tru life like everyone else. We did our time, we did the program,we never want to make that mistake in life again. God Bless
Amen!
