Seattle kids return to schools with homeless camps on school property

Children at two Seattle schools are now returning to classrooms but just outside the schools, on school property, there are homeless camps that have been in place for months.

"All parents need to speak up and let the school board know that our schools are not camp grounds."

"You question the judgment of those in charge of keeping your children safe," said Ryle Goodrich, whose 6-year-old son was set to return to the school in the Bitter Lake neighborhood Monday for in-person learning.

Goodrich told KOMO, "I know a lot of parents who wanted to send their children back to school but are unwilling to because they don't feel safe." He and his family are currently shopping for a new home, somewhere out of the city.

Of course the real concern parents have is that they don't know who the transients living next to the school are.

The second video below from KOMO News is about the camp next to Broadview Thompson K-8 school.

It's not related to the school issue but it does show how easy it would be for a homeless person with mental issues to hurt a child.
