I\u2019m going to look at every option to continue to fight this placement, and to ensure these placements are stopped. This is devastating for the families of Borrego Springs and especially the home-schooled family with two deaf children that live right across the street.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sexually Violent Predators are the worst of the worst.\u00a0To be classified by the state as a\u00a0sexually\u00a0violent\u00a0predator a person must have been convicted of a\u00a0violent\u00a0sex crime against at least one victim and be diagnosed with a condition that makes that person likely to re-offend.
