As part of an ongoing effort to keep Mohonasen students safe and secure within the buidlings, new procedures are being implemented for visitors to all four district schools and the district offices.
Visitors will now be asked to present their license upon arrival. The license will then be scanned into a computer and compared against the New York State Sex Offender Registry. School staff will enter all relevant information – including the person’s destination – into the computer and print the visitor a nametag.
The new procedures are now in place, as Mohonasen’s Chief of Security Jeff Jackson has been training the appropriate school personnel on the computer system this week.
Anyone with questions should contact Jackson at 356-8355.

The new America, where everybody is presumed a criminal and must prove they are innocent...All in the name of safety...What's next, they going to check if you have a DWI or drug conviction or some other criminal conviction that they must identify before walking into a public school?
so what are the statistics for mohonasen? Have they had many incidents where a sex offender tried to pick up a child there? Do they have solid proof of this or is this just one of those 'just in case' scenarios?
Also does this apply to all events such as sporting events or plays or concerts? what about the parent/teacher night?
Lets go one step further....what about the staff....how about drug testing the staff as well? What about testing the staff for HIV? Although they would claim that their personal rights would be violated. What about everyone else's personal rights?
And as a side note....it is a bit humorous when you think that mohonasen had a know pedophile on their staff (constantino) for years and 'knew' that he was touching little girls and did NOTHING as did the elected official or law enforcement. How safe are those children with the staff? Teachers, nurses, bus drivers, maintenance people? Are mohonasen families suppose to trust them when there are no such 'personal violations' for them? Have them all tested for drugs and hiv and open their personal records to the mohonasen taxpayers. Let's do a 'personal violation' check on THEIR license. That's fair...yes?
I will surely not be attending any of my family's events at mohonasen.

The stats dont matter.....it's rhetoric so the plebs that have reasonable thinking minds question their own ability to discern and act on their own and letting 'the king' do the pleb thinking....putting pure fear/doubt into the minds of the plebs is fuel for the fire at a later date......now the plebs wont be able to discern and weigh out their leaders......let's break from the 'flock think' and take each on their own merit.....oh wait,,,does that make one a 'bad citizen'?
shame shame shame sham sham sham

Wow, This, along with the director of homeland security wanting to do airport like security at football games and Ohbomas idea about providing jobs for teachers, cops and other union members and it makes some kinda sense. This could be a boon for their economy. Yes we can all get jobs watching and scrutinizing each other. Yes good government jobs.... we can all work for the government , but wait who will the government govern if everyone is the government? It also gives the cop at the door something to keep his hands busy as he sits there all day watching.... It would seem to me that government is on purpose going nuts with all this emphasis on security. It's goal is to push people to react in ways that enable them to take complete control, a lesson learned from the honest abes Fort sumpter provacation. The thing to take away is do not them there schemes cause us to react in self defeating ways. Another possibility is this will cause more people to not visit the school ,something that could be usefull to potential tyrants.

For other uses, see Stockholm syndrome (disambiguation).
Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg, Stockholm In psychology, Stockholm syndrome is a term used to describe a real paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express empathy and have positive feelings towards their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness.[1][2] The FBI’s Hostage Barricade Database System shows that roughly 27% of victims show evidence of Stockholm syndrome.[3] The syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg in Stockholm, in which bank employees were held hostage from August 23 to August 28, 1973. In this case, the victims became emotionally attached to their captors, and even defended them after they were freed from their six-day ordeal. The term "Stockholm syndrome" was coined by the criminologist and psychiatrist Nils Bejerot, who assisted the police during the robbery, and referred to the syndrome in a news broadcast.[4] It was originally defined by psychiatrist Frank Ochberg to aid the management of hostage situations.[5]

[edit] Evolutionary explanations
The syndrome has also been explained in evolutionary terms. Historically raptio (e.g., Rape of the Sabine women) and bride kidnapping have been (and still are in some places) very common practices. Women who were kidnapped and consistently fought back were likely to be killed or imprisoned and thus not have children. But women who bonded with and submitted to their captors were more likely to have children and their children were more likely to receive the genes that made their mothers more passive and bonding towards their captors. And over several generations, this made the population of humans more genetically prone to submission and bonding when kidnapped. [6][7][8]
[edit] Notable examples Mary McElroy was kidnapped and held for ransom in 1933 and released by her captors unharmed. When three of her four captors were apprehended and given maximum sentences (including one death sentence), McElroy defended them. According to reports, she suffered from feelings of guilt concerning the case which compromised her mental and physical health. She took her own life in 1940. Patty Hearst was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1974. After two months in captivity, she actively took part in a robbery they were orchestrating. Her unsuccessful legal defense claimed that she suffered from Stockholm syndrome and was coerced into aiding the SLA. She was convicted and imprisoned for her actions in the robbery, though her sentence was commuted in February 1979 by President Jimmy Carter, and she received a Presidential pardon from President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001 (among his last official acts before leaving office). Jaycee Lee Dugard was abducted at age 11 by Phillip and Nancy Garrido at a school bus stop in 1991 and was imprisoned at their residence for 18 years. In August 2009, Phillip brought Nancy and Jaycee (who was living under the alias "Allissa") along with two girls that Garrido fathered with Jaycee during her captivity, to be questioned by Garrido's parole officer after he noticed some suspicious behavior. She did not reveal her identity when she was questioned alone. Instead, she told investigators she was a battered wife from Minnesota who was hiding from her abusive husband, and described Garrido as a "great person" who was "good with her kids". Dugard has since admitted to forming an emotional bond with Garrido with great guilt and regret.[9]
[edit] Lima syndrome
An inverse of Stockholm syndrome called "Lima syndrome" has been proposed, in which abductors develop sympathy for their hostages. It was named after an abduction at the Japanese Embassy in Lima, Peru in 1996, when members of a militant movement took hostage hundreds of people attending a party in the official residence of Japan's ambassador. Within a few hours, the abductors had set free most of the hostages, including the most valuable ones, due to sympathy.[10][11]
[edit] In popular culture The term Helsinki syndrome has been used erroneously to describe Stockholm syndrome, popularized by the movie Die Hard.[12] It is also used in The X-Files episode "Folie a Deux". Also, it was mistaken by BBC Top Gear's Richard Hammond once in series 17.
