DE PERE, Wis. – Parents are raising objections after a man convicted of first-degree sexual assault was found to have moved next to their disabled kids’ school.

The Green Bay Gazette reports parents in De Pere, Wisconsin want their city to reinstate “a restrictive residency ordinance” that would block Thomas Bouchonville from living so close to their children.

A man convicted 20 years ago of sexually assaulting a young girl has moved next door to Syble Hopp School for disabled and special needs students. …

The school for developmentally disabled young people ages 3 to 20 has about 180 students who are “extremely vulnerable … far more fragile” than normal students, school administrator Barb Natelle told the De Pere City Council at a recent meeting.

“How would we get on your agenda for next time to ask for help? Because clearly we could not have that in our school,” Natelle asked of city leaders, according to the paper. “If he decides to stay there, we would have to change our curriculum. We could no longer have our kids walking independently, we certainly couldn’t have our classrooms walking in that area, we’d have to reroute everything.”

“Absolutely, everyone deserves a second chance, but that does not mean that second chance has to take place 30 feet from where my son goes to school,” parent Lynn Meshke, tells the paper.

“There needs to be public safety value in having an ordinance that restricts where such a person lives, and if the value is only to feel good, that’s not a valid reason,” De Pere Police Chief Derek Beiderwieden said, according to the paper.

The Green Bay Gazette reports Bouchonville is one of eight registered sex offenders to be living within one mile of the school.

De Pere enacted an ordinance that would have prevented Bouchonville from living so close to the school, but repealed it in 2013.
