a custodian name is Anthony Chavez. He forced himself onto my friends 16 year old son when Chavez offered him a ride home but went straight to a park instead and that's when Chavez tried to force himself on him but failed when my friend's son pushed him off and got out of the car.
Me and others do suspect that Chavez has been doing this to other boys in the area including the boys that goes to El Capitan after one of us heard about Chavez on Social apps.
After my friend's son refused to go to make a report due to the embarrassment and being scared Chavez will come after him. We emailed the school and told them about what happened In the park but it was ignored. We even went in and was told to come back.
Someone who works at El Capitan and told me that Chavez got into trouble for stealing supplies but Chavez made up a story then we saw it on Facebook about him stealing.
If they want to listen to a lair and a thief that like manipulating them than to care about the safety of our children then we the community will do everything in our power to stop him or get him away from our children.
The community needs to know what's really going on at our children schools and what type of people they are letting work there so Please share and let others know.
