From Kern County (California) to Johnson County (Kansas) 07/27/2010
A California mom shared this link with us. It is a CA newspaper article about KR4K (concerned Olathe parents) campaigning to change the law. This comment by the mom says it all. Kansas Rights 4 Kids support both tkhalifeh and her daughter.
As the mother of the child molested by James Delgado I would like to say 'Thank You' to those in Kansas advocating to keep their children safe. My daughter was so brave and stood by her testimony to what this man did to her. My concern with his move to Kansas was that he would continue to coach girls in sports in a community he was not known in. My family feels better knowing his actions have not gone unnoticed and that because my daughter stood up and had a voice, her courage and honesty has lead to a positive outcome. -tkhalifeh
