Hello i work at the Salvation Army and it came to my attention that a person living there is a pedophile. I don’t know if there are others but workplace won’t disclose to me. Families with their kids eat there. I’m majorly concerned & considering quitting. First I want to do something! Who should be contacted about something like this?

What proof do you have before making a claim like that?
Are you claiming the person is harming children at work.
Are you claiming the person harmed children previously and you just now are hearing about it?
Does the person work with children?
Make sure you have all your info and proof and report the person to the police with what you know and let them investigate the person.
I wont ever name him. But hes in the halfway house, so i need to dig more but hes been convicted of something and someone in reception told me so. & i know this sounds silly but he did always give me "that feeling." This is just extremely important for me to ask about, im sure you understand. Thanks for responding
It isnt illegal to tell mums coming in with children to be watchful because people from the halfway house eat here, is it? At the very least.. Theres some children that are there often and their mums let them run around the dining room..
I have known some people who were registered offenders. All except one had gone to jail because a girlfriend had a grudge and accused the guy of something about her teenage daughter. (Actual sex is not required to build a case against a man.) So just being a "registered offender" does not mean the guy has actually done anything illegal.
It's ok to be aware, but don't get crazy.
I dont think protecting children is crazy. I understand people can be wrongly accused but i think your statement is a much more dangerous assumption. Strong disagreement.
Hi thanks for responding. A coworker that works in the shelters told me one person was a pedophile in the halfway house program. He comes to eat but so do children. I realized today that i may have been panicking..& he may actually eat separate from the public. I have to go to work tues & pay more attention. Thanks again for the advice...
