When this Anon said "keep digging on Racine", I decided to look into it because a recent comment on an earlier thread here about Racine sparked my interest. In my first few hours, I've found a few interesting tidbits:

  • 1) There are a few major "Clusters" where there are multiple sex offenders living very closely together, sometimes next door to eachother (except there's 4 or 5 houses in a row with sex offenders)
  • 2) Each cluster that fits my brief description above tends to either be by a Park (Roosevelt Park, West Park, etc).
  • 3) Elementary schools tend to be near these clusters (Wisconsin Lutheran Middle School, Racine KinderCare, Red Apple Elementary school, Jane Elementary School, Stephen Bull Elementary, and Racine Early Education)
  • 4) In one cluster at 1400 washingtone ave in Racine, I was returning results for either an Herb Shop as being at that location, or something called Genesis Behavioral Health Services. There are at least 4 Genesis Behavioral Health Services locations within a few miles of eachother in Racine.
  • 5) There is a childcare loophole in the state of Wisconsin that is absolutely fascinating and could be extremely relevant: it was possible for some time (maybe it still is) to receive money from the government by opening up a childcare center but enrolling your own children and employees children. So, people would open up childcare centers with their friends and only enroll their children yet receive benefits and bill the government (I believe that's roughly how it works.) However, look into the scandals involving some of these places. Probably lots of neglect, shitty living environments, etc. I read one story about a childcare center (run out of a womans home, too) that was shut down because one of the children she cared for was found wandering the streets alone.

Thank you! I plan on looking into this more anytime i get the chance. On the clock until 5pm 5 days a week, though.
