\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>Stapleton has long been a community that is big on posting signs. From the pocket park rules<\/a>, to the turtle signs<\/a> reminding you to slow down, to the city finally acknowledging MLK Jr. Dr. appropriately<\/a>. Recently, a new rash of signs have been spotted that are sparking some controversy.\n\n\u201cI understand that Stapleton has a problem with unruly children, and people should be warned,\u201d says resident Justin Schmit. \u201cWhat I don\u2019t necessarily agree with is investing in all of these signs when resources should be getting put into making these children better. That\u2019s what I am concerned with.\u201d\nMany residents agree that the signs are just a short-term fix, and much has to be done to address the situation. \u201cWe know that the signs don\u2019t fix the problem (bad kids),\u201d says SUN President Mike Victoria. \u201cBut, in the interim, while we are looking for solutions, people must be warned. We certainly have an obligation to our community and visitors of the community.\u201d\nThe \u201cCaution Children\u201d signs are already posted at every elementary school, most pocket parks, and even some places in Quebec Square. \u201cWe have seen a lot of bad things go on here, which is not good for business,\u201d says Quebec Square property manager Jennifer Gerbracht. \u201cAll of these kids causing trouble is not good for the bottom line of the local businesses, so we at least had to put these signs up, which will hopefully let the kids know we have an eye on them.\u201d\nA SUN sub-committee is looking into ways it can help kids\u2019 behavior. One option is opening up the possibility that all kids be exposed to the local re-education chamber<\/a> when they behave poorly. \u201cThat is just one option we are looking at right now,\u201d says Victoria. \u201cWe were hoping that parents could turn things around, but it looks like once again, the entire community will have to step up for the parents that are failing us.\u201d ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
