Homeless man's voodoo attire worries local boy | Letters

Hello, my name is Robert Tetu. I have a problem. There is a homeless man in my neighborhood on 2nd Court South near Mirror Lake Elementary School, and near stores in my marketplace I like to shop in.

He walks around my school, house and random sidewalks. He walks down 8th Street the most, which is scary. There is a homeless church behind my school the homeless man goes to.

He dresses like a voodoo doll. He usually has an Indian robe on and he carries a big bag around. He has voodoo necklaces on. I worry about him coming to our school. I also worry that he'll steal property like pets, TVs, vehicles and other belongings. My last worry is that he will damage property and harm people.

Note: This letter was sent as a Cub Scout project, according to the boy's father.
