Parents across the Kansas City area are stunned after a recent investigation revealed that a children’s nonprofit has been organizing youth-focused events — all while its leadership includes multiple registered sex offenders.

Yes, more than one.

Not only is the group’s primary organizer a convicted child sex offender, but its co-founder is also on the sex-offender registry in Missouri. That means the two individuals running an organization marketed toward children are both legally considered a risk to minors.

And astonishingly — it’s still legal.
