Dad barred from watching son's school performance because his ID matched that of a sex offender
A Colorado man is demanding apology from his son's school after he was mistaken for a registered sex offender and prevented from attending his child's school performance.
According to reports, Larry Mitchell went to the Aurora Hills Middle School with his wife and 11-year-old son to watch the latter's performance in a Writers' Cafe on October 26. The issue arose when Mitchell gave the school security his ID at the check-in and his name was matched with that of a sex offender.
The Aurora Public School uses the Raptor Visitor Management System, a program that checks all visitors against the National Sex Offender Registry. Mitchell told the security that he was not a sex offender but the school said that he could only attend the event with an escort, the Daily Mail reported.
