Reed Leonard is not only an abuser, he is a child molester. I am one of his victims. Keep these children safe by not allowing them to return to them. I will be following this story.
We have just purchased the place in November and found out this
We would like to know the history if possible just for peace of mind. We have been cleaning up the place and were very upset about this places past and want to make it right. We are so sorry for your pain and keep you in our prayers.
