Registered Sex Offender Newest Resident at Texas Nursing Home Facility
"If I said there was no danger, I would be lying." Counselor Ezio Leite on sex offenders on civil committment.
Several weeks ago, sixty year old Boyd Mullens was moved from a halfway house in Dallas to the Lake Worth Nursing Home in Lake Worth, Texas. Mullins is considered a sexually violent predator after being convicted of molesting several teenage boys.
Officials allegedly moved Boyd due to illness but refuse to elaborate. Nursing home staff members say that Mullins is able to ambulate but speaks using a computer device. He lives in a room with several other nursing home residents.
Facility social worker Laura Holbrook allegedly was not aware that Mullins was considered such a dangerous sex offender. While residents in the surrounding Lake Worth neighborhood were advised of Boyd's residency, as were nursing home employees, residents of the facility and their families were not notified. According to Holbrook, "No, we don't divulge that to family members." The nursing home Director refused to comment on the failure to notify and refused to discuss if any extra security precautions were taken to protect the residents.
