I've never really done this before and I'm not sure if I'm doing this right or not, but If I am, I want people to know that something really bad happened to me and my child while visiting the Portland Public library yesterday
(8-29-07).
While in the library my 2 daughters, ages 4 and 11 and I stopped to use the ladies restroom in the kids section in the library. As my daughter enter a stall in the restroom she couldnt help but hear a couple of voices in the stall next to hers moaning and groaning. Curiousity getting the better of her she looked through a space in the the stall where the noise was coming from and saw what appeared to be a couple having sex. My daughter came and got me and I walked near the stall looked at the ground and saw clothes on the floor and heard moaning. So I too, look through the space bewteen the door and the stall and sure enough.. A male and a female were having sex.
We left the restroom in a hurry and went to tell the librarian. After informing the librarian on what was going on, she went and took a look for herself and then she called security. The security officer came and looked in the restroom and saw the couple engaged in sex as well. Then the security guard called the police but didnt mention that the act was seen by an 11 year old child. It took forever for the police to arrive. When the police finally did arrived (25 minutes later) I was told by the officer that they were just informed that it was 2 people having sex (not 2 people having sex being witness by a child) so it wasnt a priority. The police officer also said the reason why it took so long to get there was do to a "shift change".
Needless to say, the couple having sex in the library restroom got away.. and no one (not even the security guard) said anything or did anything as they walked right in front of him and right out the door smiling. Its as though the library staff, security and management could have cared less. And the Portland police really didnt think all that much of it either.
I think its horrible that my child was subjected to people having sex in the portland public library. The library staff should be ashamed of themsleves for allowing that kind of filth to go on. And the way the library staff handled the matter was less than proffessional.. Mothers and Fathers beware letting you child use the restrooms in the Portland Public Library! I just wanted to get the word out.
Thanks for your time a loving Mother
