No PTI option for child porn

To the Editor: When are the citizens of this country going to demand protection for our children from predators like Jeffrey Patti? Yes, predators. Anyone who knowingly downloads child pornography on their computer is a child predator. John S. Furlong, the attorney representing Jeffrey Patti, the Sparta attorney charged with possession of child pornography, would like to get his client enrolled in the pre-trial intervention program. The deliberate possession of child pornography should be considered a violent offense against children and those convicted should not be eligible for PTI. Linda Grassia Andover
