To the parents of students at Inglewood High: Why has a school security guard (Troy Paige) been allowed to victimize the female students. Troy was recently arrested from the school for forcing female students into prostitution. The school districts answer was to move Troy to Hillcrest continuation school, where he is allowed to victimize more of our female students. Parents, this is an extreme tragedy! If this bothers you, please address the District and ask WHY!
