I don't think any of these kids are forced to go there.

Are you saying the parents are disrespecting there children by choosing to put them in there?
Do you think a parent is disrespecting their kid if the parent is shooting up and leaving a dirty needle in the same room as the child?
Do you think a parent is disrespecting a kid if the parent take them for a ride on a motorcycle without a helmet?
And these parents are disrespecting the community by saying they, their children, and school is more important and deserving than any rules.
I hear people complain about the long drive to take their recyclable and trash to the legitimate places for drop-off. Well screw the community, I’m opening up a waste transfer station where they don’t have to drive long distances. Sure it’s smack between a bunch of peoples houses, sure zoning says no, sure it going to cause traffic. But you know who gives a damn. The community needs one and I’ll fill that need with my own private garbage dump. Right in the middle of the block. People don't like it, tough! If WOL can violate rules, so can I.
Maybe the other property will make a good location for a halfway house for sex offenders. What do you mean the zoning doesn’t allow it? WOL is doing it, why can’t I. And don’t dare say anything about safety of the community, you don’t care about the safety of the children in that school so why care about the safety of any kid.
What do you mean zonings says I can’t build 4 six story, glass and chrome apartment buildings on my 1 acre of land? No, no, no. WOL, says following zoning should not be an issue. So you lost your view. So you have people looking down on you from their windows. So their lights make it that you can’t sleep. Zoning is optional, isn’t it?
Wait, where is the closest methadone clinic? Not close, Hey I’ve got a piece of property smack dab in a residential area. I know the people can’t say anything especially if WOL is allowed to violate the rules.
The local school installed bars on all windows and chained the doors shut? You’re worried about a fire? How will the kids get out? Who cares, WOL has argued that safety isn’t an issue and needs to be ignored. If they burn, so what they were getting an education!
And, build the incinerator! Who cares about any safety issues? WOL is setting the example that a claim of doing good outweighs any legitimate safety, health and welfare concerns, especially when it comes to children.
