We're expecting some answers back in the weeks and months ahead.

With any soil contamination - whether it's sand like we have here or soil or clay - testing needs to be done thoroughly to ensure there is no health threat to the people who live here and use this beach.

There could be all kinds of identity theft. It's a massive failure by a county agency to not insure the confidential information of its clients.

The testing needed to be done all along. The safety and the health of anyone on this beach is our primary concern. The Sanitation District needs to do everything it can to make sure this beach is safe, and we were told that it was safe.

The bottom line here is that the supervisor would have never allowed the beaches to be open to the public if he had known that not all the testing had been done. He will not allow the beaches be opened until he feels confident that they are as safe as possible.

The bottom line about the report is that it shows that Safe Surrender is working. The word about the program is getting out there and mothers are making the right choice when they feel the need to abandon their newborn.
