Investigation continues into drive-by shooting

LEWISTON — Police released few details Sunday about a drive-by shooting that occurred Saturday night on Marble Street that left one person with minor injuries.

Shots rang out shortly before 8:30 p.m. Saturday on Marble Street directly behind the former Pettingill Elementary School, a usually quiet residential neighborhood nestled between College Street and Central Avenue.

Several shots were fired at the home of Tom and Jamie Bolduc, who told the Sun Journal Saturday night that shots were also fired at the home of their daughter, who lives down the street.

Lt. Mark Watson of the Lewiston Police Department confirmed Sunday that a second home in the area sustained damage during the incident but declined to release the address or name of the homeowner. He wouldn't say whether shots were fired at that residence or if there was some other type of damage.

Watson also confirmed reports that one person sustained minor injuries but declined to release the victim's name due to the ongoing investigation. 

Jamie Bolduc told the Sun Journal that three white males chased a black male from her daughter's home after shots were fired there first. She said the men chased the suspect to her home, where more shots were fired. Neither she nor her husband were home at the time.Watson said that authorities believe three or four shots actually hit the home.

Watson said that he could not comment on whether police have any suspects. No arrests had been made as of Sunday night.

Maine Laws being broken

Why dont this law effect crack that is being taking into this familys home rather she knew or not it was still in her home. The law clearly states the old rules as well as revised bill. This family lives right next to a school and in a school zone, but yet this did not apply??
A bill based on the panel’s recommendation has been introduced that would reduce the zones to 200 feet from the present size of 1,000 feet around schools and 500 feet around parks and public housing. Drug dealers in the smaller zones would face five to 10 years in prison, compared to three to five years under current law — but judges would have more discretion in sentencing.
More info on this law can be found online.

Levers DayCare

After all this shootings, drug dealings, no one seems to ever be charged and the same officer handles each crime that involves this family, it makes you wonder if they have ties with the Lewiston Police Dept. It just seems real fishy, when reading the reports. As for there day care Id be willing to bet $100.00 that none of the people who work there go through back ground checks have you seen there so called teachers, Why DHHS has not came in and shut them down is a wonder. Do they have friends and ties with DHHS as well someone has to be getting paid off. Any other business with this much attention would be under investegation right away. DHHS is supose to be protecting our kids but after reading this it dont sound like they are really doing there jobs and who's to say the next drive by is not going to be at the day care center when these people see one of the girls cars in the parking lot. Are parents really going to want to take that chance your talking about young children. This family should not be owning or operating a day care center with the lives they live. If you have childrend attending Levers id really think about looking else where. I know after reading this if I had kids this is the last day care center id send my kids to. DHHS YOU REALLY NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE PEOPLES CHILDREN ARE AT RISK!

Sometimes ...

Sometimes people that I don't know park at my parents house and try to break into my house to steal TV's. Then they shoot out my parents windows. That is not unusual at all.

And the fact that this random crime happened to them has no correlation to the fact that they care for children. Completely unrelated. They are good, upstanding members of this community and they are victims of a random crime. This could have happened to any one of us.

oh man this is bad

I don't know these people from a piss hole in the snow, but when I read this thread and saw Erica's comment all I could think is "oh Dear Lord take it down". Big Brother is always watching and the internet never forgets. Clearly, people know who you are and where you live. The people who have something to say, judge the situation or whatever, how do you know they are not nuts Erica?
I feel afraid for everyone involved and this won't go away overnight.
Talk about stress! I can't really imagine how the Bolducs feel right now, really...seriously, think about what your saying when you accuse this family of things you have, whether it's true or not, think about what you put out there, remember: Big Brother is truly watching, and the internet never forgets. I wonder: if the Bolducs are not even being investigated for wrong doing if when "verified" by the Sun Journal this family could press slander charges against any people who made comments that were accusatory. I know if I was them and I could, I think I would!
Think about it......
Very very scary that this happens in boring ol' Lewiston Maine, really!

bigbrother's picture

Only a matter of time.

I only hope to read in the near future that the SunJournal is named in the slander lawsuit by allowing these comments to continue.
Erica, you need to hit the Print button on your PC to save these records. It will be interesting to find out who these people are when they trace back their IP addresses and identify the people making these "anonymous" comments. Nothing on the internet is anonymous. I've beein in IT for many years and it's a fairly simple process to view the logs and then go to the ISP (TimeWarnerMaine, FairPoint, or Oxford Networks) and obtain the IP addresses and customers associated with it.
Good luck!

Madeleine's picture

I sure do hope Big Brother is watching!

The story that Erica posted above is completely different than the story her mother (Jaime Lever Bolduc) told the police.

According to Jamie Bolduc, after shots were fired at the home of her daughter who lives down the street, three white males chased a black male to her home where more shots were fired.

OK first it says 20

OK first it says 20 comments...why cant I read all 20 on here?
Second I want to ask would you want to be punished for mistakes your children make? I know I would'nt nor would I want my parents punished for mistakes I made when younger. Yes we all make them. I have met Meagan and the Erica who works at Levers daycare...as far as I know its not the Erica in this situation. Because Erica tells us what happened who are we to say that isnt how it happened? The only person who can say that is wrong it didnt happen that way are the people involved and the police. Doesnt sound like anyone here falls under this discription. Tha article that brings up police finding or suspecting a bag at Jamie's house with crack in it...no where in that article did Jamie get accused of knowing, hiding or selling this crack so why so quick to accuse her? I dont check bags of my friends and I am pretty sure if someone had a crack ball as big as a tennis ball they wouldnt be bragging about it. Duh. Jamie was not charged therefore she did nothing wrong in this situation. Now, the article about the drive by...something I am not familiar of happening often in Lewiston Maine if at all. Scary to neighbors, scary to all of us as we dont want to think of this in our town. I picture this in like NY or Boston, dont you? How scary do you think it was for this family to think about what if..what if someone was shot what if someone died? Then would you get off the high horse or would you say its their fault? Just because someone shot at Erica and Jamie's homes doesnt mean they knew them...could mean what Erica said that someone was in her place stealing and she yelled at the guys by the car so they shot there to. Who knows that could be true it could be wrong. Even if it was a drug issue is it Jamie's fault her children may have or are involved with these type of men? Should Jamie have no daycare because her children hang out with the wrong crowd? When I was a teen I hung out downtown with a rough crowd but should I be punished now when I have cleaned up my life? No I shouldnt be. I had both of my children at Levers daycare and I had no issues. I showed up at random times due to the rumors I had heard, I spoke to my children and asked how they liked it and what they did. NOT one time did my kids say anything bad about the staff, about how they were treated. I always heard I dont want to leave and how much fun they had. My son went to Jamie's house to use the pool and they were kept safe. Would I want him at Jamie's house right now with what just happened no but did Jamie ask for this? NO. I often saw Jamie in the daycare and my children liked her, Meagan had a way with the "naughty" kids. She was able to get their attention and talk to them about what they did wrong. So when you think of her hanging out with the wrong crowd also think of her taking time to help the kids who are troubled. Kids who have been kicked out of other daycares because of behavior go to Levers....because Jamie and her staff give them a chance and work with them and guess what they are still good kids. I am a single mom and I qualify for no help and when I was behind in childcare they didnt kick my children out they worked with me getting caught up because they were compassionate and understanding. So should the daycare be shut down because Jamie gives kids a chance, gives them a place to be safe and learn to behave? Should Jamie be put down because she helps the under dog? Because she helps single moms? No she should'nt be, she should be given kudos for helping people, for having a heart. So when you discuss Levers daycare remember these positive things as there are more stories just like it. Jamie and her family are victims in this drive by rather Erica or Meagan knew them. What Jamie allows in her house is her business. Sounds like she helps out others and maybe they have a bad back ground or have gotten into trouble but that has nothing to do with her daycare. When we are all perfect we can put others down but noone is perfect and hopefully this will help her children to see what can happen if this infact is because of drugs. Thank you Levers staff for giving my kids a good experience while attending Levers. SW

Erica tells us what happened ?

Ma'am, you can believe whatever you'd like. I just hope the other parents that send their children to this daycare have more common sense than you do. Jaime Lever Bolduc is responsible for what goes on in her home, as well as she is responsible for what goes on in her daycare. She is also responsible for who works in her daycare, wouldn't you say? Her two daughters have been involved with some pretty raunchy people and have been in their share of trouble. You may feel comfortable leaving your child with these two, but, I don't believe all parents would agree with you. "Duh"? Whether this woman was charged or not really makes no difference. Her daughters were hanging with drug dealers who brought drugs into her home and she has these two working in a daycare caring for other peoples children. I find your excuses for Jaime and her two "naughty" daughters insulting to say the least. I believe we protect our children at all cost, we do not leave them in the hands of those that are out of control. You say that Jaime is always helping others? Well maybe she should pay more attention to what's going on in her home. This woman worked with you because you fell back on your childcare payments? You say that makes her understanding and compassionate? Well maybe you could change places with her and her daughters neighbors, I'll bet you might be singing a different tune.

Have been listening to it for years

Erica, Dear! How nice for you that you think 'all the neighbors love you'. Au contraire! I've listened to numerous stories of your "wild child adventures" over the years while we were living in Lewiston..................and they had nothing to do with how much the people in that neighborhood "loved" you while it was going on. LOTS of sadness for your grandparents----- who are wonderful people! Rather a bit of 'what goes around, comes around' in terms of your mother......... And not much patience with your inability to get the slugs out of your personal life and clean up your act. It's the old story about laying down with dogs and getting up with fleas! Time to get off your high horse and sweep out the trash.

THE TRUTH

Ok so lets start this off different then these phoney old housewives that have NOTHING better to do than gossip. I AM ERICA LEVER, I am using my real name because I will be telling the truth about everything these "anonymous" retards are speaking about. Maybe when they start making sense,they'll come from behind their blogging alter egos. I am so sick of the half-ass stories people have about things that have happened around here in the past and recently. First of all, I wasn't a perfect teenager,like most,and I hung around the wrong crowd, but to try to deface my mother's business because of thing's people I know have done? You people really discust me.It's really like you have a personal problem with someone because everytime something happens you try to look for ways to relate it to the Daycare.It's BOGUS,it's UNFAIR,and it's EXTREMELY WRONG. I have absolutely nothing to hide. I dont harbor drug dealers, I don't even know people that are so messed up they would shoot guns in my neighborhood. The truth is, when those drugs were taken from my mother's house,it's because she had them taken, she would never allow someone to have drugs in her home. My sister's boyfriend did some sneaky things and he got caught. He had been there a few hours. He did not live there, he did not live with me, she didn't even know he was in there and when she caught wind of his actions, she handled it the right way. Yes, I have been arrested before. For driving without a license. Are you people so perfect that you think that makes me a criminal? Do you know me at all before you say these things? I have no enemies, neither does my mother. We don't do people wrong, so why are you people so angry? Now, these past couple of days, what happened i will take responsibilty for. I was in my mother's house and i saw four teenagers/young adults running by her house to their parked car that was across the street so i went outside and i was screaming at them, not knowing they were so dangerous and had weapons. If i would have let them leave, they wouldn't have bothered the house at all, they did not know anyone who lived there and they dont know me. I promise that Lever's was not a target. That's soooo rediculous to say. My mother's daycare is a good one and it's not fair that you people are bashing it. I need people to know this was random, they were breaking into my house to steal t.v's. and they parked out front of my mom's house and walked up the street to my house. Now I needed you to know that because who the hell would park out front of someones mom's house and then go burgalarize the daughter's?THEY DID NOT KNOW ME!!!!!!! I thought sympathy would come from the public, this was scary for us. But no, you find some way to bash the daycare, that i do not work at because of people like you. People that have such strong opinions when they don't even have all the info. Well, you have it now,and i hope you can form a better opinion of the daycare now........based on the quality of the daycare, not the stupid sh#% i did when i was growing up.If anyone has any questions, You definitely know where to find me, you know everything else. It would be very juvenile to keep speaking down on the daycare without proof that the DAYCARE is what u say it is. You have opinions about me and mistakes I've made, bash me, not Lever's, but I suggest if you bash me, you should bring a mirror, because you were once young, but is there anonymous bloggers not letting you EVER forget what you've done? I think my family's been through enough this week. People tried to steal from me and scared the whole neighborhood,for NOOOOO reason. You don't think that coulda been you? Your absolutely right......OPEN YOUR EYES. P.S - if you remain anonymous you might as well not even say anything. By the way.... My neighbors love all of us,and always have,they know us,you don't.

Take out the trash

Apparently an education was not a priority in the Lever/Bolduc home. Gawd! If they failed so horribly with their own children how can anyone justify allowing these people to care for other people's children? The future of Lewiston ....

I will say that my child went to Levers daycare and they were a blessing to us. They provided wonderful care. My child still talks about his time there. This is a horrible situation but should not be put onto the daycare.

Shame on you!

Erica, you should be ashamed of yourself for all the touble you have caused your parents and neighbors. You are a sniveling brat. Your grandiose personality proves just what a pompous ass you really are. You were looking for sympathy? Forget it. Your neighbors are the true victims, not you. These people came to your house for a reason, because they knew YOU! They ran to your parents house because they knew them. People that burglarize homes do not discharge guns in the city, blowing out windows and drawing attention to themselves. The police may buy your story but I don't. Your family is out of control and I believe the parents who send their children to Lever's daycare should be very concerned for the welfare of their children.

I am sorry Erica

for what you are` going through, and I am glad you were brave enough to get on here and tell what happened.

But I am sorry to say that this will make no difference to Madeleine. She is sure she knows the truth, and she will dismiss your post as a lie to cover up some underlying crimes.

Well, i believe you. I have no reson not to, especially since I see no evidence otherwise.

Try to ignore Madeleine, she is a gossip machine and your incident was fuel for her hobby....which is getting into everybody else's business.

Good luck to you.

Why don't you shut up!

Leave Madeline alone fatand"nappy". She speaks the truth and that offends you. Why? Because you spend your days here antagonizing people and causing strife. I've never seen any one person receive so many disagrees as you do in one day. Shut up. If you think this situation with the Bolduc's should be taken lightly, then maybe Erica here can send her aquaintances to your house to blow the windows out in your neighborhood. Fat and "nappy" you're a complete jackass.

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

I am so glad that Madeleine and her followers have perfect lives. Unlike many of the rest of us, it seems that Madeleine and her family (including her ADULT children) have never done anything wrong in their lives. Unfortunately for the rest of us normal people, either we ourselves or our children have done something to give our family a bad name. We are all human and we all make mistakes, poor choices, etc. Unfortunately, some of those poor choices and bad decisions have affected our families, who are completely innocent in the whole thing. Such has happened to Jaime and Tom Bolduc. Decisions that their ADULT children have made have affected them and the rest of their family and in fact have caused them to be put in situations they normally would not have been in.
Since Madeleine likes to quote things out of text, I would like to cite some additional facts from
http://www.med.uscourts.gov/Opinions/Rich/2008
JHR_09262008_2-08cr11_USA_v_Dent_AFFIRMED_11172008.pdf.

In the 2008 incident involving drugs being found in the Bolduc home, the Bolducs were entirely cooperative with the investigation and Jaime in fact gave them permission to search any room in her house.

"[Officer Wayne] Clifford had no reason to believe that anyone at 81 Marble other than the defendant was involved in drug trafficking."

"Campbell then spoke to the Bolducs in their kitchen, assuring them that agents were seeking their cooperation in finding a bag left by the defendant, believed to contain crack, and were not otherwise interested in their home."

As you can see from the Magistrate's findings, the investigation was not into Tom or Jaime Bolduc, nor Erica or Meagan or any other member of their family. The investigation was that of the Defendant in said case and nothing more.
Madeleine, are you fooling yourself into believing that you are fully aware of the contents of every bag that has ever been brought into your home? I doubt it. Did you stand at your door and strip search every one of your children(s)' friends before they came in your house. If so, I highly doubt your children ever had any visitors.
Jaime took every precaution she could as a parent and a responsible adult to keep her family safe. She continues to do so.

"When Jaime discovered that the defendant had stayed overnight, she asked him not to, explaining that she had enough people in her home, including small children, and did not have an open-door policy. Because they have young children, the Bolducs have a household rule that no boyfriend is permitted to sleep overnight in their home."

Now, after reading that...does Jaime Bolduc sound like a horrible person with no morals? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

My three children attended Lever's Daycare for 5-12 years each. I NEVER had a problem with any of the Bolducs, nor did I ever question my sons' safety at the daycare or at the Bolducs home. You see, because my sons spent the majority of their early years, and before and after school through 6th grade at Lever's Daycare, they formed a bond not only with the staff at Lever's Daycare, but with the owner herself - yes, the owner, big bad Jaime Bolduc. Jaime and Tom and their entire family have been a constant support to me as a single mother. They are ALWAYS there to help me when I am struggling. My boys and I are always welcome in their home at any time and any of them would run to our aide if needed.

Don't any of you think for one minute that this is killing the Bolducs emotionally? Do you think they condone this activity in their home? Do you really think they like being the center of negative attention? Don't you think they are feeling bad enough about this happening to them (because, yes, they are victims here)? Do you think your nasty comments and pointing out all the negative things ever said about them is helping them? If you are so concerned about safety and other things, why don't you stop wasting your time bashing people you really don't know and stop talking about situations you know nothing about and spend a little time feeling sorry for them and thanking God that your family is so perfect.

Very few people know exactly what went on on Saturday night on Marble Street. Once the truth comes out, and you find out what really happened, maybe you'll shut up and eat your words. But probably not because you are so perfect that you probably can't admit when you are wrong either.

Excellent post Cathi

I respect Madeleine for raising her family and being a dedicated mother to her children.

But, she has got to be the biggest busybody in Maine because she knows absolutely everything about everybody that SJ writes a story about. (Or thinks she knows) And she doesn't mind sharing her knowledge with you, whether there is any truth to it or not.

I don't think she even realizes it, but she comes across as someone that thinks she is better than everyone else. Her arrogance is legendary on this forum. She won't hesitate a second to let you know that the mistakes others make in life are beneath her.

She actually sees herself as a sort of internet detective, the Jessica Fletcher of the web. Several times over the last year she has claimed to have solved murders through web research while the police are still conducting their investigations. If she could do that then wouldnt the police put her on the payroll?

Basically, I believe she is a good moral person, but she is also delusional in that she believes she is better than everyone else, and that she is an amateur detective.

She needs to stop dwelling on how bad everyone else is and start realizing that the only difference between her and the worst drug addict in town is "the Grace of God", because if it weren't for God's Grace and favor she could be just like them.

FatandHappy..

Was this Madeleine" bashing really necessary?....I don't think so...We are all entitled to our opinions...

fatandhappy's picture

Hey Angel

The problem is that Madeleine doesn't state her case as her opinion, she states it as pure fact. This is the 4th or 5th time in the past year she has gone on a crusade with a story to dig up all of the information she can find on the internet, then she puts together what she thinks happened, and then she states it as fact, not as her opinion. She cannot solve a police investigation just by what she finds on the internet. She has accused these people of dealing or possessing drugs on a previous occasion, even though they weren't arrested for it. She says they got off because they had their "friend" from the police dept there investigating. If you read the article, you will also see that Officer Wayne Clifford was also there investigating. Clifford is a member of the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency and I can assure you that he is the most gung ho cop in Maine.....and he would have arrested these people if he found even the slightest reason to. Clifford doesn't play around, and he for sure couldn't care less about somebodies relationship with another cop.

Madeleine has conjured up her version of what is going on with these people and she is relentless and careless about slinging her accusations around, with no evidence of truth other than her internet investigation. It is a travesty what she is doing to these people. If they are charged with a crime then they will be prosecuted in court, and punished if found guilty. But they don't deserve or need Madeleine's character assassination in the mean time.

Madeleine is not a cop, prosecutor, judge or jury. As a poster in this forum, she needs to base her opinion on facts, not speculation, and her opinion needs to be presented as opinion and not fact. Presenting wild speculation as fact is what starts rumors. That's why they call it gossip.

Gossip can really hurt people. Madeleine is a Christian, and as a Christian I am sure she knows what the Bible says about gossip.

Character assassination? Everything that woman posted was public knowledge and the truth. You are the most despicable troublemaker I have ever encountered in my life.

Just so you know, the only gossip I see on these pages is you there, "Fat" and "Nappy". I've also noticed along with Madeline how you have made up all sorts of fake profiles and you keep hitting the agree button for yourself. Pretty shallow if you ask me. You can agree with yourself all day and all night, you'll still never catch up to all the disagrees you have accumalated from those that disagree with everything you say. Go wag your tongue elsewhere.

Proof of your speculation turning into a lie

Fed-up, you said:

"You can agree with yourself all day and all night, you'll still never catch up to all the disagrees you have accumalated from those that disagree with everything you say. "

Click on my profile and look at the agree/disagree. Your statement above was completely fabricated, an absolute lie.

If you can't tell the truth about something as easy to verify as this, then how is anybody to believe anything you say?

Ok Fed-up

I have one profile and, your sixth grade bantor and school yard insults only degrade yourself, not me.

I have hundreds more "agrees" than I do "disagrees", but who cares. I wouldn't back off of what i believe to be right no matter how much you disagree.

Let the police do their jobs and stop posting speculation as fact.

You need to Grow-up, Fed-up.

Madeleine's picture

Perhaps you could pray before speaking....

It's to bad you didn't have the opportunity in becoming one of the Bolduc's neighbors, perhaps then you too would think differently. I am no amateur detective...I do not pretend to solve murder cases either, but I make sure to stay informed. You should too, especially if you have children and grandchildren. Your toungue wagging and your mindless rants prove exactly how out of touch you truly are.

Re: Madeleine

I have seen her posts in the past. I have disagreed with her stand and opinion on subjects (most memorable was her posts to the mother of the little boy who was setting fires). I am not a "Madeleine follower", I have my own opinions. The fact that her and I have the same thoughts on this article means nothing, except that we are more cautious with our children than the ones here defending the Bolduc/Lever family and their business, and the parents who continue to trust their children in their care.

Madeleine's picture

Responsibility and Accountability...

I do not live in a glass house. I also take responsinility for what goes on in my home...I am accountable! I would never allow my adult children and their adult friends (drug dealers) to live under my roof, or visit. Now you have accused me of quoting out of context when you can certainly see that I placed the link under each of my comments. hmmm. I'll bet you never thought about that. You are very valliant in coming to the aid of your friends. Yet you are part of the problem, Cathi. You may not mind what sort of business your daycare provider or their adult children are into...yet most of us do. That is the reason for background checks. As a Parent and Grandparent I would never allow my children to attend this daycare knowing the irresponssible behavior that was going on in the Bolduc household. If you can't supervise what is going on under your own roof...you will not supervise my grandchildren either. We are talking about drug dealing and shoot outs. We are not talking about little offenses. They are lucky that one of those bullets did not ricochet entering through the house of a neighbor and killing someone that was not involved in the Bolduc's disfunction.

I would like to ask you something, Cathi...Do these two daughters work at the daycare? Do they work at the front desk? What is to stop their drug dealing friends from stopping by at the daycare? They seem to think the Bolduc household is their second home...they always seen to be running there. So whats to stop them...Jaime? She has enabled this behavior by not turning all these punks over to the police.

"When Jaime discovered that the defendant had stayed overnight, she asked him not to, explaining that she had enough people in her home"

Let me tell you something, Cathi...I know who is in my house at all times, who is sleeping in my house...and what sort of people they are! Don't you?...especially when you have small children in your home?

Once the truth comes out?...The truth is they are very fortunate no one died Saturday night. I will say like the neighbors...Clean your act up...and if you can't, or if you won't...you have no business running a childrens daycare.

My family may not be perfect

My family may not be perfect but my children have never been watched by anyone associated with that daycare, and they have never been involved in drug busts, drive-by shootings, arrests, etc.

Ulterior motives???

The common ties between these two current articles is ironic to say the least.

Suggestion:

Would it be possible to start including a google map pin(s) in a frame. Maine places in L/A have even been street mapped. In particular, pins in stories about towns outside L/A.

Not all the readers know or remember where everything is in L/A.

This would add values for readers.

Keep up the good work.

Is everyone sleeping?

I find this so repulsive that I am just besides myself. This woman (Jaime Lever Bolduc) is the owner of Lever's daycare. She also lives across the street from Pettengill School. She has children living in her home...and they have found crack cocaine in her home and now a drive by shooting. Her daughters have both been in trouble with the law, they entertain drug dealers in Jaime's home and the daughter, Erica, also entertains drug dealers in her own home.
This morning I called my daughter and asked her if while my grandchild attended Lever's daycare if either of these two daughters worked at the daycare facility. She said there was an Erica and a Meagan that worked at the front desk. If these are Jaime Lever Bolduc's two daughters, what on earth are they doing working at a daycare. Are there not any background checks being done at this facility? Does the City of Lewiston or the State of Maine check to see who is working in daycare facilities? This is just unconscionable.

And what about the Lewiston police department? Seems to me that when Jaime is in trouble or her daughters are in trouble they call police officers that Jaime has a rapport with.
"She asked that agents contact Lewiston Police Detective Trevor Campbell, with whom she had developed a rapport. Agents did so." (October 22, 2007)

I couldn't help but notice that the night of the drive by shooting, low and behold, Lewiston Police Detective Trevor Campbell photographs a bullet hole in a window at the home of Tom and Jamie Bolduc at 81 Marble St.

Perhaps it is a coincidence, but I find it disturbing!

Just last week...

Just last week I was attacked for commenting on Levers Daycare and the behavior of their owners/employees. It must just be a coincidence that this trouble follows such upstanding people, who run a five star childcare facility. (<--- sarcasm) As I said before, I would prefer to leave my children tied on runners in the back yard than trust them to those people.

They are fighting the clinic being placed in the raceway area yet associate with known drug users. Ironic, huh?

I didn't fight against you....

I don't believe I even commented on that story. I am very ashamed and I am very sorry that I told my daughter this was a good place to take my grandchild. I am heart sick over it. I agree with everything you have stated today, EyeRoll.
