The man, later identified as Freddie James Latham, 83, of Red Bluff, approached the girl, grabbed her hand and held it with- out saying anything, according to a press release issued Sunday by the Red Bluff Police Department. Latham is required to register as a sex offender and is on parole, the release said. He has previous convictions for harming or molesting a child under 18 years of age and continuous sexual abuse of a child. After a couple of seconds, the victim saw a school bus drive by and was able to pull her hand away from Latham. According to the release, Latham then walked away through a field but was found near the area of Crosby Road and Spyglass Drive. Latham, a resident of the area where the in- cident took place, had been monitored by a pa- role ankle monitor. Latham was arrested for violations of his pa- role conditions and booked into Tehama County Jail. He is being held without bail. The Red Bluff Police Department encourages parents to talk to their children about avoiding strangers, according to the release. The depart- ment recommends children who walk to school should walk with an adult or in a group. CRIME Mangrabs child'sarm, arrestedby RBpolice By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF A discussion forum on how to get involved in helping Tehama County's foster chil- dren and other volunteer opportunities is sched- uled to be held 4-6 p.m. Wednesday at the Te- hama County Department of Edcuation build- ing on Lincoln Street. Those interested are encouraged to join the conversation or come for more information on how they can help. This forum is the product of the Expect More Summit held at the end of 2014 as a follow up to volunteer recruitment, said Tehama County Su- perior Court Judge Matthew McGlynn, who is among those spearheading this project. Presenters Sherry Wehbey, Department of Social Services for county foster parents, Nena Penza and Mike Logan, private foster care agen- cies, Geneva Jobe, CASA, Tara Corey, Restore, and Melissa Mendonca, from Tehama County Men- toring program, will discuss the different volun- teer programs available to assist underprivileged children and ways in which community can help. The hope is that some people will be able to sign up to be a foster parent or be able to partic- ipate in these volunteer programs, McGlynn said. Foster agencies will talk about what it takes to be a foster parent and what to expect, McG- lynn said. Mendonca will discuss her program, which works on bringing adults and children together YOUTH Forumplanned on volunteer opportunities Community.....A3 Health..............A4 Lifestyles........A5 Opinion............A6 Sports..............
