CURRENTLY LIVE IN ALAMOGORDO.// A GROUP OF FARMINGTON RESIDENTS IS CAMPAIGNING TO GET ONE MAN FIRED FROM HIS JOB. THERE'S A COMMUNITY EFFORT TO OUST A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER WHO'S NOW WORKING AROUND KIDS. AUSTIN REED IS LIVE IN FARMINGTON WITH MORE. SEVERAL RESIDENTS ARE PUTTING UP THESE FLYERS AROUND TOWN. THEY WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW ABOUT JIM EDWARD BLOOMFIELD AND WHERE HE'S FOUND A PLACE TO WORK. JIM EDWARD BLOOMFIELD WAS CONVICTED OF MOLETSTING A CHILD TWENTY YEARS AGO. HE DID HIS TIME -- SERVING 15 YEARS IN PRISON. NOW BLOOMFIELD'S A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER LIVING NEXT DOOR TO WHERE HE WORKS -- THE FRONTLINE MISSION. IT'S A NON-PROFIT SHELTER FOR HOMELESS AND LOW INCOME FAMILIES. BUT SOME FARMINGTON RESIDENTS SAY BLOOMFIELD IS TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT. 'there is no way this should be happening''the man should not be working around children''well i think it's absurd. the man has committed a horrendous crime against children. he should not have contact at all with them' GERALD BARBER USED TO WORK WITH BLOOMFIELD. HE KNEW ABOUT BLOOMFIELD'S PAST AND FOUND OUT THIS WEEK THAT HE'S NOW WORKING WITH KIDS. SO HE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. 'nats: sir, do you have children, yeah i have grandchildren, well i'd like you to see this please' BARBER AND A FEW OTHERS STARTED POSTING FLYERS AROUND THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND IN LOCAL BUSINESS'S ALERTING PEOPLE ABOUT JIM EDWARD BLOOMFIELD. 'i'm glad somebody is taking action, and doing something about it'WE TRIED TO TALK TO BLOOMFIELD -- TO HEAR WHAT HE THINKS OF THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST HIM 'don't aim that thing at me' HE DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TO US. WE ALSO SPOKE TO HIS BOSS -- THE SHELTER OWNER OFF CAMERA. HE SAYS HE GIVES EVERYONE A SECOND CHANCE IN LIFE. BUT BARBER FEELS BLOOMFIELD IS JUST TOO MUCH OF A RISK. 'i want them to make sure he gets out' THE FRONTLINE MISSION IS INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND CAN EMPLOY ANYONE THEY CHOOSE. REPORTING LIVE IN FARMINGTON, AUSTIN REED, EWN 4!  « Less
