Thousands have signed an online petition calling for convicted child rapist and former priest Paul Shanley to live in a treatment facility where he will have no access to children.
As of 10 p.m. Friday, more than 13,700 people signed the petition, which also calls for Shanley’s whereabouts to be monitored with a GPS bracelet.
“This is a dangerous man and we all know it,” said Matan Uziel , the founder of a women’s rights advocacy group, who launched the petition.
Uziel hopes the petition will create “positive pressure” that will prompt authorities to do something
The petition urges the Archdiocese of Boston and the state — misidentified as “the State of Boston” — to work to place Shanley in a treatment facility.
