Anti-Rape
Review for Operation Nightwatch Portland, Portland, OR, USA
This is a naive group that is unintentionally causing harm in the community. They have not addressed the design flaw whereby they attract both dangerous men and naive volunteers who are told that all they need is a smile. Their volunteer Nikki Powell was raped and murdered by a ON client and lay decomposing in her apartment for three full weeks with no family or fellow volunteers to check on her disappearance. The same homeless men who knew that sex offender Mark Beebout had moved on Nikki are at ON- you can meet them yourself. This group's extreme "turn the other cheek" approach puts volunteers at risk- along with lax security.

Our standards are more stringent than this reviewer would stereotype them. Those standards are set by our Board of Directors, among whom are a retired mental health worker, medical professionals, several lawyers, and a former Multnomah County prosecutor. Anyone is indeed welcome to visit and meet those who come to our Hospitality Centers, which would likely serve to bust other stereotypes this reviewer sets.
