Elizabeth Smart Sounds Alarming Warning: Is a New Nightmare Looming After Decades of Silence?
Ever wonder how someone convicted of a heinous crime ends up living just a stone’s throw from the very place innocence should be safest — an elementary school? Wanda Barzee, once branded by Elizabeth Smart as a “menace to society” and no less guilty than her partner-in-crime, astonishingly walked free in 2018. Now a registered sex offender, Barzee’s unsettling proximity to young children has reignited the debate on how we protect our communities from past predators, especially when mental health snafus cloud the picture. Elizabeth’s heartfelt plea echoes louder than ever: Shouldn’t those with histories of abuse be housed miles away from schools and playgrounds? Meanwhile, Barzee’s ongoing legal rollercoaster and her attorney’s candid admission about her mental health add layers of complexity that make this story anything but black-and-white. Buckle up — this one’s a wild ride through justice, safety, and what it truly means to protect the vulnerable. LEARN MORE
Even though Smart vehemently condemned Barzee as a menace to society and blamed her just as much as her husband, the mentally unstable woman was freed in 2018.

A terrified Smart said in a statement: “Every possible caution and protection should be taken when it comes to protecting our children.
“Whether a person is deemed a current threat or if they have a history of child abuse, neglect, sexual violence, etc., prudent measures should be taken, including housing them as far away as possible from schools, families and community centers.”
