Community group targets porn in local stores
In Chanute a neighborhood faith group moved to remove X rated films after a middle school boy was seen charging admission to view such tapes. The effort, driven by pastors and residents, led to three of four video stores pulling X rated movies and is backed by about 20 to 30 attendees per meeting with 15 pastors ready to help.
