Mr. Bianchi: How can this man ever be trusted to protect our children?!

A 12-year-old girl got a series of text messages from her mother's boyfriend, Woodstock police Sgt. Charles "Chip" Amati, according to copies of the messages obtained by the Tribune. One message, punctuated with a text emoticon shaped like a heart, read, "Send me some sexy pictures!" The girl's mother said she alerted authorities, and Illinois State Police investigators discovered something else - that Amati had used a taxpayer-funded law enforcement database to run an illegal background check on the mother.

Sgt. Amati who earns over $90,000/year was not charged and received only a slap on the wrist, 30-day suspension that he can take anytime throughout the year.

Sign this petition demanding a full investigation into his behavior and to find out if he has engaged in this type of predatory behavior with other underage children.
