Karla Homolka's children exposed to fearful community in Châteauguay, Que.
Karla Homolka served time for her crimes but news that she has enrolled her young children in a public school in a Montreal suburb has raised hard questions from parents and from those who worry her children will be treated as pariahs. Should the family be left alone?
Karla Homolka served 12 years in prison for her role in the kidnapping, rape and murder of teenagers Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French, as well as the death of her own sister, Tammy.
This week it was revealed that she's living in Chateauguay, Que., under the name, Leanne Teale, and that her three children attend a local school.
It's hard news to process for local residents, who now must strike a balance — between their own fears, and the need to protect the children of a convicted criminal. 
Montreal criminal lawyer Eric Sutton says Karla Homolka has served her time and legally has the right to live where she chooses.
