MARYSVILLE, Wash. -- A Marysville woman says her family's life was turned upside down when she learned sex offenders were living next door, and now she hopes her family's story will be a warning to others.

KOMO News first introduced viewers to the Morck family in July, when Michelle called the Problem Solvers for help after discovering the vacant home next to hers was housing multiple sex offenders.

Known as the Mack House, the structure is a place for recovering addicts, those with mental health issues and sex offenders.

Michelle pleaded with the Marysville City Council to move the home to another location, but city leaders said that decision would have to be made by the state.
