Is this their idea of a teacher?
What the heck? You might get lucky and your kids will never, ever run across a “teacher” like this one: “obsessed” with vampires (oh, for cryin’ out loud) and taking obscene pictures of the children in his care (https://www.breitbart.com/pre-viral/2025/02/09/report-leftist-vampire-obsessed-afterschool-teacher-accused-sexually-abusing-girls-nyc/).
No, he hasn’t been fired yet. Are you kidding? He got away with these capers for three years and nothing happned. It was left up to the children’s parents to sue the school district.
Mr. Wonderful had a partner in crime who helped him conceal his activities.
Go ahead, send your kids to public school. It’s possible that nothing bad will happen. Roll the dice, parents. Go ahead and roll the dice.
Absolutely disgusting. Sexual abuse of children is an abomination and for someone in a position of public trust to engage in such things is beyond reprehensible. That such a thing could go unreported is a terrible breach of public trust. Will everyone responsible for these events actually face justice?
What’s even worse is that apparently it WAS reported but nothing was done about it.
Meanwhile, how are you? Are you still in the hospital? Praying for you every day and every night.
I’d be amazed if they did.
I can’t imagine the response of a teacher had been caught molesting a child, back in my school days. The public outcry would have been deafening and the DA had better assemble an airtight case, or face defeat in the next election cycle. I don’t think that there would have been vigilante action, but the citizens would have demanded justice be served by the proper authorities.
Once upon a time they would’ve hanged him.
I can’t support leniency when it comes to child molesters. I knew a young woman who had been sexually abused as a child. She was a lovely person, full of goodness and love, but she was so traumatized by what happened to her as a child that she required serious medication which eventually killed her. A child exposed to sexual abuse is believed to cause problems in the developing brain which enlarge the amygdala which causes an exaggerated fear response. In some cases, an abused child can live in a state of alarm for the rest of their lives.
I wish I had an ironclad solution, but as the story above suggests, even when there are procedures designed to safeguard against abuse, individuals can still break the rules. The best advice I could come up with is for parents to be VERY guarded about putting their children under the care of others. Even within churches, there have been cases where children have been molested by persons in positions of trust.
It’s a sad commentary on how badly our civilization has deteriorated, but it’s obvious that the safety of children is far from assured in our time.
Sometimes I feel like I grew up on another planet. Once, when I was about 5 years old, I wandered away from my house, into the woods, and got lost.
A man on the street took me directly back home (although I don’t know how I was able to give him accurate directions). He wasted no time about it, either.
The world in which I grew up was one where most adults were trustworthy and protective towards children. I don’t understand what has happened to our civilization where there are so many people who don’t behave this way, anymore. How can someone see a child and want to harm them? Obviously, something terribly wrong is going on in the minds of such persons.
I see where the federal dept. of education is to be no longer – boo-hoo, NOT.
It’s Jimmy Carter’s legacy–a gift that keeps on taking.
