omg! 1 in 10 for such a severe event is absolutely very common. wow wow wow. |
Former parent who interacted with him at NCRC - I thought he was cold and strange, and had an odd gut feeling about him; I avoided the whole outplacement process with him and didn't want to be beholden to him; he was an odd man; not to the extent that I would have expected any of this to come out - but I will say my "gut" was telling me to stay away. |
there’s zero basis to believe he never did any of this in person. and the schools apparently aren’t actively trying to find out and are trying to push the narrative that it was “just” looking at CSAM. |
Agree 100000% -- and there needs to be a new "therapist/counselor" who is arms-length from James Carroll, who can look at this situation with clear eyes. The current counselor should step down for a year long sabbatical, as she is too close to this situation and should herself seek help. Need an outsider to come in, help process this without denial, and offer screenings for kids if their parents want to do it. Being overly nice, telling people to be quiet, or not talk about it with their children, is tantamount to asking everyone to put their head in the sand - or - "DON'T LOOK UP!" style gaslighting. |
Of course, because they have much more opportunity to be alone with the child. |
The point is that acting like it’s some big problem with males working with kids which lots of stated here and realize that as horrible as this was that eliminating the male educators from your child’s life amonst this hysteria here, and basically avoiding men in the field when odds are that it’s still not as common as with people that are in your family or close friends. |
… who are also men btw. |
Maybe you missed the part in this thread that females have been caught with high school boys quite a bit, as well |
What does that mean? Do you mean that people will attribute any unexpected or ‘different’ behaviours to cultural differences? |
The schools should be aggressively looking for any and all possible abuse, that is indisputable and they have handled this terribly. But there is not ZERO basis to consider that it may have been limited to online when he did not take the bragging rights of having abused in real life when asked by the UC who he thought was another pedo. |
In all seriousness - why would NCRC parents need this spelled out them? It should be obvious. The HOS is an extreme pervert. He had access to your child in some capacity. A logical next step is to start the difficult process of determining if your child was abused. This is best handled by a pediatrician or the police, not the school who has little to no interest in abuse being uncovered. I don’t see what their role is. |
Just to be clear, parents should not be talking about this with their kids, and NCRC should absolutely not be hiring someone to talk to kids, because it's really easy to end up with witness statements thrown out due to leading questions. If a parent has any concern, they should talk to law enforcement. If someone needs to talk to a child, it should be someone who has professional expertise in this area, and who is know to law enforcement, and probably selected by or works for law enforcement. That is not gaslighting that's protecting children. |
This is crazy. I read the statute and the complaint, and I don't think the behavior detailed in the complaint fits the statute. I'm sure it must violate child exploitation laws, but the statute cited doesn't seem to cover adults encouraging other adults to abuse children. Am I missing something? I hope he's behind bars for the rest of his life, so please don't misinterpret what I'm saying. And I know the FBI may find evidence of other things. I'm just talking about what was needed to get the arrest warrant.

Law enforcement should be looking for any and all possible abuse. The schools need to step back and let law enforcement do their job. They should absolutely not be investigating on their own. |
DP. Hopefully an outside counselor will be available to all students there to do screenings. Maybe an outside counselor NOT found by NCRC but they pay the cost or something like that? I would think he had little interaction with the kids alone as the HOS. Wishful thinking maybe but that would be my thoughts that he was not given many opportunities. I would assume the teachers there would be asked if he ever was alone with kids and if so when and where and in what capacity and go from there... |
