Parents need to be the PARENTS and know that they (not NCRC) are the only ones who truly care about the well being of their children

I suspect you are not even a parent but rather an unhinged lunatic that believes in conspiracy theories?

Parents know how to parent and don’t need you to come on ranting like a lunatic!

Actually! I don t think he is a lunatic. Many parents after the scandal were trying to force other parents to bring their kids at school to support the teachers and the school. Some parents felt like they were shamed because they decided to keep their children home.

I can’t believe parents would pressure other parents to bring their kids to school less than 24 hours after the news broke. That’s really messed up. And exactly the kind of peer dynamics that let institutions off the hook.

It wasn’t pressure in the sense of something evil, as you might imagine. It was more like, “No, you should bring your kids. The teachers and the school need our support,” repeated constantly. There were many text messages encouraging parents to bring their children. In the end, I think more parents decided to keep their kids at home anyway.

The teachers needed time to stay home and process the terrible news too. I can’t believe they were asked to come back the very next day.

Except for the parents who knew in their gut there was something amiss. But never spoke of it to others. Never raised concerns.

What did you expect them to do? Call the police for him being unfriendly?

The reality is no one had concerns about this man being predatory towards children or engaging in anything illegal. That’s what makes it so scary. We should blame the parents.

That was my point. People coming here to say they got a bad feeling about him but didn’t do anything but avoid him or walk away are being applauded. But the parents who never had an inkling are getting roasted for not doing anything.

The average person is not going to see it. Especially when interactions are so brief. To paraphrase a favorite movie, no one is going to be taken in by a guy who looks and acts like a pedophile. He’ll be nice. He’ll be attractive. But he’ll be the devil.

It’s clear there are posters with a grip against the Cathedral schools. This man hasn’t been on the close since 2008 and no allegations of misconduct have been made about made against him during that time. Why is it more likely to have happened at BVR and not CH?

He created the discord account while at bvr. That info is 3 days old so we have no idea the damage done while he was there. But it’s likely not great. He was at CH for only 1 year and was interviewing mid year. And well the creepy Toth 3rd grade connection at bvr. And the working relationship he continued to have with bvr while at ncrc too- when he left CH he was done.

He was at bvr for 10 years, ncrc since 2018. While at ncrc since 2018 he was talking, meeting with and visiting with bvr constantly. CH connection def not great but the bvr and ncrc damage seems so much worse.

I doubt he had access to kids at BVR though after he left. He may have used his computer there which is gross but if he was there it would have been to meet with admissions people.

He worked at BVR until 2016.

There is no evidence in the affidavit that he ever used his computer at Beauvoir (though obviously he did when he worked there). Beauvoir is only mentioned one time in the affidavit and that is in connection to the school's address being used on his AT&T mobile phone account.

He did work there though until 2016 as he was the outplacement director for us.

I understand. But the affidavit does not cover any activities from that time period. Posters keep suggesting that he engaged in his nefarious activities at Beauvoir. He may have, but there has been no evidence of that so far.

I certainly hope not as I just found out he was meeting with kids alone as outplacement director despite the previous head saying teachers and staff were NOT allowed alone with kids as a safety measure post Toth…..

He was outplacement director for my kids at Beauvoir.

I will add we had no red flags about him at all. We love Beauvoir and are not looking to blame them or anyone. He kept up a very British professional manner and I would not have guessed any of it.

Most parents aren’t educated about recognizing the red flags.

I am particularly interested in the phenomenon where cops, prosecutors, and other experts say there are ways to know but not ways to know all the time therefore anyone could be capable of this but then internet posters who “DONE THEIR RESEARCH” are so adamant that everyone is just dumb or uninformed if they couldn’t see this coming.

Exactly. It’s all so heartbreaking. I’d never trust these schools again.

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.

See United States v. McMillan. The Court of Appeals held the evidence was sufficient convict him because the statute extends to prosecution of adult-to-adult communications that are designed to persuade a minor to commit the forbidden acts. The Court agreed with six other circuits that have so held, declining to read the statute as narrowly as argued by McMillan. The statute not only prohibits actual persuasion of the minor, but also attempts to persuade and the best way to persuade a minor to commit an act is to enlist the help of a trusted friend, relative, or associate.

Hasn't served teachers at all, they had to resume as they were shaking. Thankfully they will have a break this week.
