Another MCPS security worker arrested for sex offense

[Anonymous]

The security guard looks like a student. I am very surprised they hired such a young security guard. He is only 21 years.

Interesting point. I did not see his age. 21 seems young.

I'm the PP who said that I don't want MCPS to e-mail me about every incident at any of the 200 MCPS schools. What would I do with this information?

I'd ask if they heard about it, are kids talking about it, do they know the accused in any way, do they ever feel uncomfortable about teachers or coaches or staff or kids at school and do they know they can always come and talk to me about anything..... The answers surprise me.

When the incident happened at Rockville, I asked my DD if she knew any girls at Rockville and how they were feeling. Turns out lots of girls feel creeped out and unsafe at school (of course), and the Rockville incident reminds them all how vulnerable they are no matter where they go to school. Asking also opened up a conversation about peer on peer date rape at our school. DD has friends who have been sexually assaulted, and are struggling emotionally. And then there's the impact of seeing a peer come forward with accusations of rape and basically nothing happening to the accused and the victim being painted as a slut. So, even though the Rockville incident didn't happen at our school, it has a huge impact on DD. Turns out there is a HS grapevine, and DD also knows about other assaults and how they were handled at other schools. All total during HS, DD had 2 teacher sexual incidents at her school, knows of 2 rapes at least, knows about at least 2 other incidents at other schools plus the Rockville thing.

I'm glad I asked. I had no idea how much DD was exposed to.

Not when compared with a 14 year old!

This.

The kids hear about this stuff before the parents do. And, if you don't see it on here or on the news, it's possible you'll have no idea.

I have no idea how anyone can read about this sh$t over and over and over again and think NBD. It is incredibly obvious that MCPD does not have it's act together and that the safety of our kids is not a priority.

Once again an employee has been arrested. There was no background check done on him nor was there any done on the last 25 employees who were arrested for sex offenses.

Please don't call fingerprinting a background check. It is nothing more than a check to see if the person submitting the fingerprints has ever been arrested before. It has nothing to do with predictive behavior at other school systems or in private life.

Sometimes the check does reveal past arrests yet the clueless Human Resources people are either stupid or don't care.

A real background check takes months. A prospective police employee can usually expect a six-nine month background investigation. At this time MCPS does not employ one person who is qualified to do a background check. It would be expensive to hire people who are qualified and that is why this school system relies on fingerprint checks.

Yet again, no notice to parents.

How do you know? Do you have a child at Col. E. Brooke Lee Middle School?

I don't have one at Rockville or Richard Montgomery and one went out. Your point?

Do you want an announcement of every incident that occurs at any one of the 200+ schools in MCPS? I infer from DCUM that there are people who do. I don't.

For sexual assault cases to minors from teachers, coaches, security, or staff? Absolutely.

How awful.
And this in one of the richest counties in the world. Where does the money go if it's not to protect the students?
They shouldn't be getting beaten up or sexually assaulted st school. How can any of these county council politicians or high level administrators even accept a salary while young children are being abused? Seems like all of the county money is going to developers and whoever else high level people are buddies with. Time to clean house .

Maybe there should be a class action lawsuit filed by the girls of the county because they have to go to school - and even after school activities - in a hostile environment.

I remember being in MS/HS and being at school after dark because I was involved in sports and stuff. Waiting outside for rides, etc.

My DD is only in ES, but this is pretty crazy. Seems like there is definitely a predatory environment against young teen girls in MCPS.

They can't give up their salarys or they would be able to afford to live in the type of places where this type of stuff doesn't happen. Make no mistake, this stuff happens due to administrative neglect and it always seams to happen in he same types of areas that consistently are neglected. Do you think in any scenario Churchill hires a 21 year old Latino man for security? Or do they pay a little more and get highly supervised elder professionals?

this is why parents need to keep an eye on on our children regarding technology. This man knew what he was doing but did not care. This 14 years loved the attention she was getting that is why she continued. She is very naive and he took advantage of her.. This is why 14 year olds do not need cell phones!!!
