This seems very odd to me as well and definitely a red flag. Why on earth would a teacher accompany a family on vacation. Just weird altogether. Someone's common sense was out on vacay on this one.

I completely disagree with this idea, especially in this city. Male teachers are the only positive male role models some of these children see on a regular basis.

NP. Sorry, but there's something weird about grown men who don't have kids who chose to be surrounded by them. Why on earth would a grown ass man want to be surrounded by kids? In our home we've discussed this often as we train our kids to be safe. All the adult men I know- husband, brother, dad, FIL, friends' husbands, etc... Agreed there is something not right about adult men who seek out positions that involve children. The only men that are okay are those with kids and chose, for example, to coach little leaugue or lead cub scouts. I would not allow my child to participate in a group where a single man or a weird married one seeks out alone time or has the opportunity for alone time with kids. If the adult had even the slightest of common sense they wouldn't get involved either. This is happening so often, the time is now for extreme skepticism.

Considering the evidence, the perp had to admit guilt.
Let's not fool ourselves here.

He's been abusing kids for a while. And now finally got caught. Red handed.


I knew it. God only knows how many poor children he's MOLESTED in that Oyster School. Lots of very well to do families there. Even rich kids aren't safe anymore. I feel so sorry for them all.


Sexual abuse affects children of all races, ethnicities, and income level. "Rich kids" have never been safe from sexual abuse.

But you'd think that such a wealthy population might have better safety measures in place. My kid used to be in a very rich elementary public school. There was nothing any teacher wanted for her class, and didn't get. Amazing how that works.

This just goes to show us how rich educated parents can be as easily duped, as poor uneducated families. Most parents are just too busy to pay enough attention to their own kid, to recognize when there's something criminal going on. How long was this particular child being molested? God only knows. Hope the child molester burns in hell. Ya think this will get deleted, because I'm not hiding my anger with this perverted predator? How would you feel towards a man who was doing this to your ten year old son? Would you be wishing him a successful defence team of lawyers in the courtroom?

All of our sons are potential prey to these perverts.

So male teachers are bad, but little league and Cub Scout coaches are ok. You are very naive.

Females get caught up with male students all the time.

Should we just hire virtual teachers?

All men who seek out positions with children are deserving of extreme scrutiny. There's a mitigated risk with dad Cub Scout leaders and dad little league coaches, but a risk just the same. The Penn state coach was a father and perhaps one of most notorious abusers on record. Sorry if you're offended. Children safety trumps your annoyance. Naive, son, is your first name.

Male predators out number females by something like 10:1. You're trying to discredit an apples argument with oranges. Sure, a small number of women molest; however, children are a lot more likely to fall victim to males. While all educators deserve a degree of scrutiny, males deserve an extreme level. If your goal is to keep kids safe, not sure why you would argue against that.

He has multiple kids, right? Boys, girls, bio and adopted.

We'll never know how many people just decided to look the other way.
Don't you be one of those.

Why not allow a vetted female volunteer into the classroom?
Remember when a male gynecologist would have to have a female nurse with him? That wasn't so long ago, believe or not.


male gynecologists still have a female nurse with them with they visit (at least mine does when I have my pap test done). it is to protect THEMSELVES from patients who could storm out of the room yelling "he molested me" and get $$$$$, certainly not to protect the patients.

What a sad and suspicious life you must lead. As the parent of boys and girls I rejoice when we have had the opportunity to have male teachers in the classroom. They bring a different energy for the boys to respond to and encourage positive images of men for the girls. We have had wonderful and loving experiences. Do not let this abhorrent example make anyone feel otherwise who has had a positive experience or will have one in the future.
People, there is no one to fault in this aside from this sick,sick individual. We are not loving or protecting our children too little or trusting too much. These horrible things will happen, to our and all good peoples dismay, and we can only love the victim and family more and wish they can heal. They answer is NOT to disallow male teachers from the classroom. Come on are we so foolish to believe this?

Im the poster you're quoting. Agreed 100%. Men with and without kids, married and single need to be scrutinized. The fallout thereafter when pedophiles do their damage warrants extreme caution with this. We need to be more proactive in preventing abuse and skepticism is a place to start.
