No one said that, mr defender. Why are you making up that? |
I do think that sex abuse of young children is epidemic. Arrests seem to be happening every week, just in our local public schools. It’s the tip of the iceberg. And all the perpetrators are men. |
| Is the police investigation of Steven Rossi still ongoing? |
With all that illegal child porn, you don't think Rossi was interested in some actual experience? |
Your assumption that someone at the party must be watching even if some parents are not is exactly the reason why little kids drown in backyards during parties and big family gatherings. |
He may very well be and could of leaped to that, or was planning on it, and it’s great that he got caught. My point is that it wouldn’t be at a bday party or public show, because a parent would of called police and his ass would be hauled off. Bday parties or festival shows isn’t a place this Knick knack would do that as he’s never in a position to be alone with kids. Parents don’t disappear from the scene. They are there. If he was going to leap to harming a kid, it would be in his life outside of performing, in my opinion. Look, my kids are too old for performers, now, but when they we’re little I’d get them balloon artist, singers, Facepainter’s, magicians and they had a great time. I had one performer over for a few years, and we’ve become friends, where we’ve hung out a couple times. Most men are not predators and unfortunately schools, coaches, and now, a kid’s performer has been arrested. I was the one that posted that it’s the first time we’ve heard about anything like this about a performer, but it’s like any other industry. Most teachers aren’t bad and most people that make their living working with kids aren’t predators. I’m thrilled they arrested this guy and hopefully nothing else comes out about him physically harming some kid. |
Oh, that’s so heartbreaking, as a story like this happened in McLean a few years back. We’re going in circles. I’m glad this guy is being hauled off to jail. In my personal experience, it’s different than parents being distracted near a pool drowning. Lots of drownings are very silent as a kid disappears under water. I never hired Knick knack, but had he stopped playing music, the whole purpose of the hiring and disappeared, someone would of noticed he was gone, as music stopped. I don’t see it, maybe you do. I’m done with this conversation. |
| What about the mom on this thread who hired Steven Rossi, and then found him a corner with her child? You naysayers here are ignoring that. Why? |
|
Oh, and Mr. Rossi cornered her child AFTER his show. And right in FRONT of parents and other children. Pedophiles have tons of tricks up their sleeves to sexually assault your children. And you may never know for sure... |
Didn’t the mom say she sent her husband over while he was singing to her kid? Something made her feel uncomfortable and she was over there and hopefully this guy is never around another kid. Ever. I’ve used entertainers and never had a creepy experience, but I’m glad that mom was vigilant. I looked it up, and apparently Knick knack has trial in June and hopefully he’ll go to jail. |
Which entertainers have you hired? Recommend any? |
She said she didn't know if he had already molested her child. What do YOU think mr knick knack was doing to her child off in the corner? |
Crickets. His actions speaks for themselves. Parents beware of these men wanting to get next to your children. |
What men? Mr Knick knack is one man that did a horrible thing. Do you keep your kid away from all teachers and coaches when you hear a horrible thing? Knick knack is a person, who it sounds like made a lot of people uncomfortable. Do your research. People have google reviews or whatever. I’m just saying I agree with the few posters that have had positive experiences with entertainers. Hire someone or don’t. I just think painting an entire industry bad because of a sick, disgusting guy isn’t good. Yes, being a guy and a father, the Knick knack thing or hearing about a male teacher that preys on kids is horrible. It pisses off men, too, when we hear these things. |
| Little kids just don't need unrelated men hanging around them. Much safer to have a woman. Why take chances if you don't have to? That's my bottom line. Way too much horrific stuff happening with men sexually assaulting children around here. I don't know about the rest of the country. |
