Maybe we can give women the right to vote, if they are not too busy changing diapers

I am an educator from Baltimore who knows DJ but I would not says we are friends. I also have had to deal with sexual abuse, our son was touched by a family friend. We felt extreme grief and sadness, and we also felt blame. Both my husband and I wondered what we could have done differently to have prevented this. The police detective tried to assure us that it was not our fault. Sick people who molest children are hidden in our society. They can be men or women. They can be family or friends. It is usually impossible to know who they are. As I read your posts and your blame for DJ, it is like a knife in my heart. It is as if you are saying, my child’s abuse was my fault. I’m crying as I write this. I guess we need someone to blame, I’m just praying my son does not blame me.

I’m so so sorry for what you and your son have gone through and I hope you are all getting the help you need to heal. I respectfully disagree that your situation is the same as for the school though. If your son and other family members had all told you that something about this family friend was inappropriate (but maybe not quite abusive) wouldn’t you pay more attention to what this friend did? The school was in that situation and didn’t pay attention and ignored the warning signs. Also, as parents you aren’t necessarily trained in what to look for but teachers and school administrators are and should have known better. It’s definitely not my intention to make you feel any guilt for what happened to your son. Merely to point out that the situation is not the same.

As I stated in my post, I am an educator, just like DJ. I read your posts about their being prior knowledge, but it did not seem suspicious enough for you to go to the authorities. It is hard to determine what is suspicious until after the fact. I know I look back at my situation and wonder what I missed. I’m sure DJ, as well as her staff, are doing the same thing. I know you want to blame someone, just as I want to blame myself. What I know of DJ and her reputation here in Baltimore, she would not intentionally put children in danger. It’s always easier to second guess after the fact.

Not to derail but can someone inform me about the previous issues at temple Sinai? This is the first time hearing about it and I didn’t find anything when I searched

Who are you? Why do you continually defend them?

I just read the above posts and was wondering why there is so much hate towards the school when there has not been an arrest, let alone a conviction. It’s a good thing we do not live in Russia. It’s hard to believe you want to judge with little or no facts. I, also, would like to know where the investigation is going, or what way the police are leaning. If anyone on here has any real information, please share.

What "hate" exactly?

Maybe the person meant “blame”

This seems like a very inappropriate remark

[Anonymous]

Child abuse is grossly inappropriate.

Could it be a possibility that there is no evidence to support these claims or allegations, nothing has been found yet in the investigation and that this is a tragic mistake? When there is abuse and evidence found, the hammer comes down fast and comes down loud. There would have been an arrest.

We can only pray that this is a big misunderstanding.

You asked for someone’s name because they had a different view than you. Then you respond back with a flamboyant response

The police, appearently, have not made a decision one way or the other. There is no arrest and they have not dropped the case. But we can always pray that you are correct.

+1. I think there is some sock puppeting going on as well. Those who are blaming the parents are really sick, IMO.
