I think she is great too. The staff at Cooper is amazing, and if you have not read the Post article about the boy who literally died at field day and was saved by the staff, you should.

That being said, Rademacher was the walking definition of a red flag. Maybe because he was off in one of the modular classrooms, or not wanting to rock the boat with a fellow teacher, or some kind of weird professional courtesy, but I have to believe he must have given a decent number of the teachers and staff at Cooper the creeps. But no one did anything, at least not in a way that prevented anything from happening.

Can you name the other red flags? Tons of teachers are in modular classroom/trailers, I cannot see how that would be a red flag.

People who didn't fear being "judgemental" saw the red flags. So did the kids.

His class location is irrelevant. The Feds will determine which red flags were ignored by school administrators and other teachers. After all, they were all legally required to report his questionable relationships with some of the kids. Not their job to conduct an investigation to produce definitive evidence of sexual abuse.

Can you name the red flags?

Bullis Mom has been super busy around here, repeating her tirades ad nauseum. Now she's moved onto smearing the Cooper community. I'm thinking Bullis Mom was behind the recent bomb threats. Her insanity knows no bounds.

Bullis Mom here. I love Cooper and am a big fan of Randall. I've posted positive things here. What a strange individual you are!

Oh, that's rich indeed. You "love" Cooper, yet you're here to blame the entire community for what this one man did. Gotcha.

At back to school night German class, his replacement (a wonderful teacher) said she had been teaching elsewhere in FCPS (some sort of non-classroom program) and that she found out with a week's notice she'd be back in the classroom. Lots of parents looking at each kind of saying WTF? She basically said I've been thrown into this with no warning, but I've taught it before so we'll just make it work.

There was never any kind of communication to Cooper parents that I am aware of.

Seems like the German teacher made quickie exit, or else a parent was going to report him to the authorities for messing with his kid at scuba. This seems really awful, PP. I hope you and maybe other parents will share this stuff with the authorities.

....I'm sure the Feds will sort everything out, but it could take awhile given his wide web.

...wide web of fcps folks who want to hide everything that happened. Embezzlement, sex abuse of students. Massive cover-up within the system reaching to the school board.

Please note:

No one has ever accused "the entire community" of anything. It was FCPS who facilitated their teacher criminal's disappearance. He would otherwise being serving his sentence right now.

Students of the school (and community) have been sexually abused.

Did this man have a criminal record? Is there some sort of glaring "red flag" that was present? If not, then Bullis Mom is implying the entire faculty and school community should have somehow telepathically known what was going to happen several years later.

Bullis Mom: since you fancy yourself some sort of arbiter of justice, why is it YOU didn't magically sense all these red flags and report someone who, at the time, hadn't done anything (that we're aware of). I blame you for not bringing this man to the attention of authorities since you clearly knew something was going on. Meanwhile, all the other parents and staff are blameless. The whole thing is your fault. Why didn't YOU speak up?

The only one responsible for what the teacher actually did, is the teacher.

The problem I have with FCPS, is they protected themselves and in doing so, allowed this man to get away - with the community's money no less - to do harm to others.

I am not the PP that you are referring to. You are speaking to someone else. My youngest did not go to Cooper - he decided to go private for seventh. I have no dog in this fight, except to say that I admire and respect Arlene Randall and believe she would not knowingly cover up for a pedophile.

Really? Can you provide evidence of this? No? Oh, right, because it's just conjecture on your part. The desperate musings of a woman who is completely off her rocker. You keep mentioning these many "red flags". Any examples, or just another buzzword you enjoy repeating until it literally means nothing. HEADS WILL ROLL!!!!

In fact, my experience with FCPS is that, in general, they like to put blame on parents.

Evidence of what? Sex abuse? People knew. It should have been investigated long before now. Thank goodness for the nbc reporter who kept digging for the facts. Aren't you grateful for that?

Actually, I'm more interested in what you, hiding behind an anonymous forum, can present as evidence. You keep screaming about the red flags that should have been seen - WHAT RED FLAGS?? You've claimed "people knew". WHAT PEOPLE?? WHAT DID THEY KNOW?? For you to just run your mouth with conjecture and rumors is just as bad as what you're claiming FCPS did. You're just fanning the flames of a potential scandal, hoping against hope to turn it into something, anything!

Yes, of course I think we're all grateful to anyone who actually comes up with facts about this situation and makes them known to the larger community. You? All you're doing is enjoying your anonymous 15 min. of... notoriety? Honestly, someone should just out you and make you own up to whatever "evidence" you keep crowing is out there. Because unless you have something concrete to share, your words are a complete waste of space.

No, I don't think so. She should not have allowed him to quietly transfer to Langley.

From the way you are speaking, it sounds as if you think Rademacher is innocent?

Not at all. Of course, I don't know the situation any more than you do, or anyone else. All we know is the information from the NBC news report; nothing more. Is there actual testimony from the alleged victims? It sounds like a terrible situation. But I'm a lot more inclined to wait and review ALL EVIDENCE before damning anyone and especially damning an entire school and county. Do you have some hard, concrete, factual evidence to share? Because if not, this is all just a bunch of breathless melodrama. I'll save my outrage until ALL the facts are in.
