Ding. Ding. Ding. Seriously, folks, are you REALLY surprised?

My father was an elementary school teacher. He was beloved, he was talented, and he was dedicated. He was in no way a pervert, abusing children, or into child porn. He just liked the innocence and sweetness of most kids, and being able to make a difference in their lives in the classroom.

Ive had some amazing male coaches growing up that got paid peanuts. Lots of men are great with kids and as you know, most molesters are someone close to your family, being a relative or close friend, not a stranger.

FYI, teachers and coaches aren’t exactly “strangers”, but you already know that.

Stick with women, especially when the children are young.

My point is that stats show that if you’re child is going to be harmed, it’s more than likely someone very close to your family, not someone playing music for kids.

DP, but he had access to a LOT of kids in his position, and it would have been easy for him to develop relationships with some of them. I'm not saying he did that, but it's clear he wanted to be around children often.

According to police reports, he didn’t have contact with the children, and also parents are present at his shows. As for wanting to be around kids, it wasn’t someone just playing a guitar at a park. It was his living for many years.

You have NO clue if he was molesting children. You think all he wanted to do was to look, but never touch?? My, you’re stupid. Who knows how long it’ll take for victims to come forward.

Wtf is wrong with you? I’m just stating what the police report says and you start name calling. Have you ever been to a public show where someone is entertaining? It’s not babysitting. The parents don’t drop the kids off and take off. They are with the kids, so it wouldn’t be an ideal place for a sick person to try and harm a kid.

I'm the PP who said a lot of access to kids, but not the one you're replying to.

I don't think you understand how most child sexual abuse occurs. It's rarely a one-off incident where someone pulls a kid away. It's building relationships over time, and that's the kind of thing someone like this guy could do. Talking to kids after a show, etc. It's not far-fetched in the slightest.

I understand that children can be groomed, but if you’ve ever been to a public show at a mall or wherever, the parents are there, no matter how much talking to the kids they do. It’s not like they are pulling kids into a mall bathroom. The parents are all with the children.

My only point was that they we’re men, who loved coaching and we’re great guys. They made nothing, but nobody suspected them of being creeps because they put them around kids to make us better athletes. This world has wonderful men working with children and unfortunately, some men are not good people.
You don’t stop being catholic, probably, because a few bad priests are out there, and I’m just saying that tearing down an industry or gender because of a particular individual is not good either. This world is a scary place and unfortunately, sick people reside in both genders and many industries.



A teacher, coach, pastor, etc is not a stranger.

I absolutely left the Church because of the pedophile priests and cover ups. There are more than a few bad priests.

And teachers/coaches. Just look at the cover-ups by the administrations.

You're naive if you don't think grooming the parents is part of the process. I *know* they're not pulling the kids into a mall bathroom.

Look at all the parents on this thread who are shocked. They probably would have happily had their kids hang out with this guy after shows; they're there, what could happen? Or do you want to ask the parents of Larry Nasser's victims that?

You don’t know if that’s all that happened, so please just shut-up.

Maybe forums aren’t the place for you. You see, we both have a right to state our opinions and your little temper tantrums are silly. Do you teach your kids to react like this to people. I wasn’t rude in the least, so don’t think I’ll listen to you about shutting up. A mall or public show, in my opinion wouldn’t happen to be a place that a performer would harm your kid. The parents are dancing and hanging with the kids.

The best teacher any of us in our elementary school had was also male. married (later divorced), with a kid. Unfortunately he passed away recently. He was one of the most decent men and people around. I know plenty of wonderful men who are great with kids, and who are not pedophiles. There are also pedophiles and predators living among us - you can look up their addresses and places of work in DC; they unfortunately seem like a diverse bunch, but I'd say more of them work in professions that have nothing to do with kids than in those that do.

I heard he was giving the moms a paddy whack, AND THEY LOVED IT.

[Anonymous]

Ugh...we saw him many, many times when my kids were little. During one show, he sang to my daughter directly.

Lets just say that you are not with your particular kid, lots and lots of parents are still there and I just don’t think it’s isolated enough for it to happen at one of those venues. Thank you

I saw him perform in a much smaller less crowded venue than RTC and thought he was creepy. Really weird and too huggy. That was about 5 years ago. Something about him just seemed off and I think that’s the lesson to learn here. If someone seems a little strange always trust your gut.
