I hope not. Comparing feet to the charging documents is disgusting. |
| I found a pic of her at a work event in 2020 and she appears to be well dressed and casual chatting with coworkers. |
| Its scary as usually we tend to trust other moms. I certainly feel very motherly towards all kids since I had my own and see it as a default setting for all moms. |
Guess appearances can be deceiving and can deflect from the monster within. |
As a former children's ministry volunteer, that is not entirely true. Yes, most churches don't screen volunteers like preschools etc do, but most do have safeguards in place, for example, in our church every person who works with children needs to take a securely abuse awareness course and no adult is allowed to be alone with children, there always need to be 2 or more adults with any children's activity. In addition, married or partnered couples are not allowed to be alone with children. Meaning my husband and I never taught a Sunday school class together and if we did, we would have needed an additional person there. |
Believe me - it was very real!!! I had the most unfortunate experience of seeing her wearing open toed sandals at a formal social event. It really took me back and catching my breath, I thought “what the hell is she thinking???”. She must have been oblivious going out in public looking like that - it was a clear sign of the degradation |
That poster seems to be making a sick and inappropriate joke, esp given the gravity of the topic of this thred. Maybe they migrated over from FetLife, feet are a thing for some. Best to ignore. |
Sick freak making fetish jokes and mocking mental illness on a thread about harm to children. |
Sounds like poster actually saw her and this comment is based on her irl appearance |
Highly doubt it. Seems mocking and very inappropriate given the seriousness of the topic. Maybe those who claim to fraternize with people like Hoppe should be side eyed too. |
I think it varies, my church required fingerprint background checks for Sunday School teachers. Nothing would have red flagged her prior to 2019, and since conviction was vacated on appeal (thanks Eppa!!!), likely nothing would after. There is value in checks, but, it is somewhat limited. |
Took you back to what?!! |
Most churches don't aggressively ensure there are always 2 adults around when they are working with children. As much as Boy Scouts is maligned, when my kids joined their troop was rabid about this rule. Even emails had to include more than one adult. |
Maybe you are wrong and shouldn’t judge people based on their gender alone. |
For over 20 years, our church has fingerprinted/background checked anyone working with children and definitely have the 2 person rule. |
