My understanding is that he hadn't been active at Eaton recently because of the restraining order associated with the old previously unprosecuted case.

He was HSA treasurer while the restraining order was in place. However, to give the school the benefit of the doubt, how could the school possibly know about the restraining order unless the school was notified?

The other HSA board members knew about it (the restraining order), but didn’t know why. I’m actually amazed that there wasn’t more gossip/chatter.

This is exactly the point. The HSA is complicit in this.

How do Eaton parents know about the restraining order? I wish the school informed us. Was this in the Washington Post article?

Untrue, Eaton is the opposite of toxic.
Whoever posted this is clearly not or ever has been part of Eaton. Mahoney was always "Thomas" never "Tom". You don't know what you're talking about.

Its very cliquey at Eaton just like every other ps in the entitled areas of DC. A Handful of privileged parents dominate the communication channels and volunteer for everything so within their bubble they think things are great, I'm sure, as they are popular in their social group and in on the gossip. I found out about this thread from another parent and I didn't know about any of this. I'm on every WhatsApp and email group that's been shared to me, there's like 20 of them, and I never saw any of the chats that someone said were happening. It's actually a little suspicious how defensive some of these comments are, like an admin is pretending to be a parent or maybe no one wants to talk about how they were friends with a pedo

You bring up an important point: “a handful of privileged parents volunteer for everything”. Why is that? It is because the majority of the community thinks their time is too valuable for voluteer work. This is particularly true among Dads. An inordinate number of volunteers are always moms rather than dads and when dads do volunteer, they want important jobs like LSAT chair or HSA president.

OR because according to DCUM, men should not be in any role that involves being around children.

93% of pedophiles are men. Seems like a reasonable call.

And 95-99% of men are NOT pedophiles.

Most Eaton parents other than the few on here who know a lot but only want to be defensive, and apparently the hsa for at least a year, are unaware of this situation in my conversations

There are plenty of people who don’t get dogs because they are afraid of them and we all accept that. Most women have been sexually assaulted in some way in their life. 1 in 6 have been raped or the victim of an attempted rape but we’re supposed to just treat every man like he’s probably nice.

Are restraining orders public information like the other court documents?

I'm an Eaton parent involved with volunteering and I had no idea. TM wasn't around as much but I assumed he had to go into the office more like the rest of us

I’m also a fairly involved Eaton parent and this thread is the only place I’ve heard of the restraining order.

Yes, generally they’re public by default, but not necessarily easy to find/pull up (you can’t just do a google search). Also, it’s possible for a person with a restraining order to file a petition to shield their records from public access. Restraining orders are a civil matter, not a criminal matter, and may not show up on a standard background check.

We need to all be contacting the police and telling them the school let this guy take photos of hundreds of children over the years

We need to ask, where are those photos and were they used for anything besides earning the trust of parents

We need to complain to someone higher at DCPS than Principal Eatman who is now ignoring emails about this

We need to contact Child Protective Services and let them know a child molestor has been allowed to be around our children for the entire last year at least and have them investigate Eaton over how this happened and whether or not everyone's silence is helping to cover up more potential crimes

Last years HSA and LSAT people need to be investigated to find out what people knew and why they allowed Mahoney to keep volunteering if they knew he had a restraining order from ANYONE be it child, adult, student, etc

Eatman, Dance, and the strangely homogenous group of school administrators need to be investigated to find out what they know and to justify their paychecks since they just seem to let the parent volunteers run the show for the most part

Parents need to drop their kids off and LEAVE SCHOOL PROPERTY, no photographing other peoples children unless it's a performance or school sanctioned event, no engaging with other peoples children, and no lurking around pretending to be an administrative official like Mahoney and others

Even though this part of town isn't really the city, we maybe need to learn some basic street smarts, starting with this-

Lesson 1- Someone who's overly personable or friendly, always trying to help or volunteer for free, especially when they're not asked to, usually only has their own agenda in mind one way or another

Lesson 2- A guy that dresses like Peter Pan and talks in an exaggerated high voice all the time and wants to photograph children and be around children all the time, is probably a perv

I can't believe how many people are actually surprised someone who looks and acts like they would do something like this, actually did something like this. The guy was definitely a creep. Not to mention, you kind of have to be a sociopath to work for the World Bank anyway, not someone I'd ever trust my kids with personally, but I digress...

Here are the relevant phone numbers to anyone that is dissatisfied with the school and/or other parents handling of this or to anyone else who might know of times/places where Mahoney may have been able to groom families and abuse children-

Detective J. Alvarenga
MPD Youth Services Division - [phone]
Reference # 25106354

DC Child protective services (CFSA)- [phone]

DCPS Office of Integrity- [phone]

Someone could also please share this information to the Eaton WhatsApp groups, I had to remove myself as it was really just the same 4 or 5 insufferable individuals trying to out funny each other all the time and never really anything important that wasn't shared elsewhere. One of those individuals being Mahoney by the way, who posted constantly and commented on everything, especially on photo day

Why are you asking someone else to share this information on an Eaton WhatsApp Group? It’s like you want someone else to do your dirty work for you. Are you too scared to share the information yourself?

Lesson 2 is funny. Can you elaborate on how Thomas dressed like Peter Pan?

There's a good photo further back in the thread that deserves a second look

Wouldn't we want restraining orders to show up on background checks? Everyone who volunteers in the school building or chaperones class trips needs a clearance every two years. I would like the WaPo reporter to look into this.

The problem seems to be that Thomas passed a background check BEFORE he was caught abusing victim 1 and then never did another background check.

Background checks should be continuous. In other words, if someone passes a background check and then breaks the law, the school should be notified by the authorities. I don’t think this happens though.
