[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this conversation turning on the parents for not realizing that James Carroll was a sexual predator. They aren’t the ones who committed the crimes. I imagine many of the parents are totally freaking out right now. This is a very scary and unsettling situation.  [/quote]

Except for the parents who knew in their gut there was something amiss. But never spoke of it to others. Never raised concerns. [/quote]

What did you expect them to do?  Call the police for him being unfriendly?

The reality is no one had concerns about this man being predatory towards children or engaging in anything illegal.  That’s what makes it so scary.  We should blame the parents.[/quote]

That was my point. People coming here to say they got a bad feeling about him but didn’t do anything but avoid him or walk away are being applauded. But the parents who never had an inkling are getting roasted for not doing anything.

The average person is not going to see it. Especially when interactions are so brief. To paraphrase a favorite movie, no one is going to be taken in by a guy who looks and acts like a pedophile. He’ll be nice. He’ll be attractive. But he’ll be the devil.

Ok fair.  Thank you for clarifying.  And I definitely agree parents should not be roasted for not having any inkling.

I also feel like schools shouldn’t be roasted either.  Like you said, no one suspected. He was generally nice, maybe a bit odd but overall friendly, clean background check, and well liked by the community. He worked at BVR for years then NCRC without any record (as far as we are aware).  I’m not sure how school administrator, board members, etc were supposed to know either.

Everyone wants to point blame at someone else because it is easier to same someone messed up.  It is much more horrifying to think he was just living amongst us, doing this, and there was no way for anyone to know. [/quote]
Please shut up. You don’t know that no one suspected anything. [/quote]What is wrong with you, telling someone to shut up. She’s right, btw. He went undetected and putting blame on people isn’t the answer. [/quote]
You simply don’t know that no one  suspected anything. It’s already been stated here by at least two families that something was “off” about him. That’s called a red flag, my friend. No need for them to pinpoint the perp’s crimes.

Those families wisely chose other options. [/quote]You also seem like you wanted some big warning to parents from people that got a feeling that  a creep was doing illegal and pervy things online. Nobody is going to say that because newsflash, nobody knew. 
      People get weird feelings about people all the time. Most of the time, those people might just be weird, so they can’t warn people because he slipped under the radar and staff and parents just didn’t know. [/quote]
Will school staff now be proactive and get better educated about recognizing red flags? Will the school offer their families and community with opportunities for education and actively encourage all parents to attend? Probably not. Demand it.[/quote]

What red flags did he show? Probably none. This post is ridiculous. [/quote]
