There’s zero way for you to know they “simply didn’t know.” There could have been complaints they ignored or supressed. They could have created an atmosphere where people were afraid to complain.

Exactly. The school enabled an evil man to prey on children for two years!
Where’s the school’s list of concerns that parents or teachers expressed during those two years?

In the unlikely but not impossible case that both are true, there was no way for parents, teachers, psychics, board members, friends, employers or the IRS to know of his illness. While that will send the finger-pointing virtue signaling keyboard warriors into a frenzy, sometimes there’s not a satisfying answer to very difficult and disturbing situations.

In the affidavit, Carroll says a lot of his (completely disgusting) desires were things he did as a boy in boarding school. If you can stomach it, NCRC and Beauvoir parents should read it. He says many disturbing things, instructing the FBI agent to make it a game.

These desires have been with him for a lifetime. Both schools and kids who have been alone with him need to be completely thoroughly investigated.

While he is also clearly a victim of sick British boarding school culture, it's clear from the affidavit that he thinks it's all sort of normal for young boys to experience. Deeply, profoundly concerning.

He said he’s especially interested in seeing children “cry” during their torture.

Yes, and he also said things like "we used to do this in the bathrooms when I was a boy" and "if you teach him, he'll have so much fun when he gets older with his friends." It's nauseating but I think it's important for parents at the schools to know the extent of his thinking.

I think people are so quick to blame NCRC as a whole for JC when really the only person in charge of JC and his actions is JC. There is no handbook on what to do if your school head turns out to be a sicko. I think they have done a fine job sending out an email immediately to all families. I think where they dropped the ball was proving some websites and articles for parents from American academy of pediatrics on how to talk to children about stuff like this and what to look for etc. but I think we should all give the school some grace here while they work with authorities to figure out next steps.

My heart goes out to his wife and children and the staff of NCRC who probably just want to cry and scream but continue showing up and doing their job putting on a good face to provide the kids with typical school days as planned even with news cameras outside.

why does your heart go out to those with the most responsibility and not to the parents? anyone whose reflexive response is to condescendingly demand to “give grace” is part of the problem. while nobody knows what happened, hard questions need to be asked of the school without ANY presumption of “grace.” especially given that the school’s intuitive immediate response was apparently to try to control the narrative rather than protect kids.

Okay maybe Grace wasn't the best word to use here but what do people truly think the school can do in this exact moment? They informed parents immediately. No one tried to cover anything up. I thought the email from the board pres was fine. What would you want to be don't differently?

Of course my heart goes out to parents former and current JC families. That goes without saying. And the only person that was very close to James that I'd be concerned about turning a blind eye is Judith. I don't think the teachers and other staff spent time with him but again the only one that can be blamed for JC's actions are JC. I find it hard to believe that teachers and other staff turned a blind eye to anything creepy.
