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

Of course it is. He sang with a guitar children’s songs. I have never seen him touching any child or even getting to close. So yes, it is surprising .
Eh, a single man who likes to be around kids is not that surprising to me that he's a pedo.

Are you aware that some of these children entertainers easily clear 100 k. It’s not someone deciding to just hang with kids. It’s an actual profession that the really good ones make more than teachers, etc. Every profession has good and bad people in it.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:I feel sick.

Ugh.
I'm the one who said I got creep vibes. I don't know. There's nothing I can specifically point to, it's just, I ask myself, "Who would do this, full-time? I mean, KIDS, 24-7??" It's not like he's a teacher or a professional (doctor, SLP, OT, etc.). It's just very low barrier to entry: "I know, I'll sing songs and play music for kids, and clown around and goof around with them!" It just seems to be a weird thing to do if you are an adult, choosing to spend that much time with children when it is not a professional job. I don't know, I know it sounds weird, but I just look askance at ALL these sort of "ad hoc" performers, you know who they are, I won't name them. Think of the other child performers who are also big goofballs and who have been doing this for years and years and years.
My apologies, then.

And being married is incompatible with being a sex offender or a pedophile??
No. I was answering the previous post that mentioned he was single.
No. The person before me insinuated it was not surprising because he was single. And I said it was surprising because he never seemed creepy to me. Then I just said I thought he was married. Married or single are not reasons to be a pedo.

To explain myself further: it would stand to reason (to me) that a person who had an aberrant attraction to kids would find ways to be around kids a lot, and it seems this would be an easy way to do it.
You have to assume, "Someone here may be wanting to do something creepy to my child," and never let your guard down and do not let anyone sort of try to insinuate (groom) their way into your family. :/ Anonymous wrote:I feel like every week there is a story of a man who works with children abusing them or being into child porn.
