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

My father was an elementary school teacher. He was beloved, he was talented, and he was dedicated. He was in no way a pervert, abusing children, or into child porn. He just liked the innocence and sweetness of most kids, and being able to make a difference in their lives in the classroom.

Ive had some amazing male coaches growing up that got paid peanuts. Lots of men are great with kids and as you know, most molesters are someone close to your family, being a relative or close friend, not a stranger.

FYI, teachers and coaches aren’t exactly “strangers”, but you already know that.

Stick with women, especially when the children are young.

My point is that stats show that if you’re child is going to be harmed, it’s more than likely someone very close to your family, not someone playing music for kids.

DP, but he had access to a LOT of kids in his position, and it would have been easy for him to develop relationships with some of them. I'm not saying he did that, but it's clear he wanted to be around children often.

According to police reports, he didn’t have contact with the children, and also parents are present at his shows. As for wanting to be around kids, it wasn’t someone just playing a guitar at a park. It was his living for many years.

You have NO clue if he was molesting children. You think all he wanted to do was to look, but never touch?? My, you’re stupid. Who knows how long it’ll take for victims to come forward.

Wtf is wrong with you? I’m just stating what the police report says and you start name calling. Have you ever been to a public show where someone is entertaining? It’s not babysitting. The parents don’t drop the kids off and take off. They are with the kids, so it wouldn’t be an ideal place for a sick person to try and harm a kid.

We are probably learning about it more now, though. While the possibility of abuse absolutely scares me, I’m grateful that people are talking about it now more than ever.

It definitely is more frequent, IMO. It’s like a plague now.

Some have creepy inclinations towards kids, others have creepy inclinations towards teens. Some like other males, some like females. Some actually engage with victims. Others are more indirect with their sickness. But mostly, some are just better at hiding it than others. It's a gross world we live in.

Exactly. Now it’s not just every week, but several per week of school sex abusers. Ok, this “entertainer” wasn’t a school employee, but he probably did “shows” at schools...

My only point was that they we’re men, who loved coaching and we’re great guys. They made nothing, but nobody suspected them of being creeps because they put them around kids to make us better athletes. This world has wonderful men working with children and unfortunately, some men are not good people.
You don’t stop being catholic, probably, because a few bad priests are out there, and I’m just saying that tearing down an industry or gender because of a particular individual is not good either. This world is a scary place and unfortunately, sick people reside in both genders and many industries.



A teacher, coach, pastor, etc is not a stranger.
