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.

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.

If there really was a restraining order, then Thomas’s wife had to have known about Thomas. It makes what she did look like she was letting this criminal activity happen. Law enforcement should not have let her leave the country.

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.

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

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 - (202) 603-6876
Reference # 25106354

DC Child protective services (CFSA)- (202) 442-6100

DCPS Office of Integrity- (202) 939-4913

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

You should have used your very intelligent and perceptive observations of Mahony to alert the community. This may have prevented further sexual abuse of young children. Instead, you condemn a whole community for not knowing what you suspected.

I saw that picture when this first came out and, as an outsider, have been kind of befuddled by the comments aboit how you would never tell by looking at him. He must be super charming in person because he looks like a total weirdo creeper in that mugshot like photo.

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