Get your facts straight - no article ever mentions this man being convicted of child molesting or touching a child’s private parts. If this person was fondling a person’s private parts, then the government should have taken him to trial and presented their case to a jury for them to decide his guilt or innocence. In the meantime, since this person has not been convicted that, I am definitely not going to sit here and run my mouth like you bashing people for crimes for which they weren’t convicted!!

This article does not say this man was convicted of anything having to do with touching a child’s private parts. And before I go around calling someone a pedophile, that person had better actually be convicted of that specific crime and not a crime of misdemeanor battery for simply rubbing some kid’s back.

Is this correct that we are actually jailing people nowadays for rubbing young kids on the back? Wow, this article really shows how people can get carried away with matters involving children. I am definitely the type to want to protect kids, but it seems as if we are going to get rid of all the good teachers as well.
