Au contraire. Our Clerk of the Session was FURIOUS with me for wanting to do background checks on kids' program leaders and just flat out refused to do it. Our church not only ran our own kids programs, but we rented out space to a local dance teacher who walked in off the street and asked to rent space.
My argument, that we had an obligation to our congregation to make sure we didn't get sued for letting an abuser into our programs, and to the neighbourhood to ensure that the programs in our building were safe for their kids fell on deaf ears.
Yes, I agree that background checks are important. More important is to not leave an adult alone with a child or children. Any class, or program should have at least two adults.
Your argument that such people in programs are always found out and booted out is wrong.
Also, not the argument I made. Booting out child molesters is the default for organizations that are not about the business of grooming kids for molestations, but I never said that they are "always" found out, nor that when found out, they are "always" booted out.
Point is that no one who is not a liberal LGBT-Q advocate is supporting and advocating for people who act out sexually in front of children or engage children in discussions of sexuality when they are supposed to be teaching them the ten commandments, or the times tables, or how to slide into second base, or tie a bowline, or whatever.
Constantly pausing lessons to talk about the teacher's alternative sexuality - or any sexuality - is something only a small segment of the population thinks is a good idea, but that small segment seems to have a grip on the media.
The Catholic Church and the Boys Scouts both paid out massive laws suits because when abuse was reported, they did NOTHING. When abuse was reported, they just moved the priest to another parish. The same thing happened with schools. These organizations don't want the bad publicity that charges and a trial would bring to their organizations so they protected the abusers, and covered up the abuse.
Yes, anytime you have any organization that brings non-related adults in contact with children, there is the potential for that to happen. When money and power is involved, those organizations too often cover up instead of fixing the problems.
And sadly, less than 1/3 of the abuse which occurs, is reported. The average pedophile assaults more than 100 children before being reported.
That creepy groomer guy was allowed to work with the kids in our congregation and there was nothing I could do to keep him away from our kids, other than to make sure he was never allowed to be alone with a child. When we moved and left the congregation, I told the new head of children's programming to make sure this guy was never allowed to be alone with a child - ever, and she nodded and said she was well aware of his inappropriate behaviour and would make sure the kids were protected.
Good, good.
The mother turned in the rapist.
I'd have to see evidence of that. When did she turn in the rapist? When she told the abortionist in Indiana that her daughter was pregnant?
The reports that the mother is defending the rapist are ALL on FOX News and they are vague at best. The report on FOX News said "After the arrest, a
Telemundo reporter spoke to a woman who identified herself as the girl’s mother." So FOX didn't talk to the mother at all, and this unnamed Telemundo Reporter didn't verify that this woman was really the child's mother.
After the arrest, a
Telemundo reporter spoke to a woman who identified herself as the girl’s mother.
What do you have against Telemundo? Why are they less honest than CNN?
I didn't watch the video. I don't watch right wing click bait.
Ok, well here's a screen shot:
Actually, I decided to delete the screen shot, since it shows a child in a sexual performance. That's against the law in Florida, and many other states. It's called "promoting a sexual performance by a child."
You would be outraged if that performer was a cis woman and men were watching her teach a two year old how to be a stripper, in front of a bunch of straight males. Why is this any different?
Drag performers are NOT teaching children about sex acts. They're just teaching the kids that gays are people too. Nothing more.
You think that because you did not watch the "right wing click bait" video. It showed a drag performer teaching a two year old how to be a stripper.
You are remaining willfully ignorant, which never leads to a sound political philosophy.
