Hey Greta! Good to see you bringing up the issue again. I wish parents would just be smart. What you did with your boys is perfect! It’s something that I think a lot pf parents have forgotten to do in the last few years. You donâ€™t have to be an overprotective parent â€“ you just need to be a knowledgeable one and involved in your childâ€™s life.

Let’s not forget the sudden retirement of Walton “Jay” Gaines from Pitcher Jr HIgh that has a history of being with students. His wife of five months filed divorce the same week that it went down also. Go figure. This is another case of “let’s sweep this under the rug.” I seriously wonder about how well St Tammany screens their employees with the DUI’s and the sexual issues of the past fews years since we’ve been here.

I hit submit on accident . . .
anyway, my point is that nothing was done. my friend never peeped a word to authorities or adults but suffered miserably. And if the school didn’t catch on when he married someone 1 month after she graduated . . . well . . . do I even need to elaborate?

Yes, this has been going on forever. In 1990, I was a sophmore in college and my friend was having an affair with the athletic director of our school. She was a great athlete and eventually her mental state went south really bad when he broke it off with her. She was a mess. This same man ended up marrying another incredible athlete from our school about she graduated. He had to be 30 at the time. SICK!

I agree 100%. The thing that’s scariest is that these predators are somehow getting into a position that they’re responsible for the children.
