seems a counselor from a local church pled guilty to child por charges. Kids can't even be safe in church anymore...

I've given up. I just assume my son won't be safe anywhere. This is why we don't trust anyone but ourselves with him. If I were to find out that someone did such a thing with my child... I wouldn't hesitate in 'taking care of business' and making sure they never did it to another child again. Life in prison would be worth it.

Yeah, I always figured that kids would be real safe around a priest since they were celibate and everything  ;D I wonder what Baptist church he was a counsellor at, that's the only thing missing from the blurb in the paper. |

Well, I use to work with, and hang out with Scott Robbins back in High School/College. He was always a nice guy, but at the same time, a little strange. It is my understanding that he was very cooperative with authorities. I don't know the entie circumstances, but apparently there was a meeting at the church about some of his activities, hiding cameras, etc. They called an officer in, and the officer asked him to volunteer search of his residence. He agreed.
I believe he probably knew what he was doing was wrong, but couldn't stop it, I'm basing that on how I knew him years ago, although, he certainly could have changed.

strange isn't the word for it TF. But he pled guilty to the charges didn't he? I don't want people like that around my kids. But as parents we have to be vigilant and make sure what our kids are doing and who they are with.

jaykay, I agree with you. As parents it is our job to watch and find out about the people in our kids life. I'm in no way blaming the parents in this case, but everyone needs to learn a lesson from this. Just because they are in church doesn't mean they are safe.

Amen! PM
Check out this story.
LIBERTY, Mo. Mar 31, 2006 (AP)— A youth minister was charged with assault for allegedly knocking a 16-year-old boy down and kicking him in the groin after taking a head shot from the teen in a dodgeball game.

It is a small world. And I agree, I would not let my child near him. But he is going to prison for a long time. That makes three people I knew well back in high school/college that have fallen prey to this type of lifestyle/sin or whatever you want to call it. In Scott's case, I just hope that he really puts his mind to getting the right kind of counseling and control this. I know he'll be a convicted sex offender, but I have hope for him later in life.

that is just the point I have tried to make TF, the prison system in Mississippi offers no rehabilitation, no therapy, no counseling, no nothing. This man is going to be thrown into the system with rapist and murderers with no help and will come out a hardened criminal with all kinds of new tricks. If the judicial system as a whole would work on those measures while incarcerated the reoffense rate would go down considerably.

I know a couple of guys that got busted for child pr0n on their machines, but they didn't produce it. They got busted for possession and/or transport of child pr0n across state lines by downloading it.

Witzo, did they have to register or serve time?
granny2young, I agree in part on what you are saying but since the judical system isn't going to be fixed, I'm glad people like that are being punished. I agree they will just learn new con games, but if that was one of my little boys he watched and taped I'd want him in prison. Let Bubba do the watching.

I don't think prison is the answer. Like it was said, they just learn new tricks and gain new perversions. I must be radical, or something, because I think these people should either get life in prison or the death penalty. Doing something like that to a child is unforgivable. My son will be three at the end of this month. If I /EVER/ found out someone had abused him I'd probably end up being the one in jail or with the death penalty.

Those guys usually come out of prison with a size 13 butthole. Prisoners don't like child molesters, they miss their own kids a lot and worry about them while they are locked up...
One of the guys I know is still in prison, he had to be transferred to protective custody because of harassment from other prisoners. Idiot.
I don't know where the other guy is now, he wasted his life pretty much. He was a professor at Ole Miss and had a wife.
What's really sad is that I know a guy who molested his daughter when she was a toddler. He only spent a year in prison and he's out and violating his parole by crossing state lines. His daughter is in a foster home, his girlfriend can't get her daughter back yet and he's running around like nothing happened.
I believe there are a lot of guys in prison that shouldn't be there or shouldn't have been there for so long. I can't forgive a murderer, rapist, or molester. A car thief shouldn't get a longer sentence than a murderer, for example.
We need a uniform sentencing code. It's not fair that judge "A" doesn't like Prisoner "B's" haircut so he gets twice as much time that judge "C" would hand out.
Crime will always be with us like it has always been with us, the same as poverty and sickness.
