" A popular suburban Kansas City elementary school teacher who also helped coach children's soccer teams has been charged with molesting four boys in his second-grade classroom, and police say they are looking for other possible victims."

Maybe they need to start designing schools with glass walls or one-way mirrors or install security cameras in the classrooms.

Doc, do you suppose that Nelson is related to Senator Claire McCasikill? I say this because I know many things she has done that I just don't like.

I wonder if this kind of thing will ever ease up since they have the high profile ones at the colleges. It will get very bad if not.

I taught with a man who turned out to be one of those molesters back in the late 70s and they just fired him and he went to another school where people liked him every bit as much as they did here. However, he was accused of the same thing there and run out of town again. I liked the man enough that I am sure glad it wasn't today when it happened to him.

Not sure what you're saying here, Roy. You wouldn't want a child molester to "get off" just because he was likable, would you?

I'm sick of this stuff. Seriously, there needs to be harsher punishment for child abuse. Of course, everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but the thought of it makes me pissed.

Sad but not as uncommon as we would like. Yet to be discovered pedophiles place themselves into careers and volunteer work that puts them in close contact with children. Teach your children well. You have to be present, not absent when they are in the care of other adults.

The vast majority of children are sexually abused by a member of their own family.

I'll wait for the evidence. An accusation on fox doesn't hold much weight.
