DISCLAIMER:
What I'm about to say is NOT a judgment of anyone on this board whatsoever. Its a personal opinion based on my experience in the field of child welfare!
STATEMENT:
If these were MY kids, I'd definitely pull them from that class, and that school to be honest with you!! My job is first to be a parent to my kids -- that means I protect them at any expense, even if its at the expense of an innocent man! I realize DR may be completely innocent, however, its not a risk that I as a parent would be willing to take!! I wouldn't want him anywhere near my own kids!! If LE has reason to consider him a person of interest, then I feel that as a parent, my first priority would be to ensure my kids had no contact with him!
With that said, I'm shocked that the school would allow him to continue to teach the kids! I can understand their hands are a bit tied until he is cleared or arrested, but I'd have thought they'd have pulled him off to desk duty at the school board or something?! Or even a leave with pay until it is sorted out!? I'm surprised there hasn't been a parental outcry over this yet!! If this were happening in my children's school -- I'd have no hesitation in pulling them right out of his class, and out of the school!! Even if he is innocent completely, its of concern that the LE have reason to name him as a person of interest -- so if THEY are worried about him, why the heck aren't the school officials!!?
