I've made a decision concerning titling thread headings. If the person was employed in their position at the time of their arrest, I will not state that they are a "former" teacher, coach, doctor....whatever. I will only use that description if they have retired or moved on when arrested. The way I look at it is that a teacher was arrested for a heinous crime against children here which has caused him to now be a "former teacher". I will continue to post the headlines used by the media sources within the body of the post.
Back to this story. LE was notified in April about child
on this guy's computers but his school only removed him from direct contact with children and he was just arrested last week????? What's wrong with this story?

Parents impressed with school in child case
"....Police said [Gregory] Christy, who'd taught in the county school system since 1996, had 562 images and 143 videos of suspected child on his computers. He was released from the Jennifer Road Detention Center in Parole the day of his arrest, posting $250,000 bond, court records show.
Although he was charged Wednesday and promptly suspended with pay, school system officials said Christy was immediately reassigned to an administrative position with no contact with children when the allegations came to light in April...."
and
"....In a letter that went home with students Thursday, Principal Gwen Atkinson assured parents that Christy has not worked in school buildings and has not been in a location where students were present since then...."
and
"....Some of the children in the images appeared to be younger than 10 years old, court documents said...."

Sorry, but if I was a parent, I wouldn't be pleased. This man, was by all accounts, a popular gym teacher. I don't care if he's kept outside the school buildings, parents should have been warned about the investigation. It is highly possible and probable that the man encountered school kids around town. They would have no reason, whatsoever, to be cautious. Nor would their parents. Not OK in my book.
