Maybe now that we are explaining Erin’s Law to our kids, it’s working. Can’t all be put on schools, parenting and explanations of keeping ourselves safe and privacy respected starts at home or should. Keep the communication open so others can finally be taken off the streets if they are guilty of the crime.
Karma! Keep talking to your kids or listening.
Time to home school.
Disgusting. I know a mother in Baltimore I would like him to meet.
I just give up at this point.
Yet another reason why we home school. Ridiculous.
Glad to see this! He is a complete scum bag – He rented space from a local charity for his church a few years ago and wrote a bunch of checks that bounced owing more than $500. Hopefully justice is served
Another one bites the dust…. why was this the first thing that came to mind…and now the song is stuck in my head.
As I said before, when the DA hands out plea deals and probation like candy instead of convicting and giving maximum punishment, there is nothing to deter the crime.
What the heck is going on in dekalb / sycamore lately.
Another District 428 happening?
Mr. A is looking for some time off his sentence. Good job Dekalb PD!

Am I the only one who thinks it’s odd that he’s a child mentor and they meet for services at a hotel? The combo should have been a red flag from get go in my opinion!
