Exactly!!!! Children have parents, the school system has nothing to do with this. Too many people think the school system, their church, neighbors, law enforcement and everyone but the parents should be raising kids. That's a load of bull. This man preyed upon a child and he should be put under the jail for the rest of his natural life because once a predator always a predator.
