I just really wish I had known something two weeks ago when I hired her to start keeping my child. I am very very very overprotective.... I don't like the public daycare my child is in now, so I researched, researched more, and then researched even more, and couldn't find anything in the state files about this daycare. Why didn't someone report something earlier, so people like me wouldn't get a call last Sunday afternoon, the day before my child is to start, saying there was a 'family emergency' and she couldn't keep my child? I would never have withdrawn my child from the prior daycare! My stomach is sick.... I'm so blessed, however, that my child never entered a dangerous situation, even though it was tough Monday to find childcare!

I know that their was discussion of this ... prior to her getting the daycare licensed. That is what floored us that she obtained a license. There was never any "proof" that anything happened to my child. Authorities were "aware" that my child was in HER care during my experience .... but without any "proof" .... I often wondered the same thing. Then for the past few years I would still see her out/about town EVERY day and wondered if she still kept children. I think with the 3 families I am aware of .... it was young children who really couldn't express what happened and it was "word against word" thing. I can say for me, without going into too many details, there was no "proof" .... just a gut feeling against a "good family" .... I lost some friends over this years ago and they defended her and told me I was the one who was wrong.

This is just terrible! Is it because of the "no proof" that charges have not been filed before now? Would anyone care to elaborate on what "gut feeling" you had to make you have suspicions of this nature? I just think it could help someone else that may experience or be experiencing the same feelings in a daycare they are currently using. I truly sympathize for all of those that used this home daycare and certainly for the possiblity that your loved one could have been a victim. I PRAY that this is not the case for any of you. Just a note, I used a private home daycare for my daughter and I personally "know" this lady, worked with her for years and she is a licensed nurse. She lives on Berry campus and offers a very warm, inviting, loving home daycare. Now, she usually has a waiting list but if anyone is interested, PM me and I'll give you her contact information. My daughter is in 1st grade now and during breaks at school will still utilize her care. She's the BEST! We also used Westminister Christian Academy on Shorter Avenue and I highly recommend them for your day care needs. P.S. Why in the world was this guy released on bond? He ADMITTED to molesting a child.......WHY IS HE ALLOWED TO MINGLE IN THE COMMUNITY?

If there isn't any proof of wrongdoing, then one risks being accused of slander. That's probably why many of the parents couldn't come forward with many of their suspicions. Very sad situation. In the next few days, I'm sure many more parents will be coming forward with their stories. It's likely this young many molested many more children than what is currently reported.

If it is only "suspicion" .... you can't really give law enforcement anything "tangible" to work with. It was a very TOUGH situation ... and many friendships were broken/lost along the way. I am just not comfortable posting the "details" of my "experience" since there is an ongoing investigation .... I have given some insight as to the fact the person I was paying was NOT there at all times. If there is any advice I could give to a parent who has a child in ANY daycare setting, it would be to drop in un-announced at ANY time. I would also ask for name of parents of all children in the daycare setting, and I would contact them and network with them. I know that not everyone has a job that allows them to run over and drop in on the daycare ... but by networking with other parents ... hopefully someone in the network can do this at the least once a week, but hopefully daily. AND, if you see the person you are paying to care for child out and about .... call them out on it ..... and by all means remove them from the situation, unless you "know" any person that is being left "in charge" to care for your child.

Listening to all these opinions makes me thing of living back in the old days during lynch mobs. I understand that people and the press, have the freedom of speech, but what happened to being an American, and being INNOCENT until proven guilty.

The dirt bag ADMITTED it.  The daycare owner has been SEEN outside shopping, etc. when SHE was supposed to be taking care of HER business. If that doesn't prove guilt........

I don't see where anybody here has proclaimed as anybody guilty or innocent... much less hang anybody. This is just an open exchange of information... and many of these folks had direct dealings with this particular daycare. Edited to add a link for endlessgrace.

Maybe he will go a step further and identify any other victims... that way parents can be notified and professional help sought for the kids that were victimized.

This guy used to go to school with me, and he was very weird there near the end. He freaked me out too when I was around him, so I tried to steer clear. He had dropped out of Pepperell last year after being kicked from the Golf team, unsure why he was. But I remember a whole bunch of undisclosed rumors were also swirling around about him at the time. It didn't surprise me when I read it was him, and from all the discussions at school today, it didn't surprise many of my classmates either. It did surprise me and everyone else that they would let a predator like this out on bond. Lets just hope and pray that he's now swiftly brought to justice and put away where he should be.

The things I have stated are things I have witnessed MYSELF. They are not opinionated ... but factual. In my postings, I have referred to the "event" as an "allegation". I will have to agree with others though ... the "accused" has admitted to the "allegations". I have been very careful not to mention any "names" ... 11 ALIVE has released names, and apparently the Floyd County Investigator is very well aware of this release, as he was interviewed.
