According to reports, he molested a 9-year-old and an 8-year-old child. Molestation can happen any where at any time. Unfortunately, we cannot be around our children 24 hours a day. We hope Mississippians continue to strive to prevent these unfortunate incidents and traumatic incidents of abuse from taking place.

An immigrant from Guatemala may be released in North Carolina within the next year or so due to his immigration status and lack of funds for treatment. When the man was 15 year old, he was convicted of raping his 5 year old cousin who was handicapped. It was truly a heinous crime committed by a teen who needed help. He needed treatment and intervention to try to prevent this from happening again. Since the juvenile justice system incarcerates juveniles in North Carolina until 19, there is a real risk that this criminal juvenile defendant could be released without any appreciable treatment.

Web Cams (Cameras) are quite popular. In fact, most Apple desktop computers and laptops have them built in. More and more, PC computers have built in web cams as well. You can use Web Cams to take photos and to have video chats with friends. Unfortunately, some technology savvy child predators and sex offenders have figured out a way to take over a Web Cam and activate the camera without the knowledge of the person owning or using the computer. The misuse of this technology results in illegal surveillance of children and adults alike. You can read more about this problem and the dangers of creeps lurking out there on the Internet to you and your children at Computer Hacker Spies on Teenage Girl with her own Web Cam.

In Michigan and other States, children are often times abused and neglected in child day care centers. When it comes to discipline, many Michigan child care providers use a fist or a belt rather than a calm voice and reason when dealing with children. Corporal punishment in child day care centers is prohibited pursuant to Rule 400.5107, Discipline, Licensing Rules for Michigan Child Care Centers. Punishment in the form of hitting, spanking, biting, pinching and other physical or corporal punishment type of acts are clearly prohibited under this rule. In addition, a child care center can not take away food as punishment or tie up or restrain a child. There are some exceptions to these general rules when the health and safety of the child or others are at risk. Michigan child care centers have a duty to refrain from these acts. If discipline is necessary at the child care center, the child care workers have a duty to promote self control, self direction, self esteem and cooperation rather than resorting to physical violence and corporal punishment.

Schools in Kansas and throughout the nation have school volunteers that assist teachers and administers with activities, lessons, special events, and field trips. A school generally benefits from the involvement of parents and school volunteers. Unfortunately, many of these volunteers use school grounds and the proximity to children as opportunities to molest, assault and sexually abuse children. Background checks of volunteers are important and can keep those who have been convicted of crimes out of the school. Unfortunately, there are a great number of child predators who have not been caughted, arrested, or convicted. Some just slip through the system. As such, it is also important for schools and concerned parents to be on the look out for child predators who slip into the school system as volunteers. I recently was sent a link by a parent of a child who was a victim of a school volunteer. The website – http://schoolvolunteerbackgroundcheck.blogspot.com – is dedicated to the protection of children in the school system. The site contained trial transcripts, statutory references, and newspaper articles focusing on the problems and crimes of volunteers in the school system.
