Very wrong. Cleaver; but wrong.
A Durham Regional Police officer entered a guilty plea to assaulting children known to him. He then spent the summer as a coach at a kid's hockey camp.
I worked with a long time social worker who observed that, no surprise, if you want to find alot of pedos just hang around kids' programs....
I really hope that just anecdotal and not factual...
From the last 16 years of my career I worked in a treatment jail, I can assure you that is factual.I really hope that just anecdotal and not factual...

Please don't think this applies to all who run kids programs, but just a reason to watch closely, and not use them as a place to dump children for a couple hours.
I didn’t even need to open this to know it was going to be you updating about Helen Grus.
Good finding; she’s a disgrace. I share your pessimism about sanctions.
It sounds like she only recognizes a higher authority and merely tolerates earthly concerns.Two year demotion. And a refusal to accept culpability for her actions.

Does the UK judicial system use something similar to a McNeil?That’s a doozy of a McNeil in terms of credibility.
No idea. Sorry, I was relying to @dapaterson and the Grus case. Looks like @daftandbarmy must have hit post on a new reply a few seconds before I did.Does the UK judicial system use something similar to a McNeil?
It's not like a detective would ever be called into court to testify, right?No idea. Sorry, I was relying to @dapaterson and the Grus case. Looks like @daftandbarmy must have hit post on a new reply a few seconds before I did.
