A Horrible Story

I read a most horrible story in the news this morning. A man named Ron Gorman was arrested in Cobb County who had sexually assaulted children for years. Most of his crimes were committed in Pennsylvania where he worked as a youth wrestling coach.
Since 2012 he worked as a youth wrestling coach at Pope high school until recently going to work at Life University. The university said they had received no complaints about Gorman. A few people in Cobb had complained to officials about inappropriate online messages being sent to their children and nothing was done at that time.
Gorman faces 261 child sex charges. He has assaulted children as young as ten years old. Can you imagine this man assaulting so many innocent children and nobody noticed. It makes you wonder about children being mistreated and never telling their parents, or if they do parents don't press charges. Parents should be very careful to know what is going on with their children.

I think that fear is the main culprit for both the kids and parents. If he was well-thought of, the kids wouldn't know of other complaints if there ever were any and they'd think no one would believed them. Also, this pervert may have told them not to say anything or...

It is amazing how many people are guilty of such behavior and not charged until so many years later. Was no one listening to the children?

These 'people' are the embodiment of evil. In this world I don't know what motivates then. Because of them we have to believe that 'Evil' is a tangible reality. If we hurt them, can we really make up for the harm done? That's why my only consolation is 'Karma'...the inexorable Law that balances things. later, some where you'll hear of a child born with a hole in the heart...or the genitals missing. Again, unfortunate.

yes but often the kid is scared by the pervert into thinking some one they love will be harmed. thats why it is important to let your kids know also that you can and will protect them and the people they love from any harm from anyone. to bad we don't have worse laws for this type of pervert that harms children

That is awful. What is wrong with some men? I agree, parents need to be fully aware of what is going on with their children.

I think many children are intimidated to not tell their parents. I'm sure as time goes on more details will come out.

An investigation went on here about children held in juvenile homes.some years ago. It was terrible how they were abused and had no one to complain to. They finally closed that facility down. but there are hundreds of other such places.
