Could you trust this man with your kids?
 

Parents of students attending a New York Catholic school are angry that a former police officer
who served more than a decade in jail for killing a family of four in a drunken driving incident is now working at the school.

According to the paper, the pastor of St. Clare’s and the school’s principal wrote a letter to parents announcing the hiring of Gray.

It continues, "Since the legal system is satisfied with Mr. Gray’s return to work,
we believe he should be given the opportunity to do so, since ours is a faith of forgiveness and mercy."

The hiring didn’t sit well with a number of parents, who called the Advance to vent
their concerns about their children’s safety. They wouldn’t give their names.


“Who’s to say he’s not going to act out?” said one parent. “We don’t know what he’s capable of doing. ...
We can be merciful toward him, but I do believe that it’s a bad move to put him around children, especially small children.”

Hmmmmm, I'm not sure. I think that they don't tell the whole story in the paper. Such as, what was he dealing with? Was he depressed when he went on this spree? Considering he was a cop, there's a good chance I think.

I think one would have to look at circumstances first, before judging. :D

Yup. Brings up another good point, which is that those kids are around
more heinous sinners every day, and the sins more closely connected
with children. I know of a 44 year old Cath school teacher, very sweet
lady, way oversexed, just divorced, dating a 22 year old.

God does not need your help to do His job,
and HE forgave the guy 10 years ago.
What, you're afraid he's gonna run over
your kids?

What is God's job, in this context?

I don't think his drunken driving incident has anything to do with his ability to work in the vicinity of children.

If he is still drinking, that's another story.

Re: Could you trust this man with your kids?
 

As long as he is not drinking or drunk on the job.

Re: Could you trust this man with your kids?
 

He is hired as a janitor.

I don't see a problem as long as the school closely monitors him.

Bingo! No need for me to post as the Brat has hit the nail on the head once again.

Monitors him in case what?

Drunk sweeping???
