Watch Daniel Reyes closely.
Keep watching.
Keep watching.
There! Did you miss it?
Daniel Reyes made a 9-year-old girl’s innocence disappear.
22-year-old Daniel Reyes, an award winning magician and mime who has been practicing magic since he was 11, wandered into Creekside Elementary School on the 16th of January, 2008, under the pretext of talking to one of his former teachers.
Because Daniel was a regular at the school, performing his magic act to crowds of delighted children at the end of each school year, nobody batted an eye when he walked into a classroom at 11:20 in the morning and asked for volunteers to serve as his assistants for a magic show.
Four girls answered the call. Two of the girls were immediately disqualified by Daniel Reyes, for whatever reason. The other two girls were taken out into the hallway to chat with Daniel Reyes for a while, until he made his final decision, sent one girl back into the classroom and wandered off with the other.
Daniel Reyes escorted the nine-year-old off-campus without anyone noticing or raising an alarm. Whether he used magic to kidnap the girl or if the incident was just the result of careless school staff, we may never know.
All we do know is that Daniel Reyes, who was attending college in Las Vegas (where he had a regular show), drove this girl back to his parent’s house, where he had a video camera set up.
While the girl was blindfolded, Daniel Reyes told her to perform a sexual act with him, which she refused to do. Daniel Reyes then asked the girl to rub his hands and pose for some pictures, which she did.
If that is all Daniel Reyes did to her, then she and her parents should be considered lucky. It could have been much, much worse.
An hour after he took the girl off-campus, Daniel Reyes returned her, uninjured.
The girl told a teacher what happened, the teacher told the school administration, and at 1:45 in the afternoon, the police were called.
Daniel Reyes was arrested later that day and hit with a charge of aggravated kidnapping. Police executed a search warrant on the property Daniel Reyes took the girl to and seized some “interesting” items.
Steve Polzer, Creekside Elementary’s principal, wrote this letter to area parents, possibly after being inundated with phone calls from parents who were questioning exactly why a 22-year-old man was able to walk onto a supposedly secure campus and walk off, unquestioned, with one of the students:
I can appreciate how you must feel after seeing media reports concerning this incident. We know your child’ safety is your number one priority. While student confidentiality and the on-going investigation prevent me from providing you with all the details, please be assured that we are reviewing all policies and procedures to prevent any future incident. Creekside Elementary’s teachers and staff are committed to providing the best education possible in a safe learning environment.
If you’ll watch closely, you’ll see a variety of media on the Internet which featured Daniel Reyes disappear as well. Videos, MySpace profiles and so on are dropping off the net rather quickly.
Daniel Reyes’ own website has apparently gone dark, but unfortunately for him, websites are cached and what has disappeared from your eyes here can be viewed there.
Hopefully the authorities have caught this particular pedophile before he could do much damage, and hopefully this is the first time Daniel Reyes has done anything like this. One thing is assured: Daniel Reyes’ career prospects have vanished.

Here’s hoping he has a captive audience for the next sixty years

Even though he did not do anything and it sounds like he was quite afriad because he back down from his initial request, he shuld be treated as a level 3 - be required to register.
In a few years he may become someone’s neighbor and with his magic acts gain the admiration of te nearby children and possibly the trust of their parents. At some point someone may ask him to “watch the kids and the house for a while”. At this point the child will be offered to him!
Also he’s not violent yet, nor was he so afraid that he felt the need to kill his victim as to cover up his tracks.
This guy is the perfect candidate for “help”. What he did was relatively minor compared to what he could do, esp if he was more unbalanced. fortuantely he had more sense than fear or rage, but the next time may be different, so let’s nip this one before there is another abused child and another inmate we have to support!

The school ought to be on there too. what kind of school jsut lets someone take a child like that?!

Good grief.

I have to send pedophiles to Hell. It makes he happy. Do you sometimes wonder when you send child molesters to hell that some of the people there start trying to get out? They’re like, hey– no one told me I had to stand by this POS–I want out of here! Funny>
[Reply]
Kdogg - that really made me laugh out loud.
Fred, I agree with you on this one. This sounds like a guy that was probably molested at a young age by some authority figure, maybe even an older magician. Maybe this was his first go round and that’s why it ended in a “failure” for him. There might be some help for this guy. That being said, I don’t think he should be allowed around children EVER again. It’s funny, ever since reading sites like this and just opening my eyes in general, you look at clowns and magicians and miniature train operators in a whole different light.
[Reply]
Um, he might not be violent YET.
Don’t EVEN bring up the subject of mimes.
Mimes are just as freaky/nasty as clowns.
Parents– is it too hard to beat it into your head that you need to keep your children safe from mimes, clowns, and every other creepy pedo?
People gravitate towards jobs that involve children for 3 reasons-
1- for the money alone.
2- Because you really love children.
3- Because you love children in a sick way that is not acceptable for 99% of people who are not dead already.
A million dollars says he will plead ‘Not Guilty’.

that school needs a serious slap down. How could they just let him wander off with a girl like that? Wasn’t anyone there paying any kind of attention? Just pathetic.
[Reply]
lucky he didn’t do anything now, but he also needs to be prevented from ever trying again.
[Reply]
If I was a parent and my child went to that school I would be pretty bitchy and throw down with some administration representatives and wonder how the hell that child was able just to walk off campus with this guy and wonder if it’s happened before.
I’m glad he didn’t force anything after the girl said no to his initial request and I’m glad she knew to say something to the teacher when she got back.
[Reply]
Wow…
I am amazed at what I am reading… Including what the author of this article wrote!
Does anyone REALLY know the facts about this case?
Or are you all running around yelling “the sky is falling, the sky is falling” because someone else said it might be…
Please, do not get me wrong here - I am with everyone else feeling there is no excuse for a Pedophile in our communities…
I am not a “bleeding heart” that feels such people should be taken care of comfortably… Pedophiles deserve to be locked up.
Period.
There is also no room for “villagers in an uproar with pitchforks and torches” chasing after a man who has been “Convicted” by the public!
Am I to understand that this guy has been found GUILTY by a judge and jury? Or has he just been ACCUSED of this crime and it has not gone to trial yet?
(Check the facts - the latter is true…)
Is this magician so stupid as to walk in the front door of the school, SIGN IN, and be escorted to a former teachers room, OPENLY ask for volunteers, and then walk out the door with one of the students?
In an elementary school HE ATTENDED HIMSELF AS A CHILD and KNEW ALL THE TEACHERS & THEY KNEW HIM?
On top of the fact that he visited the school each year and gave a Free Magic Show at that school?
Does that make any kind of “common sense” to anyone?
I know people have done stupid things in the past (like publish judgmental articles such as this one…)
But we have to look at BOTH SIDES of an issue before passing judgment on fellow human beings…
No matter how thin a sheet of paper is - there is ALWAYS two sides to it. Same goes for convicting someone of a crime they have been accused of by a 9 year old girl…
Did anyone ever stop to think that maybe (JUST MAYBE) the little girl played hooky and invented such a story to cover her own tracks?
(could happen…)
Maybe she saw an opportunity to “skip school” - then after about an hour, realized what she had done…
Decided to return back to class after the hour (about the right amount of time to skip school, then realize that maybe you have done something you shouldn’t have), walk back into the class room, un touched, and come up with a story like this to cover her own mistakes as a 9 year old 4th grader might do?
I AMNOT SAYING THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED - I am just saying this is another possibility!
Folks, the last I checked, we still live in AMERICA - were our constitution says we are INNOCENT until proven guilty…
NOT the other way around!
I agree fully with Fred - IF this guy did it (and only a judge and jury will tell after reviewing the facts & evidence) he needs help. He also needs to go away for some time - but he needs HELP more than anything else. IF this guy did it, it might be a “Cry for help”…
Lets be open-minded enough to THINK before we open our mouths, OK? (and lets teach our children the same thing…)
As for “Glorybugs” response (by the way, is that a CLOWN NAME?)
OMG, are you THAT narrow minded and prejudice?
To think ALL “Mimes” and “Children’s Entertainers” are “Freaky/Nasty creepy Pedo’s”???????
You must have been a tortured child yourself growing up to be an adult and think such thoughts…
Quit watching those “horror flicks” and thinking they are factual news reports… They are for entertainment purposes only - to scare the @#*&! out of you!
There are LOTS of great Children’s Entertainers out there and to condemn them all because of an ACCUSATION from a 9 year old is just plain idiotic on your part…
You are right about using caution with our children around ANYONE in this world - but to “blanket” put down ALL children’s Entertainers is just wrong… I certainly hope you do not teach your children such prejudices…

Or this pedo could just be remarkably stupid and that’s why he committed the crime so openly surrounded by people who could identify him.

why’d you do it mr magic man, why did you do itttt!?!?!?1 why why why!
[Reply]
Steve- WOW. Sounds like someone’s a little defensive, and I don’t think I want to ask why.
Yes, I do actually teach my children to be suspicious of adults as well as other children- because I don’t want them dead or molested.
There is a reason they use ‘clowns’ in a lot of ‘horror’ movies. It’s because there are a lot of people who find them scary, adults or otherwise. I can’t claim responsibility for that reaction.
Do I tell my children to hate clowns? No. But they aren’t fond of them on their own. I DO tell my children that they are to trust their own judgement if they find anyone, adult or otherwise, to be scary to them. They should not be taught to kill their inner insticts. They are allowed to choose to not be around them if it creeps them out… as well as non-clowns and non-performers. Telling children NOT to be wary when something doesn’t feel right is exactly what molestors count on.
They have also been told that they are absolutely NOT to get in a car or go anywhere, even in school, with anyone I have not said they could. That if there is any question about it, to ask for our ’safe’ word, and if the school or whoever else doesn’t like it, to cause a stink and call me before leaving school or anywhere else with anyone. Does this scare them? No. It makes them feel safe that we’ve made a plan together.
What a clever girl, to decide to ditch (after being allowed out of class to join Mr. Magic)… and then make up a big story about how he drove her to a house. Clever that she thought of details like being blindfolded, which magicians never do to people, and she supposedly refused to do a sex act she was asked to. Wouldn’t a better story be that he forced her to?
I’m all for people who really do love entertaining children, but I doubt most pedos are right now working in old-folks homes. See…. there’s not enough children there. Kind of ruins the pedo-ness of it all.
Research has proven that sex-offenders of any type tend to gravitate towards circumstances that make it more possible to have contact with their victim of choice. They also set up situations of trust. No, that kiddie train conductor could NEVER touch kids. He LIKES kids! DUH. Every detail in your post sounds exactly like the common sense a pedo would use in getting both children and adults to not question their motives. Getting everyone to feel guilty about questioning their motives. Anyone who was not a pedo would understand all of this, and would not be offended by parents keeping their children safe.
I’m not sure why you feel so compelled to defend situations that are set up to exploit children, but in your ‘ditch’ scenario you fail to address one key thing. If said magician took 4 children out of class, returned 2 as not being ‘his type’ or whatever, and then choosing the one girl…. at what point did she decide to ditch and blame it on Mr. Magician, and what exactly was Mr. Magician doing when he was supposed to (according to what he’d told the teacher) have been choosing an assistant? Standing in the hallway waiting for the ditcher to come back? Please.
I love these kinds of stories for only one reason… because I love to see it when ALL the details are revealed in a trial, the POS gets convicted, and all the excuses certain people make about how nobody should jump to the logical conclusion are shown to be crap. Funny thing is, none of those people ever come back to say they were sorry they were wrong. That’s usually when they start snivelling that the jury was stacked, or some magical evidence will show up ‘later’ (after the sentencing?), even though it never does.
Clowns? Nah, no like. Mimes? Wanna punch. Perv kiddie train operators? Can’t wait to hear their sorry asses whistling in jail. ‘All-aboard!’ Priceless. Oh, wait. That’s stereotyping. Everybody’s nice to pedos in prison, right? My bad.

“Glorybug the Clown”- WOW. Sounds like someone’s a little defensive, and I don’t think I want to ask why.
Lol
My dear, I look forward to your sorry ass apology when this does all come out in the end.
I want to COMPLIMENT YOU for your thoughts on how to train your children to follow their gut instinct - that’s WONDERFUL! (really) I wish more parents would - I have taught both of my children that and they seem just fine.
I also want to COMPLIMENT YOU for instilling a “safe” word - VERY GOOD! Again, I wish more parents did the same thing! We would probably have a lot less “problems” with creeps taking children…
I would also like to say SHAME ON YOU for stereo-typing ANYONE who works around children as “pedos”…
Now you have added “Kiddie Train Drivers” to your sorry list of stereo-typing… Let me ask you :
Do you have anything against Black people?
(Cause you know they ALL Steal…)
Mexicans?
(Cause you know they are “illegals”)
East Indians?
(Cause you know they are all out to get our materialistic things & jobs - like our Seven Eleven Stores and cab driving jobs…)
Jeezus….
Do YOUR children attend a public school?
I am assuming not - I bet you “home school the little darlings - due to your “The-Sky-Is-Falling, The-Sky-Is-Falling” attitude about this subject - I bet you think TEACHERS are “pedos” too!
(I am ASSUMING you were “touched” as a child yourself - maybe by an uncle or someone in your family? This may be the root of your deep seeded hate for anyone working with children, huh? Is this why you yourself are a clown, “Glorybug”?)
Sad.
I merely mentioned a possible “other story” to this case. As a jury member - you would suck. You obviously do NOT have “an open mind” to see ALL SIDES OF THE STORY before passing judgment.
PLEASE re-read what I wrote - I DO feel that if this guy did this - he should go away for a while and get some help.
IF HE DIDN’T DO IT, look at what people like YOU, “Glorybug” have done to this guy’s life!?!
Of course, you probably would not feel a bit bad about it and have some sorry ass excuse like… (please, allow me to quote you…)
“start sniveling that the jury was stacked, or some magical evidence will show up ‘later’ (after the sentencing?), even though it never does.”
Lady (I am assuming you are a lady - then again, maybe you are some PEDO guy using a feminine “clown name” to hide behind…)
I can’t wait to hear your apology when this case breaks.
In fact…
Let me make you an offer.
Let’s you and I watch this case.
Whichever way it goes, the “loser” must apologize completely to the person who was correct. In fact, they must, THEMSELVES, proclaim to be a “PERSON YOU’LL SEE IN HELL!”
Fair enough?
Or can you find some deep reason why this would be a bad thing?
(my bad.)
(See.. I can be sarcastic, too!)

PS: The “challenge” goes for the Idiot who wrote this lame excuse for an artical, too…
Didnt they teach you in “writing school” not to put your own “spin” on news articals?
There is something to be said about not “getting the villagers up in arms over nothing…”
Then again, this might have been just your opinion - Wouldn’t it be something if GLORYBUG was the author of this artical?
Shesh.
Admin - Yeah “writing school” also taught me to spell “article” - although I’m impressed that you capitalized “idiot” when referring to me. Makes me feel all warm and cozy.
[Reply]
Yes, it really would be something if GloryBug was the author of this article. It would mean I had a pretty cool website. Admin will have to just ignore references to me and take it as a compliment that their writing inspires people to such extremes.
That said, I’m also sorry to disappoint you- my children go to a public school. Oh, wait, they’re both in the GATE program. But wait, the school they attend is integrated with developmentally disabled and physically disabled children, so I guess we aren’t as white-bread and priveleged as you’d like.
I wish you’d have read my post closer, or some of my other posts. I have never said that all people who work or have contact with children are pedos. I have said that it is a fact that pedos try to get positions where there is contact with children. It would make no sense for pedos to hang out in nursing homes, y’know? Not too many children there.
Are there SOs in every profession? Probably. But the age/gender of the people they might contact would be the deciding factor for what kind of work each SO chooses. Not my opinion—FACT.
Kiddie train operators? You obviously have not read all the articles on this site. I forgot to mention clergy of all kinds, too…my bad.
I am anti pedo and anti SO and anti child abusers of any kind. This is not comparable to being racist, as you imply. There are people of all different makes and models that I like/dislike equally…. but I do not like pedos/SOs/child abusers/murderers. NONE. I’m just not an ‘open’ enough kind of a person to like any of them.
I hope when there is an update to this story, someone will remind me that I believed the alleged victim’s story. If it turns out the alleged perp is deemed innocent in court, I will certainly apologize. But by then, some other person in a position of trust, who chose a profession just so they could have access to their molestation victim of choice will have stepped in to fill the void.

Glorybug;
FINALLY you are starting to make a LITTLE sense….
(Or my writings are making you stop and think about what the hell you are writing…)
I am glad to hear you are not blanketing the world with your hate. It is sad that you have such strong feelings as to blindly accuse someone of something before finding out all the facts…
Yes, yes, you read the “reports” the media has to offer. Much like Iraq, they love to report the “Doom & Gloom” aspects of the war and not some of the nice things our guys and gals over there are doing for us.
“Nice stories” don’t sell…
“Doom & gloom” does… FACT!
…and just seems to feed people like yourself…
Now please, don’t get me wrong.
I completely agree with what you are saying!
I do not have any tolerance for ANYONE who destroys another human beings life. Physically or mentally.
That’s were you came in - on the “mental” side of things…
By condemning that guy before the facts were in, just spits of hatred coming from you… It really puzzles me. Ever stop to think what all of this has done to this guy’s family members and their lives as well as his own?
Remember the guy EVERYONE (including the media) thought set off the pipe bombs at the Atlanta Olympics? Turned out he was INNOCENT - but the small “whoops, “my bad” apology they printed on page 16 was a little to little and a little to late..
Did you know the man died penniless and broke thanks to that “accusation”? Thanks to people like yourself who “judged” before all the facts were in, he lost his job, his girlfriend, his life… And all because some idiots ran around yelling and pointing fingers and saying “HE DID IT - HE DID IT!”
Please, teach your children that police officers are HUMAN too. They make mistakes - sometimes at the cost of another human being’s life…
Again, I agree that ANYONE who harms a child in ANY profession should be put away. Period.
And yes, I am sure there are many who tend to “gravitate” towards areas where they can have access to our children… There are also “blocks” installed in many such professions to stop someone who is after our children…
Sadly, sometimes, they slip through the cracks…
It’s the human factor… FACT!
There is still no need to throw a blanket “They ALL are” onto any given profession (I am sure my priest who is in his 80’s would be heart broken to hear his 60 plus years of devotion was all a “joke” to you…)
“my bad.”
(You see, I am trying to communicate with you on your level…)
God forbid, anyone “mistakes” something you do in your profession (again, I am just assuming you are a clown yourself “Glorybug”, on the defensive…) as being a bit “Perverted”…
…but then again, you DO “Walk on Water” , now don’t you dear?
“My bad.”
(shesh…)
I do look forward to the outcome of this matter.
I find it funny that you wish someone to “remind you” of this matter so you will know the outcome… Since you seemed so POSITIVE that he did it, now you are ready to move on and spew more hatred towards another subject matter…
…kinda like “wiping and disposing of used toilet paper”…
Trust me, I WILL remind you…

While I agree that the school’s policies need to be reviewed, everyone needs to get off of the school administration’s back. I don’t care how many policies are put in place, someone, somehow, will always find a way around it. Nothing, no matter how secure, is ever 100% fail safe.

Steve(Daniel you little worm, is that you?), what was Daniel doing in the girl’s class? Why did he call four girls to the front and take two out to the hall? Oh yeah, and why do they have you, I mean Daniel, on videotape exiting the school through a side door with the little girl during class.
[Reply]
Hey Steve(Daniel)- You sorry pos-This little girl is a straight a student, a christian, and a wonderful example of what little girls should be. She wouldn’t skip school to save her last dying breath. The last time I checked this pos got indicted 2 days ago by the grand jury. That would mean there was enough evidence to make the charges stick! Do you still want to defend him and throw this beautiful little girl under the bus? Wow !!!! It’s funny how you would defend a would be child molester kidnapper instead of an innocent little girl! You got issues!! You will probally burn in hell foryour words!
[Reply]
Steve- Wow. I must have missed your humourous reply to my comments.
You end your babble-fest by saying that you will ‘remind’ me when Daniel is proven innocent in a court of law. Funny that you didn’t bother to ‘remind’ me that as of Mar 18, he was indicted for the crimes he was accused of. I’m going to guess you won’t be ‘reminding’ me of anything when he’s proven guilty, either.
I do feel I need to set some things straight in your comments—–
“It is sad that you have such strong feelings as to blindly accuse someone of something before finding out all the facts… ”
I do not personally know Mr. Pedo-magician. I did not ‘blindly’ accuse him of anything. People who KNOW him accused him, and obviously there was enough proof to indict him. I simply stated my opinions about him putting himself in a position to be indicted to begin with.
“Yes, yes, you read the “reports” the media has to offer. Much like Iraq, they love to report the “Doom & Gloom” aspects of the war and not some of the nice things our guys and gals over there are doing for us.
“Nice stories” don’t sell…”
I was not just reading ‘media’ gossip. I was reading accusations made by LE. LE has not come forward and stated that the media fabricated their beliefs and actions, so that means you would have me believe that not only is the media in a conspiracy against Mr. Pedo-magician, but LE for some reason has it in for him, too. Hardly believeable.
Anyone who wants to know what is really going on with Iraq, and why we are there can use their index fingers and the search engine Google to get more info. Unless they aren’t interested in knowing the whole story. Googling ‘Daniel Reyes, child-molesting-magician’ does not pull up any info other than what the LE and school officials claimed and still stand by.
“Doom and Gloom”? By the media? The media has really whitewashed the little Iraq problem. You have to actively SEARCH for info other than the rosy reporting in the daily newspapers. If you think the general media is reporting negatively on Iraq, then I feel sorry for you. The truth is that they are actively NOT reporting things that would make the US and our gov’t look bad.
What that has to do with a pedo-magician, I have no idea. He is hardly on the same level of importance as a war is.
“I do not have any tolerance for ANYONE who destroys another human beings life. Physically or mentally.”
Unless, of course, you can erect some flimsy defense of said child-abusers, such as that the media has any sort of real reason to lie in their reports about what he was indicted for.
“Ever stop to think what all of this has done to this guy’s family members and their lives as well as his own?”
Have you ever stopped to think of what you defending a pedo POS makes other victims of child-molestors feel? Have you ever stopped to think of what his young victim felt then, now, or in the future because of what he allegedly did? Did the POS ever stop to think of how his actions would affect the child, their family, his own family? This is no different than the unimaginable defending people are doing of Michael Gagnon, who mowed down an entire family because of his drunk driving and taste for cheap mexican fast food. They want everyone to feel sorry for his family, too. But that’s not our responsibility. It’s the perps responsibility to take the blame for hurting the victims, their families, and the perps families. Us not liking their crimes has nothing to do with it.
“Remember the guy EVERYONE (including the media) thought set off the pipe bombs at the Atlanta Olympics? Turned out he was INNOCENT - but the small “whoops, “my bad” apology they printed on page 16 was a little to little and a little to late..”
You don’t seem to understand law. The public did not accuse this guy, or your friend the pedo-magician. LE has accused them. The public is allowed to have an opinion about whoever commits these crimes.
“Did you know the man died penniless and broke thanks to that “accusation”? Thanks to people like yourself who “judged” before all the facts were in, he lost his job, his girlfriend, his life… And all because some idiots ran around yelling and pointing fingers and saying “HE DID IT - HE DID IT!” ”
You are mistaken. I am not responsible for LE arresting anyone involved with bombing or with magician molestors. No matter what my judgement of anyone is, it is not important, unless I am on a jury charged with legally judging someone. I really wish my judging carried as much weight as you imply. Because then the POS step-father asshole that I had to call the sheriffs on again today for being abusive towards his stepson would not just be behind bars, but dead, also. No such luck. He claimed the boy attacked him, and the officers went on their merry way. Even though he’s been reported at least 6 times this last year. I wish my ‘judgement’ was as powerful as you claim it is.
“Please, teach your children that police officers are HUMAN too. They make mistakes - sometimes at the cost of another human being’s life…”
Thanks for being so concerned about what I’ve told my children about LE. Yes, I’ve told them that LE are human. They make mistakes. I’ve also told them that about 90% of the time, just like every other human, they DON’T. And, that they should make sure that they do not ever put themselves in the position of doing anything that would make them afraid of dealing with the police. I personally have no fear of police, because I do not do anything that they wouldn’t like. I trust the police to do their job, same as firefighters and grocery clerks. One bad apple doesn’t spoil my trust.
“And yes, I am sure there are many who tend to “gravitate” towards areas where they can have access to our children… There are also “blocks” installed in many such professions to stop someone who is after our children…”
I am glad you finally admit that SOs of every kind make the effort to place themselves where they’ll have the most access to the victims of their choice. However, I think you should contact the magician people who were supposed to put ‘blocks’ (whatever that means) to keep Mr. Pedo-magician from molesting children, because their efforts failed.
In fact, I am confused by your supposed ‘blocks’ theory. You may be confusing that with laws that prohibit SOs from being near or employed near victims they may attack. So rest easy. Because if/when Mr. Pedo-Magician is convicted, he’ll be ‘blocked’ from doing children’s parties or from making children disappear from school in the future.
“There is still no need to throw a blanket “They ALL are” onto any given profession”…
Nobody used the term ‘all’. We simply were not all that surpriesed that an alleged SO positioned himself where children would be easily accessed. Your use of your priest as an example was probably not the best choice.
“God forbid, anyone “mistakes” something you do in your profession (again, I am just assuming you are a clown yourself “Glorybug”, on the defensive…) as being a bit “Perverted”… ”
The thing is, I am not concerned about that, as I am not perverted about anything that is illegal or immoral. I have no worries. Today, on the way to my oldest’s b-ball game, I stopped in my tracks, as I saw my son skateboarding at someone’s house around the corner from the school. After stopping, I realized it was a kid who had long, long hair just like my son. I talked to him and his dad a bit, laughing about it, while the boy petted my dog. As I left, the boy asked me to take him to the b-ball game (there was also a carnival going on there). I laughed and told him no. I said- not because I’m not trustworthy, but because it’s not safe for you to be so trusting of other people. I would have had no problem taking him- he seemed like a fun kid. But, it was scary… I had the dog, a carnival to go to, a ‘child’ I was going to see… all the things a pedo WOULD use to get a kid. And this kid would have gone with. Scary. I make an effort NOT to put myself in situations where someone could accuse me of anything. I also try to teach children to not get in dangerous situations.
“…but then again, you DO “Walk on Water” , now don’t you dear?
“My bad.””
I am sorry you think that purposefully not putting yourself in any situation where you could be wrongfully accused of illegal activity seems ‘miraculous’ to you. It seems like common sense to me.
“…Since you seemed so POSITIVE that he did it, now you are ready to move on and spew more hatred towards another subject matter…”
I don’t ’spew’ hatred. I do hate child abusers and molestors. Even if they are ‘magicians’ or kiddie train conductors.
I do find it unsettling how so many people (any people, for that matter) rush to defend accused child-abusers that they don’t even know. Honestly, my first reaction is- defensive a bit, eh? The only people with reason to believe there is a conspiracy to falsely accuse anyone of child-abuse is someone who secretly fears they will be accused. Because they’ve done it, or have thought about it and just not acted on it yet.
Since you didn’t bother to inform me that Mr. Pedo-magician was indicted on the charges you think LE and the media fabricated, I won’t hold my breath waiting for you to ‘remind’ me when the POS gets convicted. Which is good, cuz I’m tired of hearing about how whole panels of juries repeatedly falsely convict child-abusers.

I’m having trouble finding up-to-date information about his case. Could any of y’all tell me where you are finding info on his indictment and such?

Word of his indictment was on local news. You can also access Denton County’s website and on the left click on Justice Online Records.

Oh, dear. I wonder if Steve is going to pop in and give me an apology? Or is he going to save it until after the plea deal or conviction?
I’m not going to hold my breath.
Besides, we all know that pedo magicians and pedo kiddie train operators never molest children, right?

Thanks for the help everybody. I was finally able to track down his info on the Denton County website and it appears he is only being charged with aggravated kidnapping. This doesn’t come with a sex offender status, does it? I wonder what was on the confiscated tape then.
