SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN
CACHEATED OUT OF CHILDHOOD
Beware Of Youth Programs
​
​
​
. . we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you
1 Thessalonians 5:12
There are many youth organizations that are good for both boys and girls to become involved in that builds carecter and can help childen from broken homes and with low esteam. There was a time when a parent could allow their child join and never have to worry. Not so anymore, we have to be extra careful now that the gay movement has taken over every youth group there is.
​
​It makes it even harder when there is a single parent home. We must always remember that any deseation made by parents and/or guardains concerning family matters affects the children. When parents seperate, divorce or parents who have never married and have children need outside help. Children need attention, people around them that relate and that can help keep them occuipied so they don't have the time to get involved in something they shouldn't. As they say, "Idle hands is the devil's work shop."
No matter what program or organization we allow our children to become involved in, as parents or guardains, we must check them out before getting involved with them. Just because a program is well known or recognized around the country dosen't mean they are all safe and have rules and by laws that we like. For example; the Boy Scouts. From the beginning when Baden-Powell founded the program in Britain in 1908 no gays were permitted to be in or allowed to apply for membership in the Boy Scouts. Now, many years lader the gay movement has finaly worked their way into the organization after spending lots of money, protesting and several years of fighting in court. The Lord calls it abomination, but man has called it a life style.
Another well known organization that is great for children that come from broken homes is the Big Brother & Big Sister program. Higher aspirations, greater confidence, better relationships. Do you remember someone who encouraged you to believe in yourself, who encouraged you to work hard in school and in life? Big Brothers Big Sisters encourages the next generation of children.
They encourage children to set higher goals for high schools and college, improve their confidence in themselves, and help them have better, stronger relationships with their families. The organization is now proud to have gay and lesbian volunteers working with children from broken homes now that they have no choice.
Big Brothe Organization.
While serving in the Air Force at one of my locations, we learned about a Big Brother Organization that accepted other lifestyles, as it is called today. They say they are proud that not only do they have a nondiscrimination policy, but also it's part of there philosophy. They say they embrace diversity and believe every human being can offer positive role modeling.
It came out in the public that this Big Brothers in the Organization was taking their little brothers on vacation, outings, camping, allowing them to stay over night, playing ball with them, taking part with them at their schools and all manner of activities. It was a wonderful things for the parents of these children and they thought they finally had a good role model for their child/ren.
Someone to fill in for a father figure. It got out that the Big Brothers were taking their little brothers on vacation with them, with permission from the parent or guardain, to a nice hotel in another state where other Big Brothers and Little Brothers from other areas would join together for a week of fun and injoyment. Since it was a well known organization across America, everyone thought it was a great idea. The thing is, when it was bed time the Big Brothers would have sex with their little brother and then pass them around to one another.
​
Both these organizations and others are great for children. My Scoutmaster was one of the best things that ever happened to me as a boy. While I was in the military he use to write to me and put a dollar in the letter. A dollar now days isn't worth to much, but back then it was and it lifted my spirits to hear from him while going through basic training.
Please don't stop your children from belonging to these and other programs for the youth. All I'm saying is be on your toes. Remember what the book of instructions says (the Bible) (Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!) There has been some big changes in our country over the years. Anything goes now days.
Big Sister Organization.
One Bad Apple Can Spoil The Whole Bunch!
Here Is One In The Boy Scouts . . . . .
Before we tell this true story, we want our readers to know that the Boy Scout Movement is one of the greatest movements that has come down the road. Just because there are a few of these guys who slip in, doesn't mean all Scoutmasters and volunteers are like this. You just have to check things out before you allow your son to join a troop. Better yet, talk to your paster about starting a program for the children in your church.
One Victim’s Testimony
From 1986 to 1992 I was molested by a man who most thought was a “pillar of our community” in Homewood, Alabama – a suburb of Birmingham. A leader in my Boy Scouts troop, a leader in my church. He had everyone fooled.
I believe there are two kinds of child molesters in the world. One is the trench-coat-wearing, playground-stalking, child-stealing kind of person. He’s quick and violent. The other kind is the serial molester – he embeds himself in the community, wins the trust of families and children, and abuses that position of power to commit the molestation.
Don Corley is the second type. After my parents split up when I was 12, he saw my pre-teen vulnerability, befriended my family and presented himself as someone who could be a father figure to me. I was invited to hang out at his house, go on vacations with him, babysit his children. I won’t get into the details, but the molestation started underunder the pretense of trying to “educate me” on sexual issues. I was young enough and naive enough to believe him.
I was never “forced” or “threatened” overtly. We would sit down and “talk” – he would talk and talk in circles where I would get confused, lose track of things and end up agreeing with him just so the conversation would end. He took what was a carefully crafted parental role and turned it into a violation of a position of safety, trust and protection. It took me until my Senior year in high school to grow up enough to start to say “no.” I dated my first real girlfriend, started to think about college and my future. I wanted to leave town, leave my disgusting past and start my life over. And I did just that in August 1992, I went to college two states away. It certainly was a growing experience, and I was quite absorbed in all the things college presents to you, until my phone rang – someone gave my number to the Homewood police. And they had some questions for me.After I left town, Don Corley finally made a move on a boy who had sense enough to say no, and to tell his parents. The parents did the right thing and contacted the police.
​
​
The police investigated, and every stone they unturned seemed to lead to more and more information. If I remember correctly, the police informed me that they had identified 42 victims over a 25 year period, in a trail leading from California to Alabama.
They believed there were more victims out there, but had to take the investigation to the next level. Some victims didn’t want to go public with their story. Some victims were not open to talking to the police at all. Some victims wanted to press charges, but the statute of limitations had run out and they were unable to. In the end, three boys pressed charges, and I was one of them.
Don Corley avoided a trial and plead guilty to a variety of charges. The law is funny sometimes in the way decisions are made. But the bottom line is that he was sentenced to 30 years in jail, eligible for parole after 10 years.
​
It was really nice not to think about things during those first 10 years. I started to grow up, got married, bought a house. I was able to start shedding the baggage of who I WAS and start growing into who I was to BECOME. Approaching that 10 year mark, I tried to forget and move on. But one day I got a phone call from Don Corley’s lawyer. I can’t recall the exact language of the call but I remember it was essentially a fishing exercise – what would it take for you not to oppose the parole for Don Corley? That call brought back all sorts of emotion for me, and I vowed I would do what I could to help ensure Don Corley served his time. I spoke at the Parole hearing in Montgomery, Alabama along with two other victims.
​
The volume of letters and petitions sent in from the general public in favor of Don Corley not being granted parole spoke volumes, and they denied him parole. Today he is in Kilby Correctional Facility in Montgomery, Alabama.
That was meaningful, however the Parole board clearly said that After the (literally) hundreds of hours of therapy I’ve had since I went public with the fact that I was molested, I can honestly say that I don’t have any hatred or anger towards Don Corley. I’ll be affected by this experience for the rest of my life. I deal with sleep issues, a skewed sense of morality, sexual issues, addiction issues, and low self esteem, which require constant attention, for the rest of my life.
I can honestly say that I don’t have any hatred or anger towards Don Corley . . . .
It’s not just me, the people that are most important to me have to deal with a variety of issues too. I think about the other identified victims and what they have to deal with. Mathematically speaking, Don Corley is in jail for 10 years for each boy that pressed charges. And if I’m right about the 41 other potential victims, well the math is all the more devastating. 30 years just doesn’t seem enough.But the law is the law. I just want him to serve his time.
Parents of molested child sue Big Brothers program,
St. Lucie school board
The parents of a student who was repeatedly molested in 2008 by a volunteer reader at Morningside Elementary are suing the convicted sex offender for civil battery and damages.Anthony J. Tripoli, 69, is serving life in prison after being convicted of sexual battery on a child less than 12 by a perpetrator older than 18, and lewd or lascivious molestation.
The victim's parents, listed in their negligence lawsuit as "R.H." and "L.H," also named as defendants the St. Lucie County School Board, Big Brothers Association of Florida and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties.
Police reports show Tripoli, whom his 8-year-old victim knew as "Mr. Tony," told authorities he would reach into her pants during one-on-one reading sessions.The parent's Stuart attorney Linda Capobianco said the girl is receiving mental health counseling."It's affected the entire family," she said. "Almost every time he pulled her out of class to tutor her, he'd take her to a secluded place in the school and molest her. "Tripoli though, denied the allegation, both to police and at his trial. There was no physical evidence corroborating the girl's story.
In their lawsuit, the girl's parents noted Tripoli became a reading volunteer through Big Brothers Big Sisters. They argued local officials should have known he was a sexual predator. In accusing Big Brothers Big Sisters of negligence, the couple claimed local officials failed to "recognize that Tripoli fit the profile of a sexual predator" and failed to properly supervise him.
Football Coach Found Guilty of Child Molestation;
League Sued for Inadequate Background Check
A former child athlete, who was molested by his coach, sued the Black Hills Junior Football League (BHJFL) after evidence was uncovered of an inadequate background check. The “six-figure” settlement which was made outside of court in January, has made the league “happy with the resolution.”
The victim, whose coach was convicted of molesting him in 2009 when he was 12-years-old claimed that the league was negligent in its hiring of his former
coach, Derwin Pasley.Pasley was convicted in 2010 of the molestation of three boys and sentenced to 12 ½ years behind bars. Two of Pasley’s victims were former players whom he coached on the football team,and one was a 13-year-old that he ministered in a Washington church. Pasley had a suspicious history of sexual molestation allegations that should have been a red flag, barring him from any contact with children.
Since the time of Pasley’s 2009 arrest, three boys have come forward claiming that Pasley molested them. The lawsuit against BHJFL claims that the league was negligent in their background screening of Pasley due to his former indiscretions that should have been a factor in the screening process, had a proper one been conducted. Pasley was arrested in Florida in 1994 for suspicion of a felony sex offense against a child. In this case, Pasley was acquitted of two counts of sexual battery against a child. In 2002, Pasley spent time serving as a youth pastor at Risen Faith Fellowship church in Olympia where another boy accused Pasley of sexually molesting him. The accusations were brought to police who did not press further charges due to insufficient evidence at the time.
According to BHJFL’s attorney, the league “had no idea” about these past accusations against Pasley, despite the conducting of a criminal background check. The State of Washington does not allow disclosure of unfounded child abuse allegations to third parties. Therefore, Pasley’s 1994 acquittal would not have shown up on a criminal background check. Thaddeus Martin, attorney to the now 17-year-old victim who settled this case out of court said the league should have been required to conduct more than a background check to ensure the safety of its child athletes. Knowing that certain criminal accusations would not show up in a background screening process that only included a criminal background check, the league should have put proper policies and procedures in place to protect children from molesters. For example, if the league had put rules in place about coaches riding in cars alone with team members, then perhaps some of the molestations experienced by at least one of Pasley’s victims, would not have occurred. Although the league has since made changes to its policy, Martin remarked that, “It’s not a good idea to wait until there are victims to put something like that in place.”

​
A Thomasville man, once hailed as a hero, is now in jail, charged with child molestation. 38-year-old Rico Walker was arrested Thursday. He’s the founder of "Relief From The Streets," a group aimed at helping young black men.
​
​Walker started the program less than three years ago. He wanted to use his experience as a convicted felon to convince others to change their lives. Folks we spoke with say his arrest comes as a shock and a disappointment.

“I think it's going to be very disappointing to the people that he was mentoring, and to the people that were supporting him," said Tim Watkins of the Thomas County Sheriff’s Office.
Walker was arrested after deputies say a victim he molested for more than 6 years, finally told someone.Investigators believe the victim was in sixth grade when the molestation started.
“I guess the child finally had had enough of Mr. Walker’s association with the child. Mr. Walker had sent very explicit text messages to the victim in this case and the victim provided it to the mother,” Watkins said.
According to investigators once the victim’s mother filed the complaint, Walker was brought in for questioning where he made a partial confession.
“I could never believe that someone could actually do that to a child," said David Nash.17-year-old Devin Nash isn’t in the program, but he’s just one of the hundreds of young black men who looked up to walker because of his group Relief From The Streets.
"He's been there all of the time at the teen center. He would tell us about the classes that he took. He talked about the stuff that he went through; and how he was trying to start a relief from the streets program to help everybody else, and try to give back to the community and to turn around. Something like this happens it's unreal," Nash said.
The Thomas county sheriff's office say no other victims have come forward at this time.Walker was recently denied bond, and he remains in the Thomas county jail.
Note From The Author:
We are not trying to put down youth programs or keep parents from inroling their children in any organiztion or program for children. We are just warning parents to be extra careful in who to trust your children with. You never know.
Things A Parent Could Do Before
Inroleing Their Children Into Any Youth Program or Organization
1. Make sure the program or organization is on the up and up. Every program has a sponsor or backer. It could be a church, school, etc. that allows them to make use of their building or provides a meeting place.
2. Ask other parents about what they think of the program and how their children like it.
3. Meet with the leaders and/or volunteers to see what kind of people they are, where they work, do they attend church, are they married with children and are they gay. More times than not, child molesters are gay, do they have a police record, are their any complaints about them.
4. Pay a surprize visit to the meetings from time to time and to an outing or camp out.
5. Ask your child how the meetings are going, how was the outing or camp, did you have fun and etc. If your child acts funny, different or dosen't want to talk about it, it's time to check things out.
It Shouldn't Hurt To Be A Child in any activity, program, or organization!
