Stealing is wrong

But the potential lifelong emotional damage caused by sexual predators cannot even be compared to the temporary upset resulting from thievery of a business.

Stealing, while totally disgusting (stealing from an organization that provides services to children? There is simply no excuse for that...) but it does not directly result in the kind of trust issues, self esteem problems, sexual dysfunction and a myriad of other mental health problems that can occur when a child is sexually molested.

The kids who might have benefitted from use of the money stolen are not likely to know that the theft ever occurred, but the children who were abused by a trusted educator are likely to be damaged for life.

""A teacher supposedly touches a student and his bond is 1,500,000 and someone has 2 breaking and enterings plus SAFE CRACKING and his is 15,000? Why would they want this guy back out on the street?""

He's not at all likely to come up with the bond money and the court knows that. He'll sit in jail until trial.

As for the disparity in bond amounts, the teacher has potentially damaged the psyche of a human being, while Mr. B&E stole money and stuff, inflicting no emotional damage on anyone. People will always be more valuable than items.

Dear b r -
I don't think you read the stories closely enough before you comment... the bond for the teacher was set at 10% of $500,000 (or $50,000) for each count. For a total of $150,000. NOT 1,500,000 as you wrote in your comment.

Error: question invalid.

Child molestation is WAY worse than B&E. Refute that.

whats with these bonds?

A teacher supposedly touches a student and his bond is 1,500,000 and someone has 2 breaking and enterings plus SAFE CRACKING and his is 15,000? Why would they want this guy back out on the street?
