The law states your guilt must be proven. But common sense tells us that we must protect our children at all cost. If he is not guilty then let him return to his job, but do not let him near the kids until it is proven one way or another.

I dont think he should be allowed to go back to work. He is not a good leader at all. I remember very well that he bragged himself up alot,and didnt include a good portion of the youth kids in his activities, only his favorites. He did a good job of making alot of kids feel left out and unimportant. I would not be surprised if he was guilty considering the fact there were several complaints about his behavior towards some of the youth girls, all of which were disregarded by his father who is the senior pastor. No action was taken whatsoever. I used to be in the youth group at that church in case any one was wondering.

A man of God doing man's dirtiest deed.

How sickeningly ironic.

Dont like the guy

[Youth Pastor Raw Humpin]

I call him Youth pastor Raw-Humpin' cuz he likes to dry hump little girls while his wife is away. However, that little tramp probably just busted him cuz she got a new boyfriend and didn't need his attention anymore...
