Man stole from teens in his care

Through his position at Boys Town, Larry W. Clang, was entrusted with caring for the young people who lived with him and his wife.

I don't know how this young man "plea bargained" his charges all the way down to "paying restitutuion." At the same time, I know he has four (yes, FOUR) little kids and this fact was probably woven into the fabric of his hearing. I was appalled to learn of this deceit thrown up on young women who need help. Obviously, so does Larry Clang. Criminals are MADE, not born. I can only hope his young family can recover and go about their lives.

I lived with lars (lary clang) he was a good man yes he has THREE KIDS. I personaly know the girls he lived with. He is a pig and should not take a plea bargan. He needs to serve the time and pay her back him self and his wife needs to do time too. this was not all his idea. Please dont feel sorry for his family feel sorry for those of us he stole from. She had nothing and now thanks to him still wont.

I know Lars Clang very personally. He and his wife do have 4 small children now! He is a lier and a pig!! He should serve time for what he did! He hasn't learned any lesson here! He will continue to lie, steal and hurt peolpe who trust him. He is the worst kind of criminal!!!!!!

I am so sorry for those of you who suffered at the hands of Larry Clang. He DOES have FOUR kids now (know him and his family personally). I agree his wife should be involved in the punishsment but not even her name was mentioned in the newspapers and I thought it was perhaps because she really DIDN'T know anything about what he was doing. I agree he should pay by going to prison but doubt he will. Again, I am so sorry for those of you he hurt.

Larry, aka Lars, is a pathetic human being. I, too, know him personally and I could tell something wasn't right about this guy within two seconds of meeting him. This isn't his worst offense people. He doesn't have an honest, decent bone in his body. Hopefully, all his lies and extracurricular activities outside the home will catch up to him someday.

The newspaper said a "spokesperson" for Boys Town had reimbursed all the women from whom he had stolen. Is this not the case? Are there still young women out there who have NOT been reimbursed?? I think it is a horrible misscarriage of justice that he won't go to prison IF he can pay restitution to Boys Town. BUT, since his wages have been garnisheed since 2004 for "civil" problems totalling more than $20,000 I doubt he will make it. I am so sorry for the girls. Also, where does Boys Town get off labeling him as a "teacher????" He barely made it through high school let alone college!!!!

I don't know Abbie Clang personally but i noticed more than one person commented that you think she should also face charges. Why do you believe that she was involved? What kind of person is she? Just curious. I do think that the girls he stole from were totally reimbursed.

I lived with the clangs for 2 and a half years. I had no parents or a dime in my pocket when I set foot in their house. I thought of him as my dad. He stile a large amount of money from me, but for me it was about the trust I instilled in these people, after not being able to trust anyone and they screwed me over. It is quit sad, and yes bt did pay back those who lost their money. It's sad that peopl like that take advatage of ORPHANS. But they aren't holding me down i have been very sucessful! Boys town is not a bad place they just had a fee bad apples

Abbie sucked! She had post partum for like a year, was haggered and liked to put us girls down! I don't know how many times she called me fat ( I weighed 135). She was not a good person and set a terrible example for women. She dropped out of college to get married that prick some role model!

Wow, that sucks! I'm so sorry. Sounds like shes a poor excuse for a woman!! If she didn't like being a mom and role model she shouldn't have been a family counselor then!! What an idiot! She obviously has body issues of her own if shes calling young women fat! What a loser!
