Well, They Checked the Box

The "do not disclose information about the student" box that is.

I suppose that is a good enough reason to withhold information concerning a dangerous sexual offender. Especially when the said offender is attending a school, filled with potential victims. And, it takes away all responsibility for those who oversee this "not disclosing information" bit when the sex offender attacks a teacher and threatens to rape her while holding broken scissors to her neck.

AISD police say 18-year-old Nathan Mendoza has been charged with attempted aggravated sexual assault. There's also a twist. He was a registered sex offender.

[...]

AISD police say towards the end of school on Tuesday, Mendoza stayed in a classroom after the last school bell rang. They say he and the teacher were alone when he threatened her with a broken pair of scissors.

"Held that to her throat. Told her he was taking her hostage. Demanded sex from her," Silas Griggs with AISD police said.


Even worse, this wanna be rapist, and prior convicted sex offender is on the run.

He was living in a nearby halfway house run by the Texas Youth Commission, which says given the circumstances, he should be considered dangerous while he's on the run.

While I understand the idea that one has the right to an education- I believe that it's really less of a right- and more of a privilege. And, being such- there are certain things that should make losing that privilege possible. Such as being a danger to the well being of other students or facility. Let's face it, if we can't trust to to not attempt to sexually assault someone while attending school- then most likely you really don't belong there to begin with.
In truth, 18-year-old Nathan Mendoza shouldn't be out of jail, let alone anywhere near a school.
Mendoza lived in a halfway house and was going through the Texas juvenile justice system for indecency with a 4-year-old girl in 2002 in the San Antonio area.

2002, it's 2006 now. He's 18- making him around 14 or so when he committed his first (known) offense. And now, he's attempted to rape a teacher, and is on the run.

I wonder if next time he'll just make the leap and kill his victim, seeing how murder isn't all that far behind assault and threats to ones life.

Gee, I'm sure glad that his guardians had the option of "checking that box" aren't you? After all, his right to privacy is so much more important that other peoples right to be in a safe environment.

Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
