Fireman Wants Job Back

Let me start this by saying that I believe every person capable of working, should work, although I put some restrictions on exactly what sort of jobs some people should be allowed to have. Take for instance the teller at my local bank. I wouldn't a former bank robber filling that position. Even more, I wouldn't want a known child abuser babysitting my kids. Or a mass murderer working as the greeter at my local Walmart. You see, some people just shouldn't have some jobs.

Willard Hyslop had a job. In fact, he had what most people would consider a good job. And then some people complained, and he lost his job. Now, Hyslop wants his job back. And, his employer wants to give him his job back. Only, there are still those that think Willard Hyslop shouldn't have that job. So, he's sueing.

Hyslop worked as a firefighter for Kenockee Township. As part of that job, he fought fires- of course. But he also did other things. Like participate in parades, and work at nonemergency elementary school events. His says "He's a real hard-working guy. We never had a problem with him on our department," and is fully supporting him in his efforts.

The issue which caused Hyslop his job was a conviction in December 1992, for which he served a year in jail and 36 months probation.

The crime?

Hyslop pleaded guilty in St. Clair County Circuit Court to two counts of attempted, second-degree criminal sexual conduct for having sexual relations with his then girlfriend's 6-month-old baby, according to court records.

Rewind to the part where he attended community parades and school events, as part of his employment with the township fire department.
There are certain people we tell our children to trust, because we know that if there is ever the need for them- these are the people whose sole purpose of employment is to serve and protect. These are just normal jobs- they come with responsibility and the need for the public to be able to trust those doing the jobs. Yeah, Hyslop might be very capable of putting out fires, but he's not really the type of person I want comforting a child at the scene of an accident.

Umm..yeah... I really don't think he shoud be allowed to be a firefighter. But what is really bothering me on this one, is why he only served 6 months & probation for sexually victimizing an infant!! What kind of sentence is that!?

Oops. That was supposed to say "1 year" not 6 months. I mixed up my numbers. My brain is a bit frazzled today.

He wins the "Sickest Pervert" award for my day. I cannot even believe, that his former employer wants him back. And I can't tell you how I feel about his sentence. Too many cuss words, it wouldn't be "safe for work."

Misslisa, about that sentence- I didn't even want to get started on that... because then I would have never got to the "wants his job back" part of the post. So, I closed my eyes and pretended I didn't read it. Because, sometimes, the only thing that ensures I continue to have faith in the justice system is my ignoring the horrible errors made.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

Mom Arrested After Baby Found Mauled By Dogs

This is a story that I really don't want to share, it angers me all the while breaking my heart at how someone could be so cold and callous. My only comment is that there is always a better way. Some may of thought of going to the hospital, others may have thought about calling someone- anyone for help. But the complete disregard this person showed is horrifing. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy. The mother told investigators that the baby was still-born at home. She said she panicked and disposed of the baby boy a few miles from her home, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. The investigation began after authorities received a 911 call from a frantic mother. Dispatcher: "911, what's your emergency?" Caller: "My kids were just outside, telling me that the dog was ch...
