This latest horror from Jacksonville proves the point that grownups care more about grownups than they do about children. The suspensions of ELEMENTARY & JR HIGH students is NOT for the kids, it's for the adults and it's CYA.
Why was this child predator's previous conduct only a misdemeanor?
Smith has been a registered sex offender since a 1993 conviction in Duval County for attempted kidnapping and selling obscene materials. He has been arrested several times since then, most recently in 2009 on a charge of child abuse after making obscene phone calls to a 10-year-old girl, making verbal threats, and impersonating a social worker with the Florida Department of Children and Families who claimed to be investigating the girl’s family.
Smith pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in that case and was released from jail May 31.
And by ZERO policy for pervs, I mean zeroing them out.Williams said Smith had just met with police Friday morning to comply with a state law that requires sex offenders to verify their address once a year.
