Shouldn't he be in jail? Anyone else would be

[NyQuiiLx]

It’d be one thing if he had no priors, but the fact that he was convicted, slid right through the cracks and was around children is ridiculous.

[ptmnplayz]

Had him as a counceler last year he always was acting hella weird

[dandydude]

This is really sad, he was a good counselor, and he was even the guy who gave me the tour of my school. But it's really sad to see that this has happened to him.

As a former educator, the one thing that was required for all Louisiana Schools, you went through an extensive background when it comes to working with school aged children. One could have just a traffic ticket on their record . . . Before you stepped foot inside any school, here, you had to explain the reasoning behind that ticket. I do understand that with their being such a shortage within many areas of education, some do and will slip through the system; however, how in hell, you, being an adult, probably with children of your own, could you even stoop so damn low as solicit children in such a ring. Not only that, but to other adults, not knowing anything of their backgrounds. What if one of the said child/children had suffered their demise . . . You do need to have your behind locked up for good. You were hired as a counselor . . . Someone students come to when they're in distress or just need someone to talk to and your grown ass betrayed their trust in a way such as this. With all the hell that continues to hover over the Black Male, you are just another link in the chain that continues to keep heaping the By-Words upon us. What's even more sad is the fact that you definitely slipped through the crack within the educational system and was hired on . . . for you were convicted. True, I know the criteria of your conviction was probably for other reasons; however, that should have been an indicator of what not to do when it came to the trust of the innocent . . .

We’ll that is bad! Like Darren, he signed in fcps but fcps didn’t know he was bad or he was about to do something bad IN Fairfax co. I hope that the students won’t get… you know . And I hope that fcps won’t get bad employees i mean shouldn’t Darren be in jail? Or maybe he is IN jail after he was fired?
