Eric Sims- DeMolay. Held meetings at Masonic Temple downtown and attracted young boys with trips to Penny Annie's and Worlds of Fun. Hard to read a guy sometimes. They dont all drive white vans with blacked-out windows or have tattoos of Jolly-Ranchers on their palms. With all the beautiful women in Lawrence I just cant understand why a guy would choose to be " Uncle Bad-Toucher " Maybe I'm not supposed to understand. Oh, well. Hope they get chewed. Ever touch my kid and I'm keeping the hand.

There is no cure for them. Give them an injection and send them to hell.

We are fighting the same problems in Mclouth Kansas. www.justiceforsummer.com It will make you sick of how people turn an eye to abuse of a child, especially at a public school.

As an adult with a job that puts him in close proximity to children I am somewhat offended by the article. It all but implies that any adult that chooses to work with kids should be treated with suspicion. So there are 15 men across the state of Kansas over several decades that the Boy Scouts know were not good people. 15? How many total scout leaders were interacting appropriately over that time period. I'm not defending how the organization handled the situation. Instead I'm saying lets not treat EVERY adult that wants to work with kids as a pedophile because SOME people have bad intentions.

It does not imply that "any adult" who works with kids has ulterior motives. It does state, CORRECTLY, that pedophiles find ways to work with children. This is true. Sorry if that offends you, but don't let your personal situation cloud your interpretation of the text here. Articles like this serve a useful purpose. Too many people, despite reading horror stories in the news, remain hopelessly naive and place way too much trust in people who are out to prey on their children. If you work with kids and love kids, you should approve of such articles, which only seek to open people's eyes.
