I love how quickly the workers act. The owner goes straight to dialing 911 without second guessing and hands his phone to his associate and she knows exactly what to do.
Benjamin and the others who helped that child in need were guardian angels. They did everything right, and I was really gratified to see Benjamin hanging around behind the creeper as he was initially being questioned by police. He wasn't going to let him get away with anything.
Your dude was selling dope, and that wasn't the 1st he was caught selling dope in order to get 20 years and it wasn't no small amount, I'm sure it was herion or meth and that shit destroys more lives than these people do, I think your full of ish, I was around drug users and drug dealers, they get a slap on the wrist until multiple times, the users they just put thru rehab
He definitely got some kind of weird release from this whole ordeal. He's experienced in law and he knew he wouldn't get more than a slap on the wrist for doing this. Chilling.
@@joeaardvark9214 That is absolutely not true. Not even close. Since you're the one doing this, I'll ask you directly. Why do people on RU-vid just feel like they can lie for no reason, with no motive? You literally just lie for absolutely no reason and act like you've done nothing wrong. Why? What does this gain you, at all?
@@joeaardvark9214 With proof? Well you can't post links on RU-vid so I guess you're going to have to use your brain. So this is probably already a lost cause for you since you're just going to deny anything and everything counter to what you stupidly believe anyways. But what you said makes absolutely no sense. If cops had to be present for every crime committed in order to arrest somebody, almost nobody would get arrested ever. There are some obvious cases where it's required that you can go ahead and straw-man but I'm just letting you know the moment I recognize you doing that, I'll just stop reading and will start trolling. Even in a case of simple misdemeanor assault, your notion that the cops would have to be there is absolutely insane. It's usually the case (and rightfully so) that a victim reports the assault, a cop comes to investigate and if they decide there's enough evidence (injuries) they go ahead and arrest the attacker. And guess what? They don't even need to see video footage of it either (and shouldn't have to). Please go ahead and try to tell me that it wouldn't hold up on court either *wiTh pRoOf* I'll TOTALLY believe you and will DEFINITELY change my mind
@@joeaardvark9214 RU-vid doesn't allow links so I'm not sure how you want me to provide pRoOf. It takes cursory knowledge of how police operate and a sliver of common sense to understand. If you commit simple assault on somebody with no witnesses, then they call they cops, the cops will review evidence (injuries) and arrest you. Whether you fight it and win in court is a separate issue. But 100% they have the ability (rightfully so) to arrest you without being present for the crime. Your line of thinking makes zero sense, despite what Google tells you.
If you can get arrested for propositioning a prostitute, why in the world can't you be arrested for propositioning a minor and specifically a child under 13 ? The law makers in any state that don't draft the necessary laws protecting our children in circumstances like this need to be held accountable BEFORE a tragedy happens. "Disturbing the Peace" is NOT even close to what this man was trying to do
I feel like "propositioning a minor" is in fact a crime, but of course it's something very specific, so officers couldn't technically do anything about it, so they gotta grasp at straws to get him of something else, anything else, just to take him in. I thinks laws should have more room for common sense. Anyone could see what this guy was after, but i guess he didn't say the right magic words to trigger the specific crime of "propositioning a minor". I've been through this BS with cops before, it sucks. Nonces get away with so much, you wouldn't believe.
@@LISTINGTOSTARBOARD If we're thinking of the same painter, he also had his "youth movement" & was a tree hugging vegetarian that wanted to save the animals & the environment!!! Sold to the world as far right but really, another liberal nutter!!!!
The creepiest and weirdest thing about these freaks, is how overly "friendly" and personable they are. Smiling, relaxed, polite, like they are your best neighbor. 😳😵💫
also notice how he called the child “the kid” the whole time instead of using his name which he obviously didn’t know. That was an immediate red flag 🚩
I actually think he’s acting like that because he’s manic and doesn’t even fully understand what he’s saying or the severity of the situation. Of course being manic doesn’t MAKE you attracted to children. That’s still something he has to already be into for it to show up while manic. But it explains his demeanor and also him saying some really weird shit
@@jypsych3556I’ve been around an unbelievably amount of different types of mentally disordered individuals, including those exhibiting mania. This is not a case of mania, this behavior is commonly seen in child abusers/sex offenders. They commonly have a stunted brain layout, thus exhibiting similar symptoms of immaturity and sexual preferences. It’s the one thing that I’ve seen in ALL sex offenders.
Dudes a lawyer and knew how to choose his words carefully to keep him from getting into trouble...makes u wonder how many kids he has took out in the ocean
He’s literally telling you he’s attracted to kids and is caught trying to act on his impulse and he’s given a slap on the wrist. When he goes through with his plan eventually, and he will, I hope the judge who did this never has a restful night sleeping again.
I have no words. This guy is a clear and present danger to kids and society at large. Kudos to the workers there for not hesitating to step in to protect a child.
You can def thank the state attorney's office for that bone head decision. Coupled with the fact that luring or enticing a child is a misdemeanor, and not under the misdemeanor exceptions, police can't arrest for misdemeanors that are not misdemeanor exceptions (unless the witnessed the misdemeanor themselves)
Not to mention the police had to rely on the civilians to enact a civilians arrest just to place this monster in cuffs, even AFTER admitting to being attracted to children. What the actual fuck Idaho?!
As a kid, just knowing you have encountered an adult that means you terrible harm is traumatizing. Even if they don't lay a finger on you, it sticks to you.
I agree. When I was about 8, my mom went inside this building, and after a while I got bored and went to look for her. As I was looking in the building's windows, a white van (the stereotypical one we all think about in these situations) pulled up, and a dude leaned out the window and said "What are you doing out here?" With like a kid-friendly smiley demeanor. I said "I'm just waiting for my mom. Her car and her boyfriend (still in the car) is right over there." And he pulled off after I said that. I assumed it was security roaming the perimeter. I assumed that until one day about 20 years later, I realized in all my time as an adult, in all the jobs I've had, I've never seen a place that has security rolling around in white vans, and that guy was probably a pervert. I don't know for sure though. Just the thought that that COULD have been a close call has me shook for all the kids that had to experience it for real, and for the kids that will in the future.
All children have to grow up this way - and if you are female it’s your whole life. We live where Men are free and everyone else sacrifices their freedom so men can be free. If you have the right skin tone.
I’m noticing this really specific weird and creepy demeanor with these pedophiles when they get caught. It’s almost like they’re acting like a mischievous kid who got caught being naughty. All the weird inappropriate smiling when they give their outlandish bs answers. It’s really bizarre and so unsettling to watch. The guy who got picked up at a school stalking and attempting to abduct a little girl he found on social media I think had the same exact demeanor. Gives me chills.
Children need to be taught about how adults may try to manipulate them. These boys ' instincts were spot on. Their actions were smart to find an adult and to insist on getting their help .😪🙏
It's fkin CRAZY to think neither of my Parents ever WARNED me or my siblings about Adults trying to Abduct us when we were little...Two shit for brains parents...
They usually are and thankfully tend to be smart enough to not fall for it. Unfortunetly a grown adult is almost always going to be able to overpower a small child so it doesent stop it all the time and it's horrible.
The man recognizing the situation and immediately going into protector mode is commendable. At our worst, humans can be vile creatures. Even this random stranger showed us that our basic instinct is to help and care for one another.
The fact that he is an attorney and can represent himself in cases like this is _very disturbing_ aside from his confession of being an absolute dirt bag
This would be a criminal case if he had of been charged with something serious. He couldn't really represent himself very well if that had of happened since he is basically family law not criminal law.
@@Youre-Welcome I feel like that point isn't really relevant to what OP is saying. and it isn't a crime but it's evidence to the character and motivations of the creep
I worked at a maximum security state hospital in california that housed the state's worst sex offenders (who were civilly committed due to their dangerousness and likelihood to reoffend after serving their prison sentences). You'd be shocked at how many of them were functional adults during their civilian lives, including some being lawyers. You truly never know who you're dealing with when interacting with strangers in public.
Well yeah, you have to commit a crime to be charged for said crime. You cant just throw people in jail cause you think they are going to do something. He was charged for the crimes he did commit, enticing a child and disturbing the peace. He didn't commit any other crimes. Dude should definitely be watched cause he's very suspicious but suspicious isn't a crime.
@@TortoiseCashFlow yeah and when these children are kidnapped the chances of finding them are quite low they either die or survive .. i mean you can talk law all you want until it happens to your own kids 🙂
@@Ryan_tremaine_klarenbach That's literally how the law works though. You can't imprison someone for crimes they haven't committed. What if someone arrested you while shopping because you might end up shoplifting? Imagine giving any government the power to arrest people based on what they believe people might do? I know it sucks because it seems to help criminals, but if you changed the law then innocent people will be targeted as well.
@@Tyler-hk4wo You guys realise that for some crimes there are "attempteds", right? Like attempted murder? Obviously it's a different crime than actual murder, but if you attempt to murder someone and fail, they don't just go "Oh that's okay, off you go". It's still a serious crime. There's no reason at all why attempted kidnapping of a child shouldn't carry an incredibly strict punishment. Just because the child got away or a witness stepped in and prevented it, that doesn't mean you haven't done something serious.
There was an incident maybe 10 years ago here in Scotland where a male went to a police station to state he was sexually attracted to children, lived near a school and was scared he’d abuse a child. The police said there’s nothing they can do until he offends, which is insane. Next contact he had with the police was when the put in his door 6 months later as he’d kidnapped and abused a young girl There needs to be a point where someone scared they’ll offend or if others suspect someone will offend, there’s a point of intervention. I’ve no idea how, or even if, it can be treated but those out there who genuinely want help and ignoring them is only a ticking time bomb
@@TsundeRea He could…but why can’t the police take that kind of admission seriously??? Better safe than sorry with kids, IDC the scenario. Prevention is better than cure…
THAT is a mental health issue and sadly you are 100% correct. However, I don't think mental health issues should be put on the police. There needs to be a separate entity that cares for mental health issues such as that. Psychopaths, Sociapaths, Anti-Social Personality Disorder, Pedophiles, Necrophiliacs, etc Need to be handled BEFORE they commit these terrible atrocities. If you've watched a lot of EWU ( or any murder interrogations) you'll find MANY who were diagnosed and KNOWN as "high-risk" yet the just walked the streets... It really blows my mind we don't have a better system for treating these people outside of waiting for them to commit heinous crimes and then putting them in prison. What a travesty.
@@TsundeReathey want to but being known as a pedophile might get you killed, your life is ruined even tho they didn’t do anything. That’s the reason they never come out, I remember a case about a child(he was 15 or something) who told her mother that he’s attracted to kids and she got help but his life was ruined.
Because Democrats. Don't you know already, your children is the least on their mind, they're rather protect the LGBTQ MAP community over you and your children. When society allows grown men pretending to be a woman to enter a public bathroom with your young children, you know society and it's system is fk'd. A father wouldn't be able to enter a woman's bathroom and stand guard to make sure his daughter is safe, but a man with woman face can enter and stand at the next stall as that daughter. Some might call me a bigot, but I call myself a concerned citizen.
It isn't what you think it is. It's just a law that states an adult can't ask a child to go somewhere with them outside of public view. It's a code used specifically to punish people the court can't reach a standard of evidence to charge with a felony.
Crazy how there are enhancements for simply possessing a firearm during another felony but we can't have enhancements for crimes against children. Our government is literally telling us they care more about guns than children
Yeah, I live in the same town, Coeur d'alene, and was caught for having opiates, I was an addict, and I got 10 months in prison!!! Its truly a broken system!!!! 😢I hate it.
@TsundeRea it's not attempted kidnapping because he didn't touch them or try to force them to go anywhere. I have no idea what interfering with custody is (there's no such law in my state, at least by that name) but again, he didn't technically do anything to deprive the children of liberty. We can be angry that he got lucky, but remember, that also means those kids got home safe.
when I was 6 or 7 a man who was in his early 20’s started speaking to me at the grocery store when my mom sent me down the aisle to get cereal. I immediately knew it was weird for this man to be speaking to me this long, the way he was. he said he’s buy the cereal for me and to come with him to find me mom. Kids always know when something is up but it hurts my heart that predators will prey on the most vulnerable.
As a child and..still now. I have autism so it was hard to tell for me whether a person was showing kindness of their heart or just manipulating me. I did not understand when something was up and was manipulated to do things for a teen when I was 7 myself. I am more self aware as an adult but have been manipulated countless times believing it to be kindness.
@@JoJo-xo7lgfor real, kids can be *VERY* easily persuaded. they do not _always_ know. what an odd thing for them to say. i’d say when kids say someone’s being weird or making them feel weird, listen to them. always!
@@JoJo-xo7lg This is so horrifyingly true. My 7 year old is a people pleaser and would do almost anything to keep someone from being upset, regardless of the reason. I won't let my child be another statistic. But it terrifies me how easily it could end up this way.
A bit of context - as the man here mentions in the video, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and hadn't been taking his medication. However, he does not just have bipolar - he has bipolar with psychosis, likely schizoaffective disorder. He hadn't been taking any medication when this episode happened and he was in the middle of a psychotic episode. When you look at the video this lines up: most pedophiles or offenders of that nature react like criminals when they're caught, because they ARE criminals - they will lie for their benefit, attempt to mislead in a rational manner, etc. This guy straight up just admits to anything whenever he's pushed - he's asked if he likes kids, he says no, then he's asked again and he says yes - what criminal would just admit to that? He's asked if he asked the boy to go on a boat with him and he freely admits it - why would he admit to that while knowing it makes him look so much worse? It's clear that this guy is just completely disconnected from reality - even the dumbest criminals wouldn't answer questions the way he's doing it, and he's a freaking lawyer at that. I'm guessing some people will say that he was doing this because he somehow knew he would get the light punishment he received...that's not the case. There's no bigger slam dunk for a prosecutor than putting away a pedophile, so it doesn't make sense that they'd just pass him up. The authorities actually gained access to his devices and found no evidence of any child pornography as well. These findings and his medical history are the only reason this guy is able to continue practicing law (he was investigated by the bar association). I feel bad for the guy because this situation clearly looks awful but it seems like he genuinely was in the middle of a psychotic episode where he was disconnected from reality and now his life is ruined. In any case though, thank god for the aware workers at the beach who stopped this situation, because pedophile or not, letting two children stay with a person who is suffering from a psychotic episode is a recipe for disaster.
Even if that's the case, how do we know it didn't just bring his real desires to the forefront. I've known many people with bipolar and seem these episodes. And none of them tried to abduct children...
@@mendmywings7238Because everyone is different. My bipolar granddad would ditch his medicine, deemed himself cured, bought a villa in Brazil and hired a couple women to please him. He got deported when he got so bad he ran across the streets naked for the umpteenth time.
@@mendmywings7238 short answer to the best of my understanding, you don't. Considering the behaviour though, an actual desire brought to the forefront or not, I wouldn't let my child anywhere near him for a second. Having said that another neorlogical condition has a common misconception attached to it with a similar assumption. A lot of people assume that tourette coprolalia outbursts are what people are thinking about slipping out so something particularly offensive must be what they actually believe. That's not the case. Most of the time it's not even a conscious thought that comes out and even when it is, it's more like something the person does not want to say because they know it to be bad and not what they believe but the stress of worrying about a tic triggers it to happen. Very different conditions though but it's an example that how the brain works and what can occur when connections are crossed or not working correctly can get headachingly complicated really fast. Also worth remembering that as every person is unique, every case in unique. There are common traits and indicators but they are very broad and don't all always apply case to case. On the old DSM-4 I'm an Aspie. DSM-5 it's under ASD with a bunch of other things. The number of people I've interacted with that have asked "are you sure? You seem so expressive and don't talk monotone". I've also had over 40yrs derping from humiliating disaster to humiliating disaster learning new coping stratagies and adapting as I went
It’s actually not that unbelievable. Money equals power. The moment I realized he was a lawyer I was like, “yeah… this is gonna be one of those slaps on the wrist…”
Why wouldnt this be an attempted kidnapping charge? What the hell are they doing??? This guy needs to be watched. Someone needs to put him on the FBIs radar. Please.
I imagine the FBI knows. Agreed the charge was absolutely ridiculous. Do not underestimate the backwardness of I Daho. It’s beautiful, but the neighbors- yikes.
It's not attempted kidnapping because he didn't technically try to kidnap them...kidnapping has a legal definition. It's usually something along the lines of forcibly moving a person from one place to another. He didn't use force, hell, he didn't even touch the kids. Our system isn't broken, he was just smart enough to know what not to do to avoid committing a crime.
@@Youre-WelcomeIdaho's definition of kidnapping Seizure or confinement of another person with the intent to secretly detain them against their will. *Leading, enticing, or detainment of a child younger than 16 years of age with the intent to hide them from their custodial parent or legal guardian or steal anything from them.*
@@toedrag-release thank you. I wondered if it was regarding a difference in jurisdiction. But no... This fits the definition. He was clearly attempting to entice a minor. I think the cops just wanted to avoid that huge amount of paperwork.
"I am her dad, but I don't know her moms name. And I forgot that my daughter is actually a boy and that there are two of them. I don't remember their names, but they are my children for sure."
You can't get away with anything now... but I can understand why because law enforcement officers have children and it got to be tempting to give this crap an accident.
Officer: “Do you talk to kids often?” Scumbag: “No” Officer: “Why today?” Scumbag: “It’s my Birthday.” WTFFF how is no one talking about this, dude had the mindset that he deserves a kid as his bday present 😭😭😵💫
They are called MAPS. The term minor-attracted person (MAP) refers to individuals with sexual attraction to individuals who are minors or below the legal age of consent. It used to be known as a sexual predator. But the LGBTQ community is trying to make this ok..
@@soulwarrior7721 are you okay? what kind of propaganda are you intaking every day? the lgbtq+ community isn't the ones pushing to call pedos MAPS, it is the pedos themselves pushing that kind of information and disguising it as lgtbq+ backed to spark outcry or to make the lgbtq+ community seem worse to the public eye when people in the lgbtq+ community would never do something like that. Everyone sane knows this, don't even try that shit here LMAO.
trying to tie the lgbtq+ to a situation like this is disgusting, stop trying to push your narrative in the comments of a video of a very terrible situation.
@@soulwarrior7721 I hope to God no one is trying to make crimes against children ok. I always understood the term minor-attracted person to mean exactly that: a person attracted to minors. I think it's worth differentiating because some minor-attracted people will choose not to act on that attraction, whereas the term "sexual predator" implies they have the intention to or have already act(ed) on it. TL;DR All child sexual predators are MAPs, but not all MAPs are child sexual predators.
I think it also might be a manic episode on his part. No excuse for being attracted to children, being manic doesn’t MAKE you a pedophile. That has to be there already. But it does make you really unaware of how crazy you sound and makes you think some crazy shit like yup I’m pretty sure that kid is my future son and that means what I’m doing is okay. And blatantly admitting he’s attracted to kids sounds like a very manic thing to just openly admit
Lol. What do you think they could have done? Arrest him because feelings? Admitting you're a pedo is unfortunately not a crime. He didn't actually assault, kidnap, or even touch anyone...but you're enraged because you're ignorant to the law and how it works 😂
@@jypsych3556I see you commenting on a couple of other comments and I just wanted to say that I appreciate your critical thinking skills in regards to this. I’m not saying that the man is innocent because I truly don’t know, but he definitely appears to be manic
9:59 Try's luring the cops. Is this creep for real?? Him smiling throughout the video is absolutely demonic! His charges speak volumes about our justice system, especially not bothering to protect our children.
This happened at my job. I work at the resort that runs the parasailing. I was terrified when I heard about it. Coeur d Alene is known as a pretty safe town . This was a shock to the community. Doesn’t surprise me that guy immediately intercepted. People in this town are kinder than any. What a good guy. That pedo is such a creep his smile gave me chills..
Your town needs to "take care" of this problem. Where are the real men that will actually protect the kids? If that dude is walking the streets, your town and kids are NOT safe.
He’s a true sociopath and I felt so much danger from him. I learned the hard way that there are people who are _simply evil._ Some people are born with an instinct to hurt people…and this monster truly fits that category
@@TheGreekPianist Yeah part of me wanted to mess with him but he has someone answering his office calls. I just hope the locals know who he is. Crazy that he is still in business
This guy should have been arrested for trying to abduct this boy! He lied about being his Dad and lord knows what could have happened to the poor kid! There should be stricter penalties against these dangerous predators! One day in jail is hardly a deterrent against people with these tendencies! And why didn’t the boaters call the police when the kid asked for help? Just because this guy was a smooth talker, no one acted like he had done anything wrong! His actions spoke volumes!
The guy who called 911 and handed it to the lady did that so smoothly and calmly, didn't miss a beat. Excellent instincts looking out for kiddos and keeping the situation from escalating 💜
I love how they contacted the witnesses so they could place him under citizens arrest, they did their job and did their job well. Even when the law failed them. Great job. I’m proud of them.
If you are a parent reading the comments, DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN RUN OFF BY THEMSELVES. There are creeps everywhere, dude. It’s insane. I used to work for the public selling cellphones and the amount of people I had to report for illicit children pictures on their phone was INSANE. Please watch your kids at all times.
I’m also concerned about you possibly going through private images on a phone you’re possibly fixing or taking as a trade… I’m glad you caught pedophiles but don’t want you looking through my personal device contents Like whaaaaa
Thank you for posting his face and name and other details. Most do not. Everyone needs to know who this guy is. This is just gross. Everyone did a great job handling this just to have him set free. Boggles the mind.
Brave, smart boy. He sure is clued in, and his parents have clearly done well teaching him of stranger danger without creating unnecessary fear in him. Penalty did not nearly match the crime though.
He was laughing bc he actually knows the law and knew he could get away with it 😢 thid is so sickening!! 1 day in jail is outrageous!! Tried to kidnapped a child 😢😢 creep
Does anyone else think that he was just making the utmost cocky move? Knowing they can do nothing really to him and he stays just under the radar taking it as far bogus wise as possible? I get the sense this was just a sick way for him to flaunt his "smarts" for his own amusement.
Yeah, I think he was bored...or maybe wanted to branch out into representing child molesters and thought this would be like free advertising for his awesome skills.
The feds still classify weed as a schedule 1 drug, as dangerous as Heroin and more dangerous than cocaine. That's a result of big pharma who can make money of opiates and coca products but not off weed, that's why they bribed legislators and got the laws written this way.
It's crazy how the kids speak in a way that you know they aren't lying. They don't speak like children while explaining what happened to them. So insane
I have a feeling that he was so calm and happy acting because he already knew that they couldn't really do anything to him, he IS a lawyer after all... Our laws are ridiculous.
Just the simple fact that pedophiles feel safe enough to now openly admit to being attracted to children shows just how far modern day society has fallen from grace. And to think about how there are whole groups of people out there trying to normalize pedophilia by naming it "Minor Attracted Person" is terrifying
the fact that he was luring her to a boat makes it even more terrifying. those employees not only saved the kid from sexual trauma, but also from most likely being murdered and never found.
The fact that "Child Enticement" is only a misdemeanor in Idaho (and is only charged under certain circumstances) is the most disturbing thing in this entire video.
And don't forget....Idaho is that state with strict abortion laws...and want to prevent people from leaving the state....almost like they WANT more victims to abuse. Fuck that state.
@@morph-the-cat Of course., nearly everyone is. If you do not know that, it is because you do not make the difference being attracted and being "sexually attracted", which is a really different matter. That means something is wrong in YOUR social behavior and understanding. Stay away from kids.
I agree. I am bipolar just as he claims he is, and mania/hypomania or even a full-blown psychotic episode can make you do CRAZY things that are completely sporadic, dangerous, and out of ones normal nature. I'm not excusing what he did, and the punishment was laughingly weak. No kid deserves to be in this type of situation, but I also think that if he isn't in control or well, he needs major help as an inpatient. I also don't think he should be practising law with bipolar disorder and being un-medicated, and after this, if he still has a client base to work with, should remove himself from family law scenarios entirely.
People can have mental illness and not be creeps. They're two separate things honestly. Like yes I agree something is not right with people who prey on children but there's more to it than mental illness
@@JaefarSABNW Thats not how it works. You cant blame any action on mental illness, because the individuals actions are how we determine if they are mentally ill.
He's bipolar. Guy is probably in full-blown psychosis. Doesn't seem to know what he's saying or can make up his mind about what is happening. This doesn't defend his actions though. He clearly has some issues with kids and should be watched closely.
I was gonna say there's no way he's an attorney, he would know better. But then he only spent one day in jail for a non-sexual crime, even with video of the crime, statement from the crying victim, and a full-blown admission to being a predator. Apparently I didn't give him enough credit...
Watching stuff like this is scary AF. Horrifying. Thank God that the boy knew what to do and how to protect his little brother. And a huge thank you to those workers who immediately acted to keep those kids safe. This illustrates perfectly how you can seemingly be in a very safe place but yet evil is hiding in plain sight.
A charge is not a conviction, and was dropped anyway, so legally speaking, the guy is innocent. At best, this is an extremely flimsy ground to revoke a law license.
Some Americans have called me names when I told them that when I was nineteen years old, I lived together and was engaged to my sixteen-year-old girlfriend.
My young neighbor was 16 yo when he met his 13 yo wife. They married (in Romania) when she was 14. Now they have 4 kids. Everything looks fine for them, after 15 years of marriage.
I praise the young mans parents for teaching him to seek help. All parents should have this discussion with their children about strangers 😕 this could have ended a lot worse 😢
Where the heck were the parents!!???? They almost lost their kids! I think that is ridiculous and i hope they have learned a very valuable lesson!!! about watching your children and staying with them wherever you are. I have 4 children and i never ever! let my guard down! No matter if im at their school for an award ceremony, a park with them, grocery store, at home Etc! You never know! When someone will take the opportunity to act and do the unthinkable. Keep an eye on your kids always! Dont make the mistake of "ill just leave them this one time, well i go do this or that" those one time events lead to tragedy more than you would think.
This is his job. He does it very well and never broke any law. I am surprised he had finally to pay a small fine. Probably just to keep police spirits high.
I grew up in the CDA area. It's a beautiful place but it seems like lots of predators roam the area in the summer because there are so many women and kids there, swimming at the lake.
Idaho law is bizarre. First, that first offense child enticement isn't a felony. Second, that the police can't immediately arrest someone for a misdemeanor if they didn't witness it. For example, you get punched in the face. Your attacker can't be arrested until a magistrate gets the paperwork and issues a warrant.
@@claricelyles8398 It seems that all the police can do is get the witness statements and present them to the magistrate for a determination of probable cause. I don't know how Idaho treats videos.
SHOUT OUT TO THAT SHOP OWNER!! That dude called the cops without scaring off the predator. Thank God! EDIT: He was booked for ONE DAY?! Wtf. Yet my husband is facing 9.5 years for drug charges?! The Justice system is FUCKED.
The young girl’s recap was absolutely heartbreaking. Because you know there are young kids who don’t make it out. And they are just as terrified and alone. God help them. Unbelievably shocking….
In my experience lawyers exploit and manipulate laws - they don’t respect them. No one knows better than an attorney that laws are not evenly applied across all classes.
