On this episode, I talk about the horrific stories of those who are trutsted to care for children actually abusing them sexually. Delegate Elliott Pritt is also a public school teacher who has been arrested for sexual abuse of a student. Another educator, a Cabell County band director, has also been arrested on similar charges. And a well-known pastor/evangelist has also been arrested for abuse of a boy who he meant while he was preaching. It's been a tough week waking up to this reality. We are in a sick and depraved world! Roy Ramey is president of the WV Home Educators Association and joined me for one of my segments.
