Deport these people now!
Can you say...:
Wow, talk about racial discrimination! Unless you know that this dude is an illegal immigrant, then your comment reeks of discrimination.
And just who are "these people" that we are to deport? All those people you do not like living next door to you?
The fact is the guy was caught RED HANDED in a sting, it wasn't as if he was using "pornography" to satisfy his urges (which is wrong because then more child porn is made exploiting children). He wanted to literally have sex with an under-aged girl, he needs to be punished. He was told the girl was 13 and kept it up, THAT IS SAD! then again, how much was the 13 year old "leading him on" before the mother noticed the texting? Not to blame the child, but I am sure she isn't so innocent either in this, or he wouldn't have kept texting correct? HOWEVER, that doesn't take away the fact of Who the Adult was in the incident! I am so tired of this kind of stuff going on. They need to take 150% guilty parties of sex crimes and leave them on a deserted island to exploit each other all they want, and leave the rest of us alone. Note that, 150% sure Guilty people!
I want to know who calls my kids!! There should be no expectation of privacy when you are a kid.
accidently misdialed number???????
a girl textin' and havin' acces to a network
is so wrong in all matters.
bad thing in this stuff is the anonimity
nobody really is who they say they are.
a 13 year old so innocent and a guy that is so
guilty. c'mon people. do not believe everything you read or heard. the reality is different. all this media tryn' to sell magazines, newspapers and
parents so irresponsible.
never were a phisical contact and the police were the ones settin' up the encounter.
this is case of showin' something to keep us from seein' the reality of the inoperance of the authorities of keepin' the real bad guys behind bars
wake up!!!!
kids are to trusted and when sick people try to take advantage of kids there's no reason why mom or dad shouldnt step in. and kids shouldnt hide it. they all know what's wrong and right and when to tell mom or dad. cell phones are to common and there's to many mistakes with numbers for there not to be an incident like this. they're probably happening all the time all over. it's just plain disgusting
These perverts are so brazen. They simply don't care about who they hurt as long as they get what they want.
I also agree youth that young don't need a phone.
But just to say it is bad, I think someone is quick to judge.
P.S. I agree kids don't need cell phones.
On another note, kids don't need to text message. There are cell phones out there that allow the parent to program in a very few pertinent phone numbers (home, mom and dad cell, etc.). Beyond that, kids are just forming bad habits and wasting time -- and opening themselves up to dangerous situations.
Throw the book at child predators, no matter their legal status. I agree with utahkeith, put them all on a deserted island together, and away from our kids.
Any adult that goes after a child like this one did is a predator.
As far as those who want to put perverts on a deserted island, be prepared for some of your relatives to pack their bags. Every one's family will be affected in some way.
I support probation and treatment unless there was aggressive predatory behavior or if there was any type of sexual contact, oral or otherwise, and then I would like to see some jail time. If any of those that were give a chance to correct their lives offend again, then lock them up and throw away the key.
It's surprising they published a name and photo. There are at least a dozen instances over the past year when they have totally hidden the identity of illegal aliens committing crimes (as reported by other Utah news outlets).
A high profile case like this makes it easier for ICE agents to investigate and place an immigration hold if needed, even legal immigrants could face deportation for a felony like this. Usually, Ogden has a sanctuary policy which forbids police from inquiring about the immigration status of arrested criminals.
30-40 yr old parents are often suckers and don't know how to say NO to their kids. Then they wonder why their kids fail school, are into drugs, and promiscuous.
Blame often is on parents who place NO limits on their kids.
Who actually types the tele number when sending a text??
You have names in your phone and locate one and then send a text.
HMMMMMMMM...........
Children must be protected, but overprotecting will turn into hate. Good to see the mother and daughter are close.
Agreed. Thats why it should be just as illegal for advertising geared toward children as this is. We are barraged by sad and sick stories about sexual predators, what about the countless advertising predators? We allow them to manipulate our children every day and in every venue without a peep. Your 12 year old girl dresses like a skank? Well, don't let her, and don't let some corporation market skank clothes to her and her 7 year old cousin.
Why is the damage done by a sexual predator more harmful than the health and beauty industry, sugar cereal manufacturers, tobacco... It is far worse in some ways, and if all of these social predators were evenly compared we'd start going after the money people too. Both are soulless entities that only care about their own gain, not about the impact on a little girl or her family.
I'm not hispanic, or an illegal immigrant...However I must take issue with the racial overtones of some of these posts.
Not all hispanics are illegal or criminals. Not all illegal immigrants are involved in criminal activity.
I will agree that there are hispanics/illegals that are involved, however the same could be said of caucasians. I have with dealt with many hispanics and in my experience the majority are honest, law abiding citizens, and would never condone this kind of activity. Most paid their bills better than the caucasians that I had as clients. So lay off the race/illegal immigrant thing. It has no basis in fact.
There are lots of good, harworking families from south of the border. Their not entirely "law abiding" or they would have gone through the proper route for citizenship (Iike so many other "legal" citizens from other countries have).
We need a better system! Stop providing "sanctuary" for criminals, and provide a better system to help "good" people get citizenship. That should help reduce the identity theft problem in our country as well (perpetuated and used in great part by the "illegal" population).
A reply to "cells bad?" I'm glad you have money to burn on additional texting charges. That sounds ridiculous to me.
