Rapist picks up two schoolchildren in the rain

[Carey]

Chuckster, No "State" pays for school buses, as that is a school district item...
I have lived in 7 different school districts in my life (6 in Illinois & here), all had some rider fees involved, & an ID card for the riders (even over 50 years ago)

One of the problems I heard from parents when I was Sub teaching here is that, though the per ride fee is fairly low, there is a lump sum that needs to be paid, & many families that have enough income to not-qualify for the free rides, have a hard time coming up with that.... & so they drive & sit in traffic & at the school, usually at a far greater cost per day.... It would be nice if there was a way that would work here for time-payments, but I am sure there would be many problems... including how to stabilize the ride schedule...
The school bus system cannot be expected to have a week by week variance on the routes (if you were here when the HeleOn bus was free to all & then free for school children, there were days & routes that would be packed one school day & pretty empty another... (Yes, I rode it most every day, before, during & after the fare changes))

This POS needs to go away for a long time. I have NO sympathy for those who prey on the kids or the elderly.

Agreed, 100%. POS. This system over here needs a complete overhaul! Mitch Roth, et al., please get a handle on this kind of crime, immediately, if not sooner.

JMO.

This one deserves a major sentence enhancement for "teaching" the second child.

Any others coming forward now that this guy has been caught? This guy looks and acts smooth, he may have done this preying before. jmo

charged Patrick Noah Torres of P#257;hoa with two counts of misdemeanor custodial interference, two counts of petty misdemeanor prohibitions involving minors (liquor), seven counts of Class C felony sexual assault and two counts of Class A felony sexual assault. His bail was set at $35,500.


only 35.5K?????? Wow, if I were the judge, I'd be setting bail for at least a million dollars. Guy is probably a flight risk. If I were facing those charges, I'd be looking for the next plane out to X and run for the boarder.

Apparently out on bail now. The system is not really working, here.

[Chunkster]

Does the system here ever work the way it should?

[Punatic007]

He's out on bail? That's amazing and disturbing. I wonder how old are the child victims? At this point every parent needs to keep a close eye on their kids and schools need to warn kids not to get in vehicles with strangers ever but especially be on the lookout now. Geez.

Epic Fail on part of the injustice system.
The bail should have been set higher.
This scum-sack is out the next day? What?!!
Somebody please give him some dirty lickins' PLEASE if U see him.
