Von Metzke "groomed" underaged girls by texting
For more background and extensively documented evidence about the Board's abject failure to properly run the organization, putting children at risk, see the complaint I submitted to the Attorney General in March: http://jtoversightgroup.org/complaint-to-the-atto…— June 25, 2017 6:35 p.m.
Von Metzke "groomed" underaged girls by texting
Here is a link to JT's Employee Handbook, dated January 2014--most likely the one in effect at the time of the crimes in question. It is 55 pages long but **without a single word about mandated child abuse reporting**. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B08yz1LW0YyNZFN…— June 25, 2017 6:27 p.m.
SD Junior Theatre teacher going to prison
This is not the first time Junior Theatre has covered up allegations of child abuse. In fact, the executive director himself is facing such allegations from his own self-confessed battery on a child in the girls' dressing room. Your theme seems to be "don't jump to conclusions." Yet you have jumped to the conclusion the theater handled it properly, when people with far more knowledge than you say otherwise. I have written a 115 page complaint to the CA Attorney General detailing the Board's malfeasance in various serious controversies over the last year. (See link below.) The complaint is supported by over 500 citations to evidence and attaches 55 exhibits. Page 61, paragraph 2 specifically addresses this current situation with Eric Von Metzke. (The complaint was submitted March 15, the same day, by coincidence, that he was arrested.) Have you read it? Have you read the DA's sentencing memorandum which reveals that a teacher was alerted to the abuse on November 3, 2016, and yet the executive director did not call the police until January? You could blame the teacher, but the buck stops with the leadership of an organization, and this leadership has proven multiple times that it cannot and must not be trusted.The evidence is out there for you to examine, if you so choose. If you choose not to, I suggest you close your profile and stop commenting on this situation. http://jtoversightgroup.org/complaint-to-the-atto…— June 25, 2017 2:09 p.m.
