To me it definitely was a No. 1 priority removing a predator like this from our community," Gatchell said.

Gatchell said sex crimes can occur among people of all walks of life and at all levels of society.

I am glad to know that someone thinks protecting our innocent children is a priority.

It's too bad that the courts too often seem to feel otherwise it seems. I'll be surprised if this guy gets the punishment that should fit the crime.

I am glad to know that someone thinks protecting our innocent children is a priority because anyone who sexually assaults children is damaging our future society.

It seems because this is such an "ugly" and unbelievable crime it is hard to get victims to come forward with the information. The system needs to be available to receive the information from victims and provide them with the support they need to give the information to get a correct conviction against the predators so the can not hurt anyone ever again.

A Dauphin County man was just arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting children that is two men that have come to fruition just this WEEK here in the Susquehanna Valley.

Protecting our children should always be a #1 priority they are our future.

I get very frustrated with the system and how it does not work a lot of the time and the victims continue to be victimized. It seems like the predators have more rights than the victims. This especially gets me upset when our children should be our priority and they should be protected with actions and not just words.

I wish more people would just do the right thing.

Thanks for the welcome! For some reason the edit button is not available to me.
