When are we gonna start executing these people?   Ain't it about time?!  We call the exterminator when we see too many bugs crawling around; we have too many child abusers and molesters polluting our society.... we need to start the "Extermination Process" about now cause it is only going to  get worse.

Jury:
This is a poor excuse of a man, although Veronica thinks its ok to tickle.

 
So now I am an apologist for child molestation because you didn't like that I disagreed with your "all kids are assholes" stance and pointed out that you shouldn't call people stupid when you can't even properly spell your ad hominem attacks. 

Jesus, you are thin-skinned in the extreme.

I didn't trust that  smile before I read the story. Anybody here  fall head over heels for that mess?

Why does  all this happen in Florida?

He was convicted in 1999?  Why wasn't this child rapist still in jail?  I can't imagine my mechanic offering babysitting services to my children.  Even if he's not registered sex offender he'e still be on the sex offender list ... at least in my state.  I'm nosy and I like to check this thing.  When I was still dating I use to make sure the guy wasn't on there.  If I had a babysitter I didn't know personally beforehand I'd look them up too.

SOR lists are made public so the public will use them.  Obviously not a fail safe as this and many other pedos evade compliance, however, it IS the parent's responsibility to do their due dilligence when hiring a babysitter.  I fault the mother for putting her needs before her child's whether the needs be sexual or simply not being bothered to make other arrangements.  Using a boyfriend as a babysitter because its easy is not an excuse.  What did she do for a babysitter before he came along?  I am not sexist to say no men are good babysitters- I would think the same of a female I just met.  The dynamics would be different though since Im hetero, I guess...We dont know how long the relationship was between the adults- 3 months is surely not reasonably enough time to leave your child alone with someone you just started dating.  WTF???  I do credit the mom with listening to her child and following through, instead of ignoring her.  Hopefully they will both get help through this crisis and follow through with prosecution.  When will the courts realize pedos cant be fixed???

exactly…mom was way too trusting…sorry but the minute a man expressed a desire to babysit my kid, red flags would go up…in this day and age you have to be suspicious

You are assuming he did express such a desire. Maybe he was shagging the mother and so around the house a lot and one day she knew she needed to go to work and she asked him to look after the child because for some reason she wasn't going to school that day.

Sexual predators are very good at manipulating themselves into positions where opportunities arise without them ever having to do anything as crass as ask......

CassieMomma: Yes Athena, I do blame this on the Mother.  It is your responsibility as a parent to protect your children.  Do some research, call references, whatever.  You’re oh so trusting and this only happens once in a while and what are the chances……well you don’t take chances as a parent because shit like this could happen.  This isn’t about being paranoid, the guy was convicted, check a registry for goodness sake.

God that was annoying….I couldn’t even get through the post! (I meant the poster with the z’s, sorry if I wasn’t clear.)

I know, right? Back when I was in FBLA in high school, the one thing they absolutely beat into our heads was, "Presentation. Is. EVERYTHING." You can be as right as the day is long, but you will be discredited before you can even make your point if you don't respect the audience by presenting yourself cleanly and intelligently. And, me? I'd rather be persuasive than "make a statement" anyday. My persuasiveness can BE my statement.

Kids these days...Gawd. :P

buggysmommy:
I think maybe if it is family, you can ease your fears.  I guess I more so feel like if it is someone who fixed your car, and you would hardly know him-wierd to have a seemingly normal dude want to babysit.  Most seemingly normal dudes this guys age would rather watch a game, or drink some brews after work-not go babysit a little girl that they have no obligations to.

Yes, I would be creeped out too. But not because it's a man, more because it's my mechanic! lol

ecvmanzo:
This is a sad situation. I just wonder how he made a leap from mechanic to babysitter. I strongly doubt that he just asked if he could babysit that alone would have been too suspicious. I too feel that this mom developed a relationship with this turd.
Now to assume that men can not babysit is absurd. My brother in laws have babysat for my husband and I several times. Not once have they ever hurt one of our children. We see men and WOMEN assualting kids. 
Someone posted in one of the other stories, I believe it was Sandra Cantu’s story, that people would not feel threatened or weirded out if a woman approaches and comments on your child. But if a man, with no ill intentions, approaches a you to comment on your child, you would run for the hills. That is just wrong.
That is just my opinion!

Morbid:
Never feel you have to add that fact to the end of your comments. Any of you.

Point taken. I just did not want to start an argument...LOL

Athena:
Hear, hear.
Even if I speak harshly, I respect all opinions that aren’t blatantly bigoted or use the letter “z” constantly and inappropriately.

I agree ecvmanzo, let's not be sexist, just aware.

Sick Fucker!

Fucked up system!

Dumb ass mother! Should have raised an eyebrow to any dude that was willing to or wanted to babysit. Furthermore, why the fuck would she leave her kid with some fucker that she just met-and they were'nt even fucking! Well presumably they were not fucking...

I totally agree this guy is the bad guy here, what he did was disgusting and he should be punished.  I am also not saying the mother should lose her child or anything like that, but unfortunately she ultimately failed her child by not taking the proper steps.......in my opinion.  Hopefully she has learned from this and can help her daughter move forward.

You're assuming this guy gave her the proper name, even. Furthermore, Michael Alderman is a REALLY common name, even if you know the middle initial. Not everyone is net savvy enough to track this guy down specifically.

Look, I'm not entirely absolving the mother of responsibility. Ideally, a parent asks for references and performs background checks. But the fact of the matter is, even if you put yourself in a position to be taken advantage of and you actually do get taken advantage of, it's still the fault of the person taking advantage.

The mother did EVERYTHING right once she caught wind of the situation. There are more appropriate places to focus the anger.

So Jaded:
Really, men aren’t babysitters. If a grown man offered to babysit my children, I would have to wonder about his true intentions. Not paranoid, just realistic.

 
I would have never left my children alone with a grown man other than their father period.  Even my own father, who loves my children immensely, was not into watching children.  He would have done it had I asked, but it would have been a huge imposition.
 
Alderman's a puke and mom's a dolt for leaving the kid with him.  I hope he gets his in prison.

What the hell is wrong with you people? How is this playing out in your minds? Do you think this man walked up to the child's mother after doing some repair work and said, "Hey, I see you've got a young daughter, there. Mind if I babysit?"

Like Dakota alluded to, it's likely mom had some sort of relationship going with the guy. Perhaps they met as a result of mechanic work, but you don't transition from mechanic to babysitter without some in-between.

We've all trusted people we shouldn't have at one time or anything, even my hyper-skeptical ass. To blame this on the mother strikes me as particularly insensitive. You then pile on some sexist overtones, and you've got yourselves one excessively judgmental bitty fest.

This MAN molested and threatened this child, but all you guys want to talk about is mom's responsibility for the situation? Weak.

Exactly!  It would be a huge red flag.

With his record how in the fuk is this dude even alowed near a child,WTF is this world comimg too!!!!!!

Dakota Valkyrie: I’m sure he was  “fixing” something for mom beyond her car.   Too bad her common sense didn’t kick in sooner.

I think you've got Mom pegged, she wanted him around when she got home
