Dateline Dayton – I am madder than …. July, the hottest month ever recorded on earth.
Jared Fogle, the former spokesperson for Subway, is agreeing to plead guilty to charges of having sex with minors as well as receiving and distributing child pornography.
Here is a guy who, after college, went on to what was probably a million-dollar job promoting Subway and a healthy lifestyle, only to be a pervert himself. How sick does a person have to be to seek out sex with little girls? To enjoy pictures of them being violated and then distributing them?
I don’t understand why, if authorities knew about Fogle’s interest in little girls years ago, something was not done long ago? Just another case of hands being tied? Or fwas it a followup slipping through the cracks?
Fogle was in Dayton not long ago promoting a healthy eating lifestyle. I hope his sponsors kept a close eye on him and no children were harmed.
I see his wife, No. 2, is divorcing him, supposedly to protect the children. Maybe she will take him for all that he will have left.
If the Fogle situation isn’t enough, on the local news this week, I heard where two men in the Dayton area are being charged with having sex with underage girls. A lot of sick persons in this world. Even the U.S. Army doesn’t take the situation seriously.
An Army officer reportedly is being discharged for attacking a police officer trained by the Army. He raped a child and beat up the mother for reporting the incident.
Since it has been on the national news, you probably heard about the young Ohio mother who killed three of her children. It raises the question whether anyone is looking after the children of the world. Children’s Services and the prosecutor both claimed they had done everything they could. Then there was the judge who allowed the last child to be placed back in the care of his mother, only to be killed. The judge probably will have an excuse. Time for courage to get a knife, cut the rope that ties them and then use the knife to cut through the red tape that doesn’t allow a child to be protected from abuse, rape and death. We must demand action now.
I still believe in requiring a license to have children. Perhaps we should add mental testing.
Football Season
Quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots, the owner, the coaches and the players association are making a mockery out of the NFL. I didn’t have much respect for professional sports at the outset. the NFL should drop the Patriots from the league. The NFL has enough problems dealing with individual players, much less a defiant team.
Among good sports happenings. Monday evening Pauline and I attended our granddaughter’s first regular high school soccer game. Julia plays on the junior varsity team for Carroll High in Dayton. She enjoyed an outstanding game, playing different positions and scoring one of their five goals. Julia has matured as an athlete and a young lady, coming out of her shyness. Coaches must recognize her talent given the amount of playing time she gets when there are 20 girls on the team. Carroll won 5-0..
Later that night, our daughter from Michigan arrived for the week, along with her two daughters, Heather and Emily. Being that our son Chris lives in the same condo project we do, the two girls are staying at his place and Darlene is at our house.
