It sounds like some fathers should have taken this boy out to a secluded place and had their way with him, and I don't mean sexually.

While Kreighton Elwood was originally charged with sexual abuse and kidnapping, he ended up pleading guilty in September to lesser charges of assault and false imprisonment.

Yeah, this is a big problem. A VERY BIG PROBLEM!!!

14 days

Wow.

[copwife]

I find it interesting that it was mentioned several times in the article that the town was very conservative. Would that have happened if it were a very liberal town? I think not!

Would that have happened if it were a very liberal town?

Probably not... he would have been given a contract to write some Common Core textbooks. /s

He would have been castrated by feminists instead of the fathers of the girls, I suppose.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Yeah, 14 days. At least six felonies. And who knows how many others were not reported? Closer to 20-30 years and lifetime sex offender status, but what do I know?

[ealgeone]

I’d be willing to be you will find he has been viewing a lot of S&M type porn as well.

[Steely Tom]

This one is worth keeping an eye on.

I guess school superintendents don’t have party affiliations.

I like they way many of the on-line stories about this case mention that the town of Treynor IA is “conservative.”

Kind of like when they describe the mullahs of Iran as “conservative,” or Hitler as a “right-wing dictator.”

Yep.... I call it a hunting accident. Sorry officer... i thought he was a deer...

I grew up in Iowa and it was a decent place. So many of the people I knew there now are ultra liberal.

They’ve bought into the homosexual and other extreme agendas.

Its kinda of sad.

[BBell]

I grew up in Nebraska for 8 years and back then there was little difference between Iowa and Nebraska. Times have changed.

[Repeat Offender]

He spent just 14 days in jail and has to register as a sex offender for 10 years.

Hopefully, he won't live to see 6 months.

[NEMDF]

Yes, that is very true about Iowa and Bebraska not being so similar in current times.

OTOH, I am not sure it is fair or appropriate for members of the community to be seeking resignation of the superintendent without any allegations having been made against him. It IS possible that he had no knowledge of his son’s bad acts.

“Hunting accident” when/where I grew up. Usually provided by the boy’s less-than-proud father.

It was usually pheasant season while crossing a fence. That ‘first pheasant’ hunt was more of a rite of passage than we ever knew.

[longfellow]

No they would call it Saturday night.

Gads, the kid is a sexual predator. I can’t imagine, even if his daddy was the #1 good ol’ boy in town, why he didn’t get charged with felonies.

I bet he’ll be even more fun to have in town in a few more years, now that he’s gotten away with rape not once but three times.
