Teacher charged with sex crimes hospitalized after suicide try
Associated Press - September 16, 2007 3:35 PM ET

BRADFORD, Vt. (AP) - Vermont state police say a sixth-grade teacher from Bradford has been charged with multiple felony sex crimes against a child.

Police say 51-year-old Richard Foster -- a teacher at the Bradford Elementary School as of Friday -- was hospitalized today after a suicide attempt.

Police say their investigation began Friday evening after they were informed of a report by a juvenile who formerly lived in Vermont to a police department in Florida.

Police say searches at Foster's home and the school turned up evidence. Foster is facing several felony charges.

They include mutiple counts of aggravated sexual assault on a minor; lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor; possession of child pornography; use of a child in a sexual performance; and luring a child for sexual exploitation.

I, for one, wish him much success on his next attempt.

Multiple sex felonies or whatever and they give him bail. Past time to start identifying these Judges and more to the point; their Liberalism or whatever persuasion. And start demanding accountability from them. . .or from those who appoint them; as the case may be. . .

I’m surprised these actions would be a crime in Vermont. Maybe the governor should consider establishing a State Office for Liaison with NAMBLA in order to prevent future misunderstandings like this obviously is. Children in VT should just be advised they are there to satisfy the urges of the pervs, accept it and move on.

(please note sarcasm)

Time to get O’Reilly on the case. He’s got the book on these Vermont perverts and the judges who set them free to prey on others.

Someone should have held the hammer so he could have beat his head in.

Am I wrong to wonder why the sex of the minor is not indicated?

In fact, the Boston Glob story goes out of it’s way to obscure this issue, quoting the police as follows: “The juvenile subject had disclosed multiple incidents of sexual contact on him/her,” allegedly by Foster.

I suspect that this is a gay sex crime, and they want to cover that aspect up.

Or, if need be, help him succeed.

O'Reilly does take these things on. But more needs to be done. This Libs need to be called out at every turn.

The Libs are obsessed - so their story line goes - about the safety of Iraquis; 'the women'. . .the 'children'. Why cannot they care as much or at least, pretend as much; that they care for our children - daughters and sons - here at home; America's rising, 'young, younger and youngest' generation?

Just stop the fricken madness here; of Liberal favortism for criminals and perverts.

Find a 'Blue city'; run by Demrats; how much safer is life in 'their' city?

Way too many kids are losing their birthdays in our Country; thanks most often, to the penchant of Liberals to pervert 'Reason' - as it applies to Justice; and for that matter; any virtue one might think of. . .

(We all know as well, that America's children may not be so safe in their schools. The threat; not from 'terrorists'. . .but rather, from their teachers. How many pathetic and perverted teachers can make the news in a month? Could we just get these kids home from school safely? - Ask a Lib - or challenge one to care. . .)
