Earlier
this week, Mark Berndt, an LA County school teacher who worked at
Miramonte Elementary School for 32 years was arrested and charged with
committing lewd acts on 23 children ages 6 to 10 between 2005 and 2010.
His bond was set at 23 million and he could face life in prison if
convicted. Another teacher, Martin Springer, who worked at the same
elementary school, Miramonte Elementary, was arrested on Friday for
fondling two girls in his classroom ages 7 and 8. Photos of children
blindfolded with their mouths taped have been retrieved in the Berndt
case. A 10-year-old girl claimed Berndt tried to fondle her 18 years
ago, but an arrest was never made. Two former students have surfaced
with claims of strange behaviors by Berndt since his arrest last week,
reported HuffingtonPost.com. The investigation of Berndt began in the
fall of 2010 when a film processor became suspicious about the
photographs and turned them over to investigators, who notified the
school district. Detectives had Springer under surveillance prior to
his arrest on Friday. Parents are outraged that they were not notified
of the allegations that surfaced last year, until the teachers were
recently arrested. After the news broke about Springer being arrested
on Friday, several parents took their children out of the school.
Reports
of teachers charged and sentenced in sexual abuse cases are increasing
dramatically. Most of these cases have been posted under the "Crimes
Against Humanity" Category of this website, because it is my belief that
these crimes against innocent children are crimes against humanity! The Bible says, "Because iniquity will abound, the love of many will wax cold" Matthew 24:12. Jesus was speaking of the last days and how iniquity will increase and hearts will grow cold. "Know this, that in the last days, perilous times will come. Men will be lovers of their own selves...unholy" 2 Timothy 3:1-2.
