Unlawful neglect of a child is a felony charge in South Carolina. It can be punished by up to 10 years in prison.

Updated November 06, 2022

An Horry County elementary school principal was arrested this week after police determined she failed to properly report suspected child abuse as part of a law designed to catch potential abuses as early as possible.

Rebecca Schroyer, principal of Ocean Bay Elementary, is facing two counts of failing to report child abuse of neglect, as defined by South Carolina’s mandated reporter law.  The misdemeanor charges each carry a penalty of up to six months in prison and/or a $500 fine.  She was placed on administrative leave Tuesday.

Schroyer’s arrest came in conjunction with charges against special education teacher Grace McColgan, who was accused of unlawful conduct toward children related to multiple occasions during the current and past school year.

Attorney Morgan Martin, who is representing Schroyer, described the charges against his client as an “overreach” by law enforcement because he believes the principal was “vigilant” in her actions, and didn’t violate the law.  He didn’t say what actions Schroyer took, and the warrants for her arrest don’t offer many details either.

Each failure to report charge stems from alleged incidents of abuse in February, when McColgan placed hand sanitizer in a child’s open wound and hit a child back after the child hit her, the warrants state.  The reports do not detail how police determined Schroyer knew about these abuses or whether she did anything with that information.

The Horry County Police Department arrested an elementary school teacher and a principal Wednesday morning.

Rebecca Schroyer, 47, who is the principal at Ocean Bay Elementary School, is accused of two counts of failing to report a child neglect allegation for an incident that happened during the 2021-22 school year.

The alleged incident, which happened in February, involved a teacher “putting hand sanitizer in a child’s open wound,” an arrest warrant states.

Schroyer, employed with the district since 2001, was placed on administrative leave on Tuesday pending the investigation.  At the Wednesday bond hearing, Schroyer was given a  $10,000 bond and released.

Grace McColgan, 60, a special education teacher at Ocean Bay Elementary, was charged with six counts of unlawful conduct towards a child, stemming from the 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years, according to an arrest warrant.

According to a redacted witness statement, McColgan smacked three male students with an open hand on two separate occasions after the students would not get their heads off the table.  These incidents happened in late September.

There were always three adults in the room with McColgan, according to the incident reports.  She was placed on administrative leave October 11.

McColgan was given a $60,000 bond on Wednesday.

Mark Porter, executive director for elementary schools, will oversee Ocean Bay elementary school for the time being, according to Lisa Bourcier, the Horry County schools spokesperson.

A bond hearing for both McColgan and Schroyer is scheduled for 3 p.m. Wednesday.  No bail has been set.

BOY FOUND DEAD IN SUITCASE IN INDIANA IDED; MOM AND ANOTHER WOMAN CHARGED

CHICAGO, IL  –  A boy found dead inside a suitcase in southern Indiana six months ago has been identified as a 5-year-old from Atlanta, and his mother and another woman are facing charges in his death.

.jpg photo of Child found stuffed in a suitcase.Cairo Ammar Jordan’s body was found on April 16 in Washington County, Indiana, near Louisville.

Indiana State Police said the boy had never been reported missing, slowing the investigation of the case.

His mother, 37-year-old Dejaune Ludie Anderson, of Atlanta, is wanted on an arrest warrant on a murder charge.  She also is charged with neglect of a dependent and obstruction of justice.

An autopsy found that the boy died from an electrolyte imbalance most likely due to gastroenteritis, or vomiting and diarrhea that led to dehydration, state police said in May. Investigators said the boy had died within a week prior to his body’s discovery.

“No matter what progress is made, what happens in the case, we’re still dealing with the tragic death of a precious young child,” Indiana State Police Sgt. Carey Huls said.

Huls said Anderson remains at large, and police are seeking the public’s help in finding her.  He said Anderson has traveled to numerous locations, including Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco since police began their investigation last spring after her son’s body was found.

Huls said “the physical evidence led to the suspects” in Jordan’s death.

Another woman, 40-year-old Dawn Elaine Coleman, of Shreveport, Louisiana, also is facing neglect and obstruction charges.  She was arrested on Oct. 19 in San Francisco.

Cairo was buried in June at a Salem, Indiana, cemetery about 35 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky, after a memorial service where a police chaplain called the then-unidentified child an “unknown angel.”

Cairo Jordan had a very Good Father who Loved and cared for him very much!

Huls said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation assisted Indiana authorities in contacting Jordan’s father after investigators confirmed the boy’s identity.

According to a probable cause affidavit filed Oct. 14 seeking the arrest warrant against Coleman, investigators found both Coleman’s and Anderson’s fingerprints on black plastic bags the boy’s body had been placed inside within the suitcase .

The affidavit contains posts that Anderson allegedly made on her Facebook account, including posts on April 11 after she was released from jail in Louisville, Kentucky, on a shoplifting charge.  In those posts, made using a vanity name, Anderson wrote: “Just got out of a jail mission” and “Yes had to do some healing and killing,” the affidavit states.

A series of earlier Facebook posts Anderson allegedly made discuss exorcism, spells and other supernatural topics, with one posted on Feb. 19 mentioning “a very powerful demonic force from within my son,” according to the affidavit.

Online court documents do not list an attorney who could speak on behalf of Coleman, who is expected to be transported to Indiana within about a month, Huls said.

Indiana’s online court records do not reflect a murder charge against Anderson, and it is unclear if she has an attorney who could speak on her behalf.

The Washington County Prosecutor’s office declined Wednesday to discuss the status of the murder charge against Anderson.

Huls said the prosecutor’s office obtained an arrest warrant on a murder charge for Anderson from a judge Tuesday based on an affidavit that would be released once Anderson is in custody.

TEXAS AG URGES PROSECUTION OVER TOUTED ‘CHILD-FRIENDLY’ PORNOGRAPHIC DRAG SHOW

ATTENTION!!!!  ADULT ONLY MATERIAL!!!!  NO CHILDREN ALLOWED!!!!

Frankly, governments should be prosecuting each and every one of these drag queens who are engaging children, period.  The urging of the attorney general in Texas to prosecute a lewd display by a perverted man dressing as a woman and performing in front of children is a bit weak, if you ask me.  There should simply be prosecution.  However, we’ll see if the people can put enough feet to the fire to get it done and then get on a roll to deal with other perverts in the state as well.

Zero Hedge has the story.

Following what’s probably the single most horrifying and egregious example of a so-called “child friendly drag show” that we’ve ever seen, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has called for legal prosecution against those involved.

The event took place on Saturday in Plano, Texas – a large suburb of Dallas (of all places) – and involved a drag performer simulating a sex act in front of children at what the venue dubbed an “all ages” show.

“This is grotesque, disturbing behavior.  Under Texas law, local district and county attorneys are charged with taking up the mantle to protect Texas kids by prosecuting these types of totally inappropriate acts,” Paxton was quoted as saying after viewing disturbing footage of the event.

I attended another all ages drag brunch in Plano, TX over the weekend and the footage I have is shocking.

“My p###y good, p###y sweet
P###y good enough to eat…f### me all night”

It gets worse. More footage to come.   We WILL stop this. 🚨 pic.twitter.com/xVghUT0ORb

The performer can be seen going up to a small child, while adults in the background cheered the person on with dollar bills being waved, at which point the performer “flashed underwear in front of children” – as Daily Caller described.

At least one young girl could be seen with a confused and disturbed look on her face.  The dancer twerked to a song that had the lyrics, “My p###y good, p###y sweet. P###y good enough to eat” and “F### me all night”…

AG Paxton also urged greater legal protections for children in response: “What’s more, in 2023, the Texas Legislature should amend the Texas Penal Code to expressly prohibit this kind of grossly sexual conduct and empower my Office to prosecute when district and county attorneys refuse,” he said.

Journalist Sara Gonzales of BlazeTV captured the video content, which has since gone viral and driven outrage:

“This is something that was overtly sexual,” she said.  “And now apparently the left is gaslighting me into thinking that I’m somehow the crazy one for having a problem with this.”

An advertisement for an upcoming drag show said minors were allowed to attend with an accompanying parent or guardian, “Tucker Carlson Tonight” reported.

In further footage of the event, a little girl can be seen encouraged by the crowd to “tip” a drag dancer with dollar bills…

The restaurant and bar that hosted the event has boasted there will be more:  “Following the October 15 event, Ebb & Flow’s Drag Brunch will take place on a monthly basis with dates to be announced soon,” an event page cited by Fox News indicated.

It’s as yet unclear whether the Plano Police or prosecutor will move forward with either an investigation or arrests;  however, AG Paxton’s statements are sure to draw increased scrutiny and pressure on the venue that hosted the drag event.  Ebb & Flow in a statement given to the Dallas Morning News sought to defend what happened as “very tasteful”.

Many observers have pointed out that typically bars offering sexually explicit shows maintain a strict 21 and over age policy, and yet examples abound lately of “LGBTQ-friendly” events actively targeting minors and young children.

Pardon me, but isn’t his job to see that prosecution takes place when the law has been violated? C’mon, Paxton! Do you duty, man!

Mason Greenwood: Manchester United forward charged with attempted rape

Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has been charged with attempted rape by the Crown Prosecution Service.

The footballer has also been charged with engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS North West Janet Potter said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Mason Greenwood, 21, with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

“All three counts relate to the same complainant.

“Specialist rape prosecutors from CPS North West’s complex casework unit authorised the charges following a review of a file of evidence received from Greater Manchester Police.

“The defendant’s first court appearance will take place on October 17 at Greater Manchester Magistrates’ Court.

“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has a right to a fair trial.

“It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice those proceedings.”

United responded to the news with a statement regarding the development, saying: “Manchester United notes that criminal charges have been brought against Mason Greenwood by the Crown Prosecution Service. He remains suspended by the club, pending the outcome of the judicial process.”

The BBC reported earlier in the day that Greenwood had been arrested for allegedly breaching bail conditions.

A statement from the Greater Manchester Police said they were “aware of an allegation regarding a 21-year-old man breaching his bail conditions and an arrest has been made on Saturday”.

The one-time England international was first arrested in January on suspicion of rape and assault.

The allegations led United to quickly suspend the forward until further notice at the start of the year.

He was also removed from EA Sports’ FIFA game, while Nike ended their sponsorship deal with him.

Greenwood came through the youth sector at Old Trafford and made 129 appearances for the first team before his suspension, scoring 35 goals.
