I welcome your input.<br /><br />My opinion is that common sense says if someone appears to behave in a fashion as described in the news report vis-a-vis children, you call the police. You don't take chances. The library, on the other hand, did not call the police. Further, it appears to have been following ALA guidance not to call the police. This and related reasons, like libraries actively assisting criminals like in Holyoke, MA, claiming adherence to ALA guidance, is precisely why further investigation is warranted, and I have called for such an investigation. Not knowing he was a child molester is not good enough, to me. The library should have called the police who are best equipped to address the potential threat--an actual one in this instant case.<br /><br />As to getting girls in the bathroom, that has happened. Philadelphia and Des Moines comes to mind immediately but there are other cases. In each case, the library refused to use Internet filters as a result of ALA guidance, and viewing of material that would have been blocked but for the ALA's interference was directly involved in the crime.<br /><br />Do libraries get notified of local pedophiles? In the Philadelphia case, the perp was ejected from another Philadelphia library for similar or related behavior and even appeared on TV news showing how easy it was to get porn in the public library. But the library at that time adhered to ALA diktat. After the incident, the library finally applied filtering technology despite ALA guidance. Telling, no?<br /><br />Further, the ALA tracks each incident of anyone even complaining about inappropriate material for children, and it ridicules each and every person making such a complaint, but it does not track, to my knowledge, issues related to crimes in public libraries, etc. Heck it even advises libraries how to skirt the law and has even whitewashed rape and blamed at least one incident on the victim, a child, if I recall (New Bedford, MA). I have called on the ALA to track crimes, but it has not and it likely will not. So, in answer to your question, we'll never know..<br /><br />Thanks again for writing and I look forward to hearing from you more. The ALA has named me as its number one nemesis, and I"ll be writing about that when I get a chance, but know that your comments are being read by many people, including those at the ALA and in library schools. So please keep writing. Agree, disagree, it doesn't matter, I publish it all, unlike the ALA's OIF (Office for Intellectual Freedom).

I can understand why. If the staff did not know he was a child molester, he was probably receiving the benefit of the doubt. <br /><br />But still... That's horrifying to know that he wanted to take that little girl into the bathroom. What if it actually happened?<br /><br />Do libraries typically get notified of local pedophiles and the like, or are they left in the dark?Tori [Book Faery]https://www.blogger.com/profile/10814935817409616951noreply@blogger.com
