Powerful

carmencita

I find it amazing and powerful too. For so many to come out now after all that time. Too bad there is not a man on the street journalist that will stand out there and report. We do not have real journalists anymore. I am waiting to see where this goes. I hope it is fully investigated. No stone unturned.

Omg

carmencita

Yeah. Amazing. I was checking the net for abuse cases and it just came up. I was floored when I saw the number. I thought, wait, there must be a mistake. No, it is for real. This could get bigger. I will keep checking.

So sad Good for them speaking up

carmencita

I know. If this was not so sad I would laugh at the teacher thinking that just because he is a grandfather we will be fooled. HA. Not after the HW case. People are paying attention now. There is more and more everyday and it is getting play on TV.

I'm an Evanston resident so if anyone needs a ground soldier on this story or with reaching out to locals, please PM me. I would be glad to help especially considering it is the first time I've seen something on /v/pizzgate be pertinent to my hometown.

And I'm a few towns north. Wow! Same thing happened not too long ago with a former teacher from Lake Forest, but not 50!!!

This is a sad case. I have no proof, but the first thing that entered my mind is a case like Dennis Hastert or Penn State. Why did the School not do anything when they knew what the drama teacher was doing? Was there a special reason? Idk, maybe it is just him alone, but either way it is a disgusting story and I am glad these boys had the courage to come forward after all these years. They will not get monetary compensation, but satisfaction and justice are worth so much more, imo. I am going to check on the story as it proceeds, if you find anything that is not in the news on the internet, let me know. I find it rather refreshing that they were inspired by the Weinstein sex abuse case.

The student who alleged on Facebook that Siewerth sexually abused him in the 1980s said he posted those comments on the social media site after hearing about the allegations of sexual misconduct against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. I BET School Officials are Shaking in their Boots. As well they should be. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Keep posting, Keep tweeting, don't let this die. They will keep coming forward.

Evanston police on Oct. 12 confirmed they were investigating the allegations after being contacted by school officials following the Facebook post. Since then, police said they have received dozens of calls from former students reporting abuse by the teacher. Evanston police communications coordinator Perry Polinski said Wednesday the investigation remains active and about 50 individuals have contacted investigators with information. THIS is Pedophilia, These were HS Students. He denies it, because pray tell, of course, he is a 77 yr. old grandfather. Really? 50 Students are lying? Perhaps Bruce is lying.

What state

carmencita

Evanston, Illinois. Hastert's State.

Yep I thought so Evanston is north of Chicago Born and raised

carmencita

Wow. There must be plenty of gossip and buzzing in Evanston. I think it is going to have to hit the National News because it is a big case. They may cause other students to come forward from other Schools. I sure hope so.
