Lilaclady Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Anyone hear about this? Authorities found lots of p0rn material in the home of the happy scientist Robert Krampf and he is indicted in Utah. https://www.stgeorgeutah.com/news/archive/2020/09/18/cgb-police-thousands-of-child-porn-images-found-at-home-of-southern-utah-man-who-runs-popular-youtube-channel/?fbclid=IwAR33b2x3_Fv-1au6o8_PHnxGdySqRnMm_61Ffo9_MZJNYGr9YI6UsmwbHLU#.X2ZqgyRq0lR 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pen Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Yuck. Very disturbing. ☹️ We enjoyed some Happy Scientist videos back in the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 One more thing shattering my outlook on the world. FYI, he is a registered member here, so I wasn’t sure if/how to share the information within board guidelines. I used his website with my dds and pretty recently subscribed to his channel. I really believed in his work. I’m shocked, and my thoughts are with his victims. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btervet Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Ugh. This makes me so angry. We supported him and his videos and channel and recommended them constantly. This infuriates me. Especially rough after my kids favorite Ninja Warrior found guilty of similar crimes. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 We also used some of his content back in the day. There used to be a homeschool site that included access to his subscription content and we had that... I can’t even remember where it was through. That’s just despicable.

I went looking for more info after reading this- not Drew! 😣😥 My son took several classes with him years ago, and we both really liked him. He was such a good teacher, and so good with my extremely cautious kid. The 2020 hits just keep on coming. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From time to time I saw answers to a science question - like suggesting a book to use, that were helpful. Are there rules about banning people for criminal indictments?

I’ve heard of enough of these cases to be kind of sketched out when men want to work with children too much, which can’t get a good attitude, but sadly is too often evidence-based. Not so fun fact: the Canadian team leader for one of the times I went to the IMO was arrested on child porn charges many years later. I didn’t like him much and the feeling was mutual. He did, however, have two protégés he had worked with since they were kids on the same IMO team. One of them committed suicide in college for unknown reasons. Connected? No idea. Everyone was very closed about it. But I’ve sometimes wondered. I know. Most men aren't pedophiles. But men who are pedophiles can be motivated to work with children. And sexual abuse of children is mostly committed by men. Rules requiring at least two adults in a room when children are there have been implemented in many organizations such as scouts, but they aren't applied in classrooms, or in many school-connected extracurricular activities. It seems to me we need to make such a policy universal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 My kids have had male dance teachers, tumbling coaches, martial arts instructors, etc. I appreciate positive male influences in their lives and have never had cause to suspect anything ill of any of these men. But I am a bit extra vigilant and watchful, and would certainly be wary of any hint of grooming behavior. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I would not say I'm extra vigilant about male teachers, coaches, etc. But also, when it turned out that the head of my son's former theater was accused of improper conduct, dh and I were the ones who contacted the media and raised an enormous stink. And people were nasty and threatening to us about it. Because it doesn't matter how vigilant people think they're being... I'm telling you - when it goes down in a group that you're a part of, the vast majority of people immediately rush to protect the accused person because they just don't want to believe it could really have happened and they don't want to feel like they did the wrong thing by trusting their kids to the person or the institution. When all the facts came out (thank goodness for local journalism - this is why it's needed!!!) we were very much affirmed in having taken all the steps afterward that we did. And all the defenders magically disappeared and instead people thanked us and the paper that brought the whole thing to light because it was pretty bad. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when people are on the right side, we’ve learned first hand that it can get messy when an organization has a not-yet-convicted member. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
