Here’s a summery of the case:

Now here’s a selection of comments by her friends and defenders that happened after someone came in and claimed the media was covering up the fact she was raped – at some point at some time. When people responded that being a rape victim doesn’t excuse you victimizing others her friends displayed the depraved immorality one expects from people who hang around child molesters.

Someone using the handle “Nellie” dropped this little nugget of wisdom:

george, how does being raped give you a free pass? being raped means you are being forced to do something against your will.. you do not know her full story NOR will they broadcast it. CANDICE IS THE VICTIM! does her clean history not help her situation?! i know candice personally and let me tell you, SHE IS NOT THAT KIND OF PERSON! Why would she go to school and work so hard to become a teacher to supposedly have sex with a minor? she could’ve done that years ago!

Yes, why would a child molester work with children? Great argument. Then “unwinding” chimes in with this excuse:

RIchard, I’m a 23 year old female, barely 5′ tall. I have no doubt some 14 year olds could physically overpower me. Tamassee DAR School takes in lots of kids with histories of extreme violence, drug/alcohol abuse and sexual activity. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if it turned out Smith was raped. It also might interest you to know that 80% of rapes go unreported. Considering that, and the fact that the kid could claim it was consensual thereby ruining her, it’s not surprising that she didn’t report it either. It is wrong to have sex with a 14-y-o. It is also wrong for a 14-y-o to rape somebody. I think we should reserve judgement until the entire case comes to light.

Of course! An evil 14-year-old was blackmailing her for sex! And she told no one because she thought being raped was preferable to being “ruined” at a group home. Makes sense.

Then “Nellie” retunred to pinch off this loaf of asininity:

George – RAPE IS RAPE. Candice was THREATENED by this monster. You don’t know the complete details. Read more closely to what?! The **** that the media is putting out? How do you know what a 14 year old is capable of? She worked at a GROUP HOME FOR TROUBLE TEENAGERS. Does that mean ANYTHING!? Come on now.

I have to agree with her on one thing. Rape is rape and Candice Smith raped a child. How disgusting do you have to be to blame troubled teens for their own victimization? Word of the street is that Candice’s friends and family are taking the Alex Jones route and running around the internet spreading rumors about a “conspiracy” etc. I’m betting the only conspiracy here will be found later when we see “Nellie” and others knew what Candice was up to all along.

Here’s an impromptu interview he did with a reporter on this situation. Notice that though he claims he can’t control his impulses he also claims that he can control impulses that would land him in prison. Not to politicize this, but you’ll also notice that after being found naked with a child size doll he was nailing in public the music teacher says it’s “unfair’ for the news to cover the story. Sounds like someone thinks that there shouldn’t be consequences to his own behavior.

I guess it would also be “unfair” to mention that on his now defunct website he claimed to work at a Montessori school who told reporters they never heard of him. That seems more like a clear scheme to pad out his resume so parents will trust him than “A.D.D.” but I’m no therapist.

The news report covering this story points out something Torroll left out. This happened on the first day of school. And Torroll seems to do all his teaching of children at his house which he calls the “Danny Torroll Skool of Music and Art” which had a website that was pulled down. Any of this sounding A.D.D. related?

From Fox Carolina:

Susan Clarke, of the Greenville County School District, said Bryson Elementary School and Golden Strip Child Development Center were locked down as a precaution because they were close to the law enforcement situation.

Matt Armstrong, of the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, said deputies were trying to serve arrest warrants to a man when he barricaded himself in the house. He said that authorities are inside the home, but the man does have weapons with him.

Hopefully the man will wise up and surrender before anyone gets hurt.

The lie has had devastating consequences as diseases once eradicated have resurfaced in America, killing children. While Whooping cough poses little threat to an adult, infants can easily die from the disease. Now it’s on the rise in South Carolina and in the coming years dozens if not hundreds of  babies will die at the hands of ignorant and uninformed parents:

The illness also known as pertussis is on the rise in South Carolina.

It seems no more perilous than a common cold at first, but whooping cough can be serious and sometimes even deadly.

In the first five months of this year, it struck twice the number of people as during the same period in the previous three years, according to the state Department of Health and Environmental Control.

Childhood vaccinations are the best prevention. But state health officials also are urging the state Legislature to make a booster shot mandatory for seventh-graders by the 2011-12 school year.

DHEC this month issued an alert to physicians around the state to expect more cases of this highly contagious respiratory disease, often marked by a high-pitched “whoop” as children struggle to catch their breath.

“It looks like a cold for about a week; then the cough starts and is so severe that kids gag themselves and vomit, and they may turn red or blue in the face,” said Dr. Robin LaCroix, director of pediatric infectious disease at Greenville Hospital System’s Children’s Hospital.

“Most cases are in children younger than 6,” she said, “and in the state of South Carolina, we’ve had two deaths in the past five years.”

A century ago, there were about 160,000 cases of pertussis and 5,000 deaths nationwide annually, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That number dropped to about 1,000 cases in the 1970s after widespread vaccination began. But by 2008, more than 13,000 cases were recorded, including 18 deaths.

[...]

And there is some evidence that more people aren’t having their children vaccinated, or spacing the vaccinations out to avoid side effects, perceived or real, he said.

“Pertussis is not one of our most effective vaccines — its efficacy is around 70 percent — so even fully immunized children can still come down with pertussis,” he said. “And until you have had the three primary series, you’re not going to be as protected as you can be.”

Pertussis doesn’t strike any one group more than others, except for the unvaccinated, he said, noting that a recent measles outbreak was linked to children who hadn’t been vaccinated.

To be fair illegal immigration has also contributed to the rise of diseases common in the third world as we see exploding populations of people who have not gone through medical screenings, but the fact is the anti-vaccine movement is a growing fad that endangers the lives of children.

Don’t get me wrong, there are concerns with our vaccine happy medical establishment. The quickly rolled out swine flu immunizations proves that there isn’t enough research being done. But parents need to use common sense and stop getting their medical advice from celebrities and Wikipedia before their child spreads a deadly disease to other children.

It looks like this case will be open and shut.

From WLTX.com:

Simpsonville, SC (WSPA/WLTX) -A Hillcrest High School student is suspended after Greenville County school officials say the student tampered with a teacher’s drink.

The incident took place September 1st in a computer class.

The teacher did not require medical attention, after she claimed a student put hand sanitizer in her drinking water.

District officials say the investigation is still ongoing, and refused to elaborate further on the story.

They say Simpsonville police are also investigating. Criminal charges could come if the teacher decides to press charges.

The student’s mother claims the daughter, who is new to the school this year, was a scapegoat for other students responsible. She says the other students used a gang mentality to label the “new girl” the culprit.

When asked if her daughter would lie about this, the mother said “no”.

It would be interesting to see if the girl is telling the truth.

Why schools have hand sanitizer in available I’ll never know. It’s basically napalm in a bottle, check this out:

For all you pervs looking for a loophole, this new law includes teachers, substitutes, bus drivers, counselors, and coaches — basically anyone in a position of authority.

And if you’re thinking 18 is legal, think again, Chester. Teachers who have sex with 18-year-old students could pay a $500 fine and do 30 days in jail on a misdemeanor charge.
