A pastor in Bethesda is under fire for hiring a convicted sex offender to work in a nursery school despite knowing his history.
Forty families who send their children to the Bethesda Cooperative Nursery School were stunned to learn that the friendly man who fixed things around the school had once served time for possession of child pornography. The man, Travis Buffington, also lives on the grounds of the school, just feet from the playground. But that's only part of the story.
Parents were also shocked to learn that the pastor of the church is defending his actions, telling them he has no regrets for hiring Buffington. In a meeting Wednesday night, one parent described said Pastor Todd Thomas said he didn’t' see Buffington as a threat, so they shouldn't either. He told parents he has no intentions of firing Buffington, and that's a
decision that has some parents pulling their kids out of the school.
Ya think? I suppose any parent who cared about their child would pull them out of that school. I mean, why take a chance with your own child with someone who has known pedophilia tendencies!
