It's not mentioned in this report but other sources raise doubts about his identity, looks like he took on a Jewish name and had been pretending to be one

I do not understand how the system allows placement for kids in a home already pending a sexual assault investigation. Blows my mind. Then again, this is Texas. If they barred pedos, there would be no providers.

geekonthemoon t1_jb9txic wrote
Sadly most people don't know how bad and shorthanded the foster system is. A lot of the kids aren't even in homes, they're in group homes because there arent enough families.
It's why they've been removing way less kids from homes, especially where it's like mild neglect from drug addict parents, etc, because the alternative is rarely better.

yet another sick adoption story from texas…
Wisdomlost t1_jbaa0xf wrote
The man was already facing sexual assault charges from 2019. The allegations came from a foreign exchange student who lived with him. So he's got 9 adopted children and facing a sexual assault charge against a child and still keeps his adopted children. I know it's complicated and social workers can only do so much but it's just frustrating seeing this type of thing. It seems so obvious he should not have been responsible for children while in a case about sexual assault of a child.

He’s not really Jewish, it’s all a grift. “Suspect changed name to Hayim Cohen, fabricated Jewish backstory, courted media attention and allegedly assaulted minors over years, raising questions about ignored red flags.” Posting this as it’s own comment since there is so much anti-semitism on the internet.

My God this is disgusting.
We have a 5 year old little girl. My wife became chronically ill about a year after she gave birth. Turns out it was probably the pregnancy that caused it. It’s ruined her life. She can’t work and gets fatigued very easily. Obviously more kids are off the table.
I never wanted kids until I found out she was pregnant. Even then it took some time for me to warm to it. Now I can’t imagine a day without her. I want more but making them is not an option. Adoption would be our only recourse.
I’ve always heard about how difficult, time consuming, and expensive adoption can be, but then you see stories like this. How does this sick fuck get entrusted with the lives of, not just children, but the most vulnerable children who need stable guidance from a normal adult. Not someone using it to build a damn harem. Disgusting

Off the top of my head, some things that I believe can be asked of you include:
-
Financial history
-
Extensive inspections of your home
-
Your medical history
-
Drug use (legitimate or recreational; prescriptions, alcohol, etc.)
-
Marital status
-
Interviews with your loved ones to ascertain your identity and character
-
Pretty much anything that is relevant to the adoption process.
It's understandable why they have to act like this, but it makes the adoption process very arduous. On top of all of that, adoption is "invasive" to your money (i.e. expensive as FUCK) and even after jumping every hoop you can be rejected. They can't legally discriminate against you, but they can certainly make up excuses to reject you (see: the difficulty LGBTQ+ people or people trying to adopt as a single parent face in the adoption process)

People that are guilty will often preempt any future accusations by building up a portfolio of "proof" that they're not bad so when it invariably does come down on them they can point to their past statements and say "look, that can't be true, why would I have said all these positive things if that wete true?". This is also why it seems like so many public overly vocal male feminist ends up being a sexual predeator. It's not that the actual cause isn't just, it's that they actually never cared in the first place and we're just throwing up shields to protect themselves from prosecution or guilt.

He probably did it so faith based organizations would help facilitate adoptions, bettering his access to kids.

I also suspect that he felt that he would be less likely examined if he were a religious man. This disgusting pervert knew what he was doing.

Pretending to be Jewish is a thing among some evangelical Christians. They assume a Jewish identity and then attempt to convert Jewish people to Christianity. However, I don't think this is what this man is doing. He's a grifter who used the Jewish faith to grift. Considering his social media presence, I wouldn't be surprised if he was angling for a reality show or something. There's lots of TV shows featuring big Christian families but none with big Jewish families which is what his social media is about.

Well, some of the information we do know she would have had is quite unique. Like it sounds like the boy told her how many adopted kids the man had, and that they were all boys, which surely can't match up to too many different people. She would have also known that the boy who called was turning 18 within a few days. It was quite a long call so I imagine the details she had would have been enough to narrow in on the correct person if she was able to get in touch with people with access to the right databases.

True equality between the sexes will come when we’re all in agreement, and this kind of rhetoric that any outwardly spoken man for feminism is likely to be guilty of sexual assault stops men from wanting to actually help be part of the movement.

If they make a point of constantly telling people or bringing it up just so they can show how good of an ally they are. Nobody says you can't or shouldn't defend women's rights and equality when it actually comes up, but if a dude is bringing it up a lot, it might be because they're insecure about something they've done or wish to do.

Josh Whedon is a good example. He was seen as (and leaned into) being about female empowerment since Buffy but the it came out down the line that he was often a dick on set and even called some pregnant women fat.
Dan Harmon was similar.
Max Landis evidently although I don't know of him very well.
I'm trying to remember another one a few years ago. Harmon and Whedon have been the big ones I can recently remember. Justin Roiland wasn't really a vocal feminist but I sorta think of him in a similar capacity to Harmon since they worked together but he doesn't really cunt on this list.
Some of them are undoubtedly narcissists so it would be expected from them but not all of them.
Oh, and Matt Lauer.

Ok. The way it’s worded above says nothing about volunteering information without being asked. It just says ‘overly vocal’. That can have at least two very different meanings.

Ugh that sucks so much. I'm so sorry! Please let her know that this internet stranger sends her so so so much love.

So, allegations were made in 2019 already and there was no one, who thought it is a good idea to talk with all the foster children that guy has?
I know, he was not found guilty for the 2019 allegations, but if you hort like 9 kids, have a sexual assault case in process, shouldn't that worry anyone?!

Not a celebrity, but my father ran health and safety teams for his job, organized toy drives and mitten giveaways, was the first to volunteer to train people, and looked like the perfect guy. Then he'd come home, get drunk, and beat us, lock us outside, throw our shit outside, or just throw it out if he wasn't happy. And nobody believed a damn thing. He also threatened me with legal action when I emancipated myself.

I will definitely do that. Thank you, friend. 🙂

I hope you're in a safe place now, and I'm sorry that happened to you. I believe you.

Thank you, I am, and even though it's been a while and I no longer blame myself, it's nice to hear.

So the information they matched to you was three people and a white car? I assumed it was at least something unusual, like you had 7 roommates and a tangerine car. You could probably find a house that matches those requirements on any given street. It shouldn't be legal to raid your house for that. People get killed in raids.

There really should be accountability. Even if nobody gets hurt, I imagine having that happen causes a fair bit of trauma for anyone in the house. Having your home invaded is a terrible thing.

You would hope there would be a limit to the adult to child ratio. It's scary how desperate cps is.

Which particular deities do you believe exist?

He's gay too, if you watched any of his videos where he talks. Obvious why he adopted all boys. Sickening...
Tyrell97 t1_jbmjl9s wrote
How do you know? I'll add that I just watched a video of him talking and dude is as gay as the day is long.

Very few gay men do drag... There are almost as many straight men performing in drag than there are gays.
To reiterate being a gay man =/= being a drag queen
Tyrell97 t1_jbmlpfp wrote
It's a sexual hobby. It's all about sex. I have a friend who recently came out to me as a crossdresser...and bi. It's deeply tied to his sexual satisfaction. I'll laugh if you try to say he's not gay. He wants to suck dicks and be fucked in the ass by them. He hasn't done it yet and he has a girlfriend. Only thing he says is stopping him is fear of AIDS.

Cross dressing, and performing in drag are two different and separate things.

He wants to do that too, but is scared of getting killed.

No so-called deities people believe exist are believable to me.

My first thought is 211 dot org. American based group. Very big. Hard to understand. But pretty good at social emergency issues.
