Eric Toth, former star of the FBI's most wanted list, is finally back from Nicaragua. Since 2008, he has been on the run, after it was discovered that he was using his position as a teacher at a high profile private school in Washington, D.C. to abuse children by selling indecent images of them online in the form of child pornography. In addition to teaching at the school, he also ingratiated himself to parents in order to gain their trust and further abuse children in their homes. When his actual occupation as a kiddie porn creep was discovered and made public, quite a few people who had trusted him actually found it difficult to accept the truth and change their minds about Eric Toth.
Why is it so difficult to see logic and put it ahead of emotional responses, once the truth has been made abundantly clear? Especially when it comes to our children? Below is a video that was made before Eric Toth was found, featuring Mary Ellen O'Toole, an FBI agent who wrote the book, Dangerous Instincts. She discusses the phenomena of gut feelings run amuck, and how predators often ingratiate themselves to parents and others in order to abuse children. There will be more on that subject in future posts on this blog.
