Almost one year ago, back in May of 2025, I told you exactly what I thought was happening with Kash Patel, Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi. Even back then, people were noticing and frustrated by the lack of any real action taken by Patel, Bongino and Bondi. And I really hoped I was wrong, but I published this article below in May 2025 predicting exactly what I thought would happen in the coming months and years. I would encourage you to read the article in full, but as a quick summary I predicted they would have great success in making arrests for things like violent crime, gang activity, stuff like that.  Kind of “low level” type crimes. But that they would do absolutely nothing in terms of all the big things we all want to see happen, namely things like the Epstein List, arrests for Treason, arrests of Democrats who framed Trump, investigations into things like Thomas Matthew Crooks, etc. You can read that full article here: MY TAKE: Dan Bongino and Kash Patel Are Compromised…and This Is The Deal They Made Well, here we are in April 2026 and my prediction could not have played out more accurately. Bongino crashed out and quit. Pam Bondi just got fired. And the last remaining part of the 3-legged stool, Kash Patel, just posted this Tweet taking a victory lap for increasing violent crime arrests over 100%: 67,000 arrests. Violent crime arrests up 100%+. 1,800 gangs dismantled. Murder and robbery rates dropping to historic lows. We put 1,000 agents back in the field, backed our cops, and went to work — because Donald Trump lets good cops be cops. Criminals are on notice. We’re not… pic.twitter.com/QqRrYkUN5S — FBI Director Kash Patel (@FBIDirectorKash) April 4, 2026 That is LITERALLY my exact prediction, and it played out to perfection. Am I happy about that? Not at all. And I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with increasing violent crime arrests by 100%. Of course that is fantastic news, I just wish it weren’t the ONLY news. I wish we could walk and chew gum at the same time. I want to see violent crime arrests up 100% AND I want to see perp walks for Treason. Sadly, I don’t think they are ever coming, at least not under Kash Patel. My original May 2025 article is below: MY TAKE: Dan Bongino and Kash Patel Are Compromised…and This Is The Deal They Made Noah here, and I wish I didn’t have to write this post, but I do.  I hope I’m wrong, but my gut is absolutely SCREAMING on this one.  Allow me to explain… Some of you are not going to like this, but I have to say what my eyes and ears see and hear, and that is that something is very, very wrong about Dan Bongino and Kash Patel. No, it’s not because I expected them to walk into the FBI and arrest everyone Day 1. It’s not because they are slow rolling (or “no” rolling?) the Epstein files, although that doesn’t help. It’s just basic common sense and body language. These two did not do themselves any favors going on Maria Bartiromo’s show on Sunday. They appeared nervous, shifty, defensive and almost gave off vibes of a hostage video. In short, their body language was awful! Eyes shifting all over the place, awkward pauses, statements that sounded extremely forced, bad body posture. You don’t need to be a body language expert to see something is very, very wrong here. Watch this clip as Dan Bongino tries (and fails) to convince people that there’s nothing abnormal at all with the Trump Assassinations, nothing to see here! To quote Dan, “there’s no there there”. Watch: Dan Bongino says there is no "big, explosive there there" with regard to the Trump assassination attempts. So either FBI officials Bongino and Kash Patel are part of a Deep State coverup, or there really is no hidden sinister truth to reveal about the Trump assassination attempts pic.twitter.com/LE0fVuUvL0 — Michael Tracey (@mtracey) May 18, 2025 Everything these two guys are saying DIRECTLY contradicts everything they both said repeatedly over the last 4 years. Something is very wrong. Are they compromised? Blackmailed? Families threatened? I’m telling you, that is 100% the vibe I’m getting. And yes, I fully understand that certain things need to remain confidential as the legal process plays out, but you really expect us to believe that “you’ve been fully briefed” and now you 100% believe there was no funny business of any kind and no Secret Service failure at all related to the Butler, PA assassination attempt? Really Dan? Back up for a second and pause to understand how absolutely LUDICROUS that sounds…. You were briefed? Oh really, by who? By the entrenched Deep State in the FBI? And you took that at face value? You were briefed by the entrenched Deep State FBI career employees loyal to James Comey, briefed with material that has almost certainly been doctored and corrupted, and you just bought it hook, line and sinker? I’m sorry, but something is very wrong here. That’s why the only conclusion I can reach right now, especially based on their terrible body language, is that these are two honest guys, two smart guys, who have in some way been compromised and/or their families threatened, and they just went on Fox News to try and sell a bill of goods that neither one of them believes in. It didn’t work. For his part, Dan has made several posts on X that demonstrate he is keenly aware of the public sentiment and essentially the fact that the community is turning on him and Kash. Here is his latest: I haven’t done any media interviews to this point because I want to keep the attention on the work. I don’t work for myself anymore, I work for you. But it is important to relay to you what we’re doing, and the media can be a tool for that. That’s why we chose a long-form… — Dan Bongino (@FBIDDBongino) May 18, 2025 I haven’t done any media interviews to this point because I want to keep the attention on the work. I don’t work for myself anymore, I work for you. But it is important to relay to you what we’re doing, and the media can be a tool for that. That’s why we chose a long-form interview with Maria Bartiromo for our first interview. I hope you saw it. If you missed it, here are some of the questions that were asked and answered: -Yes, we are moving FBI headquarters out of the Hoover Building. The process has already begun. Stay tuned for updates on the details and timelines. -I was asked about some of the details surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case. I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There’s no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise. I’m not asking you to believe me, or not. I’m telling you what exists, and what doesn’t. If new evidence surfaces I’m happy to reevaluate. -I was challenged on “accountability.” It’s a fair question. I aggressively responded because the Director and I have been working tirelessly to uncover the bad actors. We cannot get into HR specifics, and this creates an information vacuum. Unfortunately bad actors looking to tell you “a story,” not THE story, want you to believe we haven’t taken harsh and decisive action against rogue employees. That’s absolutely false. And the bad actors know it. -We were asked about FBI priorities. The Director and I told Maria that the President, the Attorney General, the Director, and I are absolutely committed to getting your FBI back to its roots. We will make your communities safer. Illegal immigration ops, child sex crimes investigations, 764 cases, and violent criminal fugitive apprehensions are all on our expanding radar. And while America is enjoying the summer we are already planning a massive operation to clean up your streets. The counter-terror and counter-intell missions are critical and will continue at our customary high-tempo too. This is what you pay us for. God bless America, and all those who defend Her. If I read between the lines, here’s what I’m seeing…. Dan and Kash are 100% compromised. I believe this is the deal that was reached (or perhaps more accurately said: imposed on them): They’ve been told certain things are off-limits, like the Epstein List will never come out.  They’ve also been given a job to white-wash the Epstein suicide and also to white-wash the Butler, PA fiasco. In exchange for those things that are off-limits, they will be allowed to do other things like shutting down the Hoover building and making a bunch of low-level arrests of drug dealers and sex predators.  They’ll try to champion those things as mission accomplished, but none of the big stuff we all wanted will ever happen. That’s my take. RELATED REPORT: Kash Patel and Dan Bongino Trust The FBI File On Jeffrey Epstein? You Kidding Me? Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are turning a lot of heads for many things they said on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. Something is definitely very off. First, let’s watch the clip where Kash Patel says Epstein clearly killed himself and Dan Bongino chimes in at the end with “He killed himself, I’ve seen the file.” Watch here: https://x.com/thequartering/status/1924170709359558997?s=46&t=fQPc05aE4Kkb738_xetJBg Backup here if needed: NEW: Kash Patel and Dan Bongino double down on Jeffrey Epstein claim, “He killed himself.” It’s the most infamous death of the century. And when Kash Patel told Maria Bartiromo he believed Epstein committed suicide, she pushed back. “You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.… pic.twitter.com/oDRxJM7fA8 — The Vigilant Fox (@VigilantFox) May 18, 2025 Let’s just say almost NO ONE is believing them. I sure don’t. I like(d) Kash, and I like(d) Dan, and I trust(ed) Kash and I trust(ed) Dan, but now I’m not so sure. This is one of the best comments I saw in response: I think that is spot on. I also have to completely agree with this guy who points out that the “FBI file” seems like a really weird place to look for evidence about the truth: Hey Dan, nobody likes a guy who walks in off the internet to tell you how to do your job but…Epstein’s FBI file seems like a really weird place to look for evidence of what may have happened. I mean, if he didn’t kill himself, that file is bound to be a crime scene all its own. https://t.co/iDH7vHE1AK pic.twitter.com/2veYl7GCUV — Bret Weinstein (@BretWeinstein) May 18, 2025 Come on Dan, you’re better than that! Are you kidding me? Let’s just assume for a second that Epstein did NOT in fact kill himself, and he was killed by our Government….do you really think the Government file would contain the truth? Dan, that doesn’t even pass any basic logic of any kind! If the Government killed him, they surely would have doctored the file too, but you “saw the file” and now you’re convinced? I’m just going to say this as plainly as I can:  Dan and Kash are either compromised or dumb beyond imagination, because there’s no other way to square this information. Glenn Beck agrees, saying he knows and trusts Dan and Kash, but he smells a rat here. Watch here: Glenn Beck doesn’t believe Kash Patel or Dan Bongino — nor do I. pic.twitter.com/jLoVLNywgn — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) May 19, 2025 FULL TRANSCRIPT: Kash Patel and Bongino come out and they said a couple of things.Uh, they said that Epstein’s death was suicide. Bongino came out and said,“I fully—I mean, I’ve seen it. You know it when you see it. It was suicide.” Immediately I thought to myself, “I don’t think so.”However, I know Dan Bongino. I’ve known him for years.I think he’s a credible guy. I think he loves his country.I know Kash Patel—not as well as I know Dan Bongino,but I know Kash Patel. I think he’s an honorable guy. I think he loves his country.I know that they both work for Donald Trump.I know Donald Trump. I know that he loves his country.So wait—if I don’t believe them, if I’m saying,“I don’t believe that,” just like I say,“I don’t believe the prostate thing is new to the family,”I have no evidence of that. I have zero evidence of that. It’s just what Stu said.I’ve been lied to over and over and over,especially from those people, about his health.So I—I—I just—I don’t believe any of it. But that is—the key word is “believe.”Believe. Not know—believe.I wanna show you—there are seven stages of an empire.We are in the last stage,and there’s only two things that have to happen in that last stage. When I give it to you here in a minute,uh, I think it’ll blow your mind.We have no trust at all in anything.If I don’t believe Patel and Bongino,then do I believe Donald Trump? Do I believe that there’s some conspiracy inside of MAGA?You see, where does this end?This is where critical thinking comes in.Critical thinking is something that is no longer taught. You have to ask yourself these questions.Instead of saying, “I don’t believe it,” ask questions.And here’s the question I asked myself:“To believe Epstein killed himself, what is it I would need to seethat could be produced?” One: full, unredacted forensic and autopsy reports.I’d like to see it. I’d like to hear other coroners talk about it.I’d like to see other people—not just handpicked by the media—but I’d—I’d like to see the evidence myself.I’d like to hear from coroners all over. I’d like to see the surveillance footage,or sworn testimony from neutral parties confirming no foul play on that.I wanna know the history of that camera.I wanna know when it went out, exactly—and I know we do—but I want the whole thing, including the video leading up to it going out. I want a timeline that explains the broken cameras,the sleeping guards, and why the most high-profile prisoner in Americawas removed from suicide watch just days before.Why did that happen? You see, it is the string of coincidenceand the constant lies from both sides of the administration—both Republican and Democrat.We don’t believe the Department of Justice anymore. We don’t believe our FBI.We don’t believe, apparently now, our own administration.That doesn’t lead anywhere good.That’s—let me just say the one name: Robespierre. That’s what leads to out-of-control revolution.So instead of saying, “I don’t believe it,”—which I don’t.I don’t believe it.But what would be much more helpful is— I want to see those things.I want to hear from Dan Bongino and say to him,“Dan, specifically what did you see?Because I know you. You didn’t believe this either.So what is it? And show it to me. What did you specifically see that changed your mind?Because I wanna be there with you. I really do.So show it to me.” Now with the FBI agents—the other story where they’re trying to, you know, erase everybody’s name that was involved—I want concrete threats of violence against specific agents.I don’t want just general fear. Don’t tell me that there are 5,000 agentsand they may not be able to prosecute them because of statute of limitations,and so they all just walk away and we’re going to destroy their names.That’s what’s being asked: destroy that list. Why? General fear.I’m sorry, general fear is no longer good enough.Evidence that the list is incomplete or misused—show that to me,and you can make a case. Show me a legal or constitutional rationalefor why law enforcement that was involved in January 6thshould remain anonymous.Show that to me—a legal or constitutional rationale. Without any of that, that looks like self-pre—uh, um—preservationinstead of institutional transparency.I have to see things.I’m sorry, but we should all be Thomas. Need to put my finger in the hole. So….what do you think? What’s going on with Kash and Dan?

Not everyone in Iran is opposed to the Iranian regime’s authoritarian rule. Videos on X show Iranian police officers opening fire on a U.S. Black Hawk helicopter as it attempted to find pilots that ejected from a F-15E fighter jet that was shot down by Iran. In the video officers are seen firing several rounds at the Black Hawk and in the background you can hear people cheering. CNN provided more details on the officers’ actions: A video shared Friday appears to show a group of Iranian police officers shooting at a pair of helicopters flying at low altitude over the town of Charam, in southwestern Iran. The person filming the video, which was posted on X, says the men are “our police officers” and cheers as they open fire. The car that the men get out of has a green stripe on its side, like Iran’s police cars. The helicopters appear to be a variant of the US-made Black Hawk helicopter, which both the US and Israel operate. Some specialized Black Hawk variants are commonly used in combat search and rescue missions, like the one currently being carried out over southwestern Iran. The pair of helicopters in the video are about 55 miles inside Iran, and nearly 200 miles from the nearest US base. Multiple other videos showing military aircraft operating over Iran on Friday were filmed nearby, apparently taking part in an intense search and rescue effort for the two crew members of an American F-15E which was shot down. One of the crew members has been rescued, sources told CNN, but the status of the other crew member is unclear.

The governor of one of the Islamic Republic’s provinces stated that anyone who captures or kills the crew would receive a special commendation. Video circulating on social media appeared to show a low-flying U.S. Air Force HC-130 refueling a pair of HH-60G Pave Hawks over Iran while conducting a search for the downed crew. What’s your view?

Happy Good Friday everyone! In just two days, we will join with family and friends to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, our Lord and Savior. Ahead of this year’s Easter holiday, President Trump delivered a beautiful, Christ-centered message. He quoted John 3:16, which perfectly sums up the Easter message:  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. In addition to honoring Christ’s resurrection, President Trump noted that we are also celebrating a resurrection of faith in our nation as more and more young Americans come to Christ. We are truly witnessing a Christian revival in our nation under President Trump, and it’s such a wonderful thing! Watch President Trump’s full Easter message here: BREAKING: President Trump just said it PERFECTLY "As I have often said, to be a great nation, you must have religion and you must have God!"

In his death, he modeled true love. And in his resurrection from the tomb, he proved that even death itself will not silence those who place their trust in Almighty God.” “As it says in Gospel of John, for God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, for whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Eternal life, such beautiful words!” “This Easter, millions of Christians all over the globe will be reminded that because of what Jesus did on the cross, all of us can live every day with hope in God’s promise, knowing that in the end, evil and wickedness will not prevail.” “In the spirit of joy and renewal this Easter, we also celebrate the extraordinary resurrection of faith and religion in America.” “In churches across the nation on Sunday, the pews will be fuller, younger, and more faithful than they have at any time in many, many years. Religion is growing again in our country for the first time in decades.” “Happy Easter to all. May God bless you. May God bless the United States of America. Our country is doing so well like never before. Thank you.” Amen, Mr. President! He said it very well. In order to truly Make America Great Again, you’ve got to put God first. It can’t be done without Him. President Trump’s Easter message is resonating with a lot of fellow Christian patriots: Beautiful message, President Trump! Faith in God truly makes America great again. Wishing everyone a joyful Easter filled with hope and love. God bless you and God bless our wonderful nation! ❤️

The details are still emerging following President Trump’s firing of Pam Bondi. But even with the dust still settling, payback and retribution are on the menu. Within the last few hours, photos and reports have started going viral which seem to show some of that payback with bucket loads of poetic irony. To which the DOJ swiftly responded with charges of fake news. I’m talking about Pam Bondi’s official DOJ portrait dropped unceremoniously into a waste basket — we just call them trash cans down here in Texas — after she received her proverbial pink slip from the President. Multiple outlets are running with the story — all based on this single photo offered up without a named source. That’s code for… UNVERIFIED and UNCONFIRMED, and that part will become important in a moment. TMZ wasn’t the first to run with it, but they had a whopping 1.2 million views as of the time of this report with their version of the story: Pam Bondi's portrait was tossed in the trash at the Department of Justice after Trump firing https://t.co/6wOrRC9iJM pic.twitter.com/7qF6Ziz95l — TMZ (@TMZ) April 3, 2026 The initial dustup came from MS Now (formerly MSNBC). MS Now’s Ken Dilanian shared the photo on X, which simultaneously grew legs as a full-fledged story as a result: https://t.co/JTDhqwkXXi pic.twitter.com/NmtVlxFRuT — Ken Dilanian (@KDilanianMSNOW) April 3, 2026 Let me be clear, (yes, I heard Obama’s voice in my head when I wrote that — it’s seared in, and I can’t help it)… There is no confirmation on whether or not that really is Bondi’s official DOJ portrait in the trash can. But the media, excited at the chance of hitting back at the Trump Administration for what they perceive as past injustices, have smelled blood in the water. Now, everyone’s running with the story which purports to show how quickly the tables can turn. Dilanian, who co-wrote MSNOW’s subsequent article, argues that it just shows how much anger there was towards Pam Bondi in the completely bipartisan and a-political Department of Justice. (Yep… dripping with sarcasm there.) That’s according to this coverage of the already infamous Bondi portrait flap, as reported by Huffpost: There doesn’t seem to be a lot of love at the Department of Justice for recently ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi. Shortly after President Donald Trump announced Bondi’s removal from the AG job, images started circulating on social media showing her official DOJ portrait being quickly removed from its previous spot next to photos of the president and Vice President JD Vance, MS NOW reported. One photo that is going viral shows the portrait of Bondi unceremoniously dumped in a trash can. MS NOW’s Ken Dilanian, who co-wrote the article with Carol Leonnig, appeared on the network Friday and said the trashed pic signals how many DOJ employees feel about Bondi. “Look, there’s a lot of anger, especially among the career workforce, about Pam Bondi and what she did to change the Justice Department, more so than any attorney general in modern history,” Dilanian said. He said DOJ employees’ main issue with Bondi is that she incorrectly assumed that the career workforce at DOJ is more sympathetic to Democrats than Republicans. In response, the DOJ posted a side-by-side. On the left… Ken Dilanian’s post is labeled “FAKE NEWS”. And on the right… what the DOJ says is the truth: Fake News vs. Real News pic.twitter.com/rMBJ9cGf5T — DOJ Rapid Response (@DOJRR47) April 3, 2026   Again, let me be clear. I don’t have a clue whether that initial photo was staged or AI-generated to capitalize on Bondi’s ouster, or whether it was real. But I do find it telling that in a world DOMINATED by AI-generated deep fakes… We still often find ourselves at the mercy of a photograph, EITHER of which could be easily faked. I don’t know about you, but that still makes me really nervous. You might have realized by now why the issue of Bondi’s portrait in a trash can is even a thing. If you’ll recall, the DOJ was super slow in changing out the previous Administration’s portraits following President Trump’s swearing in last year. Bondi, at the time, captured the hearts of many… by handling the issue herself — as was reported at the time by Fox News: Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday personally stripped the Justice Department’s walls of portraits of former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and her own predecessor, former Attorney General Merrick Garland, saying it was “ridiculous” for the portraits to still be hanging nearly three weeks into President Donald Trump’s tenure. Bondi’s role in personally removing the portraits, first shared on X by the New York Post’s Miranda Devine, was confirmed to Fox News Digital by a Justice Department official. Bondi “saw portraits of Garland, Biden, Harris were still up, and she took the initiative to take them off the walls herself and stack them in the corner,” the official told Fox News. The actions come after Bondi, who was sworn in earlier this month, vowed during her confirmation hearing in January not to politicize the Justice Department. Bondi, a longtime state prosecutor in Florida and two-time state attorney general, used her roughly five-hour confirmation hearing last month to vow that, if confirmed, the “partisanship, the weaponization” at the Justice Department “will be gone.” Here’s the social media post quoted in that article which broke that story back in February of 2025: Attorney General @PamBondi went into the DOJ in DC today and noticed that on the walls in one wing they still have big framed photos of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Merrick Garland. This is “ridiculous” three weeks into Donald Trump’s presidency. So she took down the photos… — Miranda Devine (@mirandadevine) February 12, 2025 Here’s the full text of that historic post for context and convenience: Attorney General @PamBondi went into the DOJ in DC today and noticed that on the walls in one wing they still have big framed photos of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Merrick Garland. This is “ridiculous” three weeks into Donald Trump’s presidency. So she took down the photos off the wall, there and then, on her own, and stacked them in a corner where we hope they will never be seen again. Bravo! It is admittedly a weird world. We have the anti-Trump establishment legacy media (name changes notwithstanding, MSN-Whatever)… Along with a large portion of the pro-Trump base… Both simultaneously excited, for vastly different reasons, that a key Trump Administration official has been removed. And many in BOTH CAMPS are having a laugh at Bondi’s expense right now over that photo — of HER photo — in the trash! If that doesn’t reveal the complexities of DC politics, I don’t know what does! I still don’t know whether or not it was all staged to begin with for social media clicks. But I definitely know what happens when you make promises to an entire voter base and fail to keep those promises. File 13. In many ways, it doesn’t matter whether that photo is real, or AI-generated. It’s one thing for the Democratic Party to hate you and openly mock you; that’s expected. But once you are seen to be the face of empty promises, it’s only a matter of time before your photo ends up in the trash. What’s your take?

This is sure to destroy her reputation. Former child star Mellisa Gilbert is defending her husband actor Timothy Busfield after he was charged with child sex abuse. Gilbert who starred on Little House on the Prairie as Laura Ingalls, defended her husband in an interview with Good Morning America which is set to air soon. NBC New York reported more on Gilbert’s soon to be aired interview: Melissa Gilbert, who is married to actor Timothy Busfield, is speaking out for the first time since her husband was charged with child sex abuse. In a preview of an interview with Gilbert on “Good Morning America,” Gilbert said the past few months have been “the most traumatizing experience of our lives.” The full interview is set to air on “Good Morning America” on Monday. When asked by “GMA” host George Stephanopoulos why she is speaking out now, Gilbert said: “It’s time.” “Our life as we knew it is done. We are grieving what we had. All of our plans, all of our dreams, all of our ideas, all of our projects,” Gilbert said, according to “GMA.” “For Tim, it’s done. He’s canceled … even if he’s exonerated, he will always be that guy. The last person in the world who would hurt a child,” she said. Gilbert continued, “And believe me, if I thought for a second that Tim Busfield hurt a child, he’d have a lot more to worry about than prison.” Busfield and Gilbert, both actors, married in 2013. Busfield is perhaps most well known for his role as Danny Concannon in “The West Wing.” In February, Busfield was indicted by a grand jury in New Mexico on four counts of criminal sexual contact of a child, the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office said in a press release at the time. Melissa Gilbert said her husband being charged for child sex abuse has been "the most traumatizing experience of our lives." https://t.co/vG3dACkyFp — NBC News (@NBCNews) April 3, 2026 US Weekly reported more on Busfield’s alleged crime: A warrant for Busfield’s arrest, obtained by Us, was issued by authorities in New Mexico on January 9, 2026, after he was accused of sexual misconduct involving a minor. The alleged incidents occurred while Busfield was directing The Cleaning Lady, which aired on Fox from 2022 to 2025. Busfield’s accuser and his twin brother worked as child actors on the show. According to the criminal complaint, the child involved claimed that Busfield first touched his “private areas” inappropriately when he was 7 years old. He accused the West Wing alum of touching him three or four times. In a separate incident when the child was 8 years old, Busfield allegedly touched him five or six times. The boy was “very afraid of Tim and was relieved when he was off set,” according to the affidavit. He also stated that he “was afraid to tell anyone because Tim was the director, and he feared Tim would get mad at him.” The child’s mother reported to Child Protective Services that the alleged abuse occurred between late 2022 and the second half of 2024, according to the complaint. The child was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety following the alleged incidents. Care to share your thoughts?
