No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

Michigan church youth director facing child sex charges receives new trial date​

A former Washtenaw County church youth director facing 60 charges for child sex crimes was back in court Thursday for a pretrial conference.

The number of charges for Zachary Radcliff has kept growing since he was first charged with 11 counts related to criminal sexual conduct, child sexual abuse material and using a computer to commit a crime.

While Radcliff's case was already bound over to trial, attorneys agreed to postpone it from starting on March 9, 2026, to June 15, 2026.

Church leadership knew about alleged sexual abuse by youth pastor, lawsuits claim​

Oakwood Baptist Church and its pastor Frank Radcliff, along with other members of the Radcliff family and church leadership, “perpetuated a culture of silence and protectionism” that allowed the youth pastor Zachary Radcliff to sexually abuse 11 children, two lawsuits filed in the Washtenaw County Circuit Court indicate.

The lawsuits, which name multiple members of the Radcliff family and the Oakwood Baptist Church, were filed in April 2025 and January 2026 by two different John Does who allege to be victims of Zachary Radcliff. MLive/The Ann Arbor News typically does not name victims of sexual abuse.

IT's actually really shocking to me how little republicans seem care about the safety of children given how vociferous they have been at keeping trans folks away from their children.

If Rupublicans we're doing such a job of keeping what you call "trans folks" away from children, those trans folks wouldn't be going into schools and committing mass shootings of children on so many occassions.

Indeed. Mental illness shouldn’t be glorified.

That red circle points out an "outliers". Trans violence against straights are that exact thing; an outlier. Undeniably it happens, but to focus so much of our resources to solve the problem of an outlier is a very stupid thing to do.

No matter how often you circle that tiny circle over there, you don't deal with the massive problem of straight male violence.

And the more we make excuses for the behavior of the mentally ill (remember when treating them used to be a priority?), the more we can expect to see more such incidents happening.

Lol.

So instead of taking care of the BIG problem, we should ignore the BIG problem and put all our resources into stopping the infintessimally small problem.

Boy, imagine how terrible it would be if trans people were as violent as straight men!

Transsexuals with a mental illness that's got its own fan base, and who display their mental illness by victimizing innocent children is hardly a small problem.
Think of the children! That's what we used to hear from those who now throw the children under the bus if it means furthering a hatred of our president.
