Talk:Sex offender pretends to be 12 years old; enrolls into seventh grade

Pedophile

I am not seeming where this is mentioned in any reports, and thats including articles not used as a source(s). I don't know what sex crimes he was convicted for and if that cannot be found, then we cannot assume he was or is a pedophile. A sex offense can mean any number of things.

He seems to have been convicted for propositioning to a 6-year-old, does that make up the definition of a convicted pedophile? Anyway the word is indeed not used in any reports -might be a language problem from my side.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:45, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure. I think, if there is a source that says that, we word it like it says..."propositioning a 6 y/o..." becuase its still assumption to say pediphile until a judge or officer etc says so...I don't disagree, but we have to follow the facts. DragonFire1024 23:02, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I think you are being a little too strict... :) Towsonu2003 06:55, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Rodreick spent nearly the whole day at the school. Rodreick also attended another charter school from August 14 to November of 2006, Imagine School at Rosefield. Rodreick attended a total of 50 days at Imagine before he was dismissed from the school for not attending class enough.

How did he pretend to be 12 years-old when he is 29? This article doesn't make it clear. —FellowWikiNews (W) (sign here!) 22:32, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Good eye :) I forgot to add that he used makeup to disguise himself. DragonFire1024 22:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Picture

I think a picture might be necessary to understand how a 29-year old might be mistaken for 12.--70.158.160.6 16:53, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Since Wikinews only can use free images that's not likely to happen.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 19:12, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

That's not true, we can use fair use images. (Images from other news websites are not fair use). Bawolff ☺☻ 08:00, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
