Week 10 Article 2

1.    Glenn, M. (2013 November, 8). Former Harris deputy charged with child sex assault. The Houston Chronicle. Retrieved from http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Former-Harris-deputy-charged-with-child-sex-4969207.php?cmpid=hpbn
2.    Category of Problem: Sexual assault
3.    Level of Problem: Local
4.    Article concerns: Houston police officer was accused of sexually assaulting his girlfriend’s daughter.
5.    Affects families/individuals: This highly affects the child that it happened to as well as the mother of that child, they trusted this man and he abused that child.

6.    My concerns: How could a man that worked as a police officer for thirty years do something like this? It makes me wonder if that was the only girl that this happened to or if there were others. Police officers are supposed to be people that we trust to keep us safe but when they break the law themselves how are we supposed to trust them anymore. It makes me wonder about how easy it is for people to become police officers. I think more background checks need to be done and that it should become more difficult for people to become police officers. If we cannot even trust the people that protect us then who are we supposed to trust?
