Child Porn? Yes, It's Made in the Shoals

It hasn't been that long ago that a North Florence man was arrested for producing child pornography using his grandchildren. Nice guy, huh? Is this extremely rare? No. Remember the Ayers couple now serving sentences that range in the hundreds of years for photographing the wife's disabled daughter? Remember the Killen man with the largest collection of child porn ever found in the state who had at least one local video he had shot himself (it contained images of a teenager and not a child)? 

Now a Muscle Shoals man has been arrested for filming a young child wearing a Colbert County school shirt. Authorities know the identity of the child who is cooperating with investigators.

Mark McCormack

According to news reports, there have been at least three investigations in Georgia concerning McCormack, a former kindergarten teacher. No official charges were ever brought in that state. Three investigations and no charges? 

We do our children a great disservice when we drop the ball in these types of inquiries. Let's hope the feds can make this latest charge stick.

Speaking of federal crimes, albeit not nearly so heinous, Roy Moore has...ummm...not filled in his senate campaign ethics form correctly. How many who voted for him on Tuesday will care that the former judge lied on something he had to swear to? We're not holding our breath until the majority speaks up to condemn him. 

Oh, and the wife he dragged along the campaign trail lied on one of hers also. No word on Sassy the horse he rode in on.
