Sunday School Teacher Arrested on Molestation Charges
Sacramento police have arrested a 36-year-old Sunday school teacher on charges of molesting a 12-year-old boy.
Christopher Todd Hettiger was a church elder and taught Sunday school for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on Rio Tierra Avenue in south Natomas.
Hettiger apparently met the boy and his mother through the church and hired the woman as a housekeeper. The boy attended Hettinger's Sunday school class and stayed overnight at Hettiger’s home on several occasions.
According to police, the case broke when the boy no longer wanted to visit Hettiger. When his mother asked why, he revealed the alleged molested, which had been going on for more than a year.
Hettiger also worked in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program four years ago. His many contacts with young people have raised suspicions that there might be additional victims.
According to investigators, Hettinger has no criminal record. He is self-employed, working out of his house as a computer consultant.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call (916) 443-HELP.
Isn't it ironic you can't refute the truth preferring to persist in bigotry and in this case, attack HOW the post was written?
Why is it I only use such a tone with you and with CARepubGal? Could it be because you two are the most intolerant bigots on Free Republic?
I don't disregard attacks on my faith and am utterly merciless with bigots who demonize and distort the faith of others in complete disregard of facts.
Our society is facing severe threats. Danger to our freedoms and lives are mounting. Liberalism is destroying everything we hold dear. Your actions of irrational hostility against everything Mormon, the single most conservative faith in the US, is GUARANTEED to fracture a united opposition to the deterioration of our world. It isn't smart to stick a knife in an ally's back when you're standing together against liberalism. If we go down, you go down as well. You're slitting your own throat.
As a Canadian, I can testify to the idiocy of dividing the Right - we've done it up here. There has been two conservative parties in Canada for the past decade. The result? The federal Liberals have been governing Canada all this time, plunging our good relations with the US, and creating problems so immense that we will probably break up as a nation sooner than Europe is conquered by Islam.
Do you want the same thing to occur to the US? We Mormons won't forget or join forces with those who are trying to destroy or demonize us.
I don't know what ages the wives of BY or JS were. So sorry.
Why is it illogical to say irrational hostility of one group of conservatives towards another group of conservatives "fractures a united opposition?"
Someone's clearly not thinking right.

While there's something to be said about my enemies enemy is my friend, a possible thought behind the above words, when it comes to politics that may well be true. Yet Edward Watson appears to think that means we should sit idly by and not say anything about bad theology.
Some links I find helpful to better understand Mormon theology:
While I think it's important for all conservatives to fight liberalism, that doesn't mean all conservatives agree theologically and those differences need to be expressed.I remember hearing a story that occured in the Southern US a number of years ago when the Baptists and Evangelicals didn't want to join forces with the Mormons in opposing a pro-homosexual legislation simply because they considered Mormonism evil. Such a short-sighted action nearly resulted in the passing of a law that would've made gay marriage legal in the state.
We Mormons are always willing to join forces with conservatives, regardless of their religion, to ensure leftist agendas aren't allowed to destroy our society. Would that others feel the same way.
I have often watch you do several things, either you-
1-try to set up some kind a good guy inquiry only to afterwords like when your prey lands than SWAT at it, it matter not that you spin or or distort you got your prey!
2- Lately you have gone over board in your inflammatory statements!
3- Also when you see flames, you like to fan them!
I think CA did not realize how she was coming across after a reading one of her replies! Some things is gnawing at her and unkwoningly I believe is spelling into her inpersonal post I might be wrong!
I don't recall him saying only LOVE those who act like you!
I never thought of you as my enemy and I know for Sure the Lord dose not think of Me as His Enemy-
So who left you in charge?
I know God loves me, and God love you!
So if the Lord love each of us-
Who am I to Ignore his Commandments?
LOL. You don't separate between a disagreement with your (false) church and a disagreement with you.
You have your self have become over top lately with some of your statements. I have often watch you do several things, either you-
1-try to set up some kind a good guy inquiry only to afterwords like when your prey lands than SWAT at it, it matter not that you spin or or distort you got your prey!
Maybe when I first started looking into your (false ) church.
2- Lately you have gone over board in your inflammatory statements!
I'd like to see some of these just to know what you consider inflammatory. I might agree.
3- Also when you see flames, you like to fan them!
Maybe, but where there is fire there is also fuel for that fire. The church that Joseph Smith, SBUHN, created has much in the way of fuel for Christians to use to burn the false church.
I think CA did not realize how she was coming across after a reading one of her replies! Some things is gnawing at her and unkwoningly I believe is spelling into her inpersonal post I might be wrong!
Maybe knowing all the years she lost as a Mormon before God opened her eyes and allowed her to see the false beliefs she was taught and tried to live.
This spiritually born Bible believing Christian will join you and anybody else to fight liberalism.
Above all that there's theology, and having your key tenets of theology true to the Bible is more important than anything.
It's easy to get emotional and off track when someone posts information that brings your worldview into question or challenges your worldview in a public forum. We both know the sites I listed are a correct summary of Mormonism, the thing I'm trying to do is get them to see bad theology for what it is.
