Parents can?t help but wonder: was my child a target? The question comes after the arrest of a teacher on charges of possessing child pornography.
When investigators raided the home of Leslie Hoogland Friday, they seized computers, camera equipment, and what they allege was a cache of disgusting pictures involving youngsters. He appeared in court on Monday.
The 53-year-old has been under the microscope for months, but cops only recently learned he was an English, literacy and marketing teacher at West Toronto C.I.

I worked with this guy in my last job and found him to be one of the calmest diplomatic people on the face fo the earth. even today I contacted my old employer to verify this was the truth. Everyone is shocked and saddened that for all the time we spoke of our distain for those who produce CP, this guy was working under all our noses producing it, and perhaps using the companies equipment to make it.
My heart goes out to the families and victims - but its shocking when now you have a person you know that falls into a category of those you always hated as predators that you would shoot in a heartbeat.
Yet - the whole case is not about me, nor a man I considered a friend, but the horrible acts he produced on film with innocent kids. I am in tears thinking that anyone could do that to a kid and wonder where I may have missed the signals or signs that I could have stopped this, but cant figure it out.
