New Comment My comment is: Why did the church allow someone with a criminal record be allowed to teach Sunday School to innocent children. I think that the relatives who allowed Huckabee to teach Sunday school without letting parents know that this person had a criminal record be responsible for the crime that this person committed be also be charged. The grandparents knew about her criminal record. Should they the church ask for a test/or criminal record as we are all requested to do. If we have a felony or criminal record? Apparently not, anyone can teach Sunday school. This church has been allowed to have someone with a criminal record teach children and it was ok. Churches should also be regulated like any ligitimate company. There should be strict regualtions. Why is this not in place! Churches should be regulated like any business. Shame on the families who hide behind the churhs. Charge the church for allowing someone like her to teach Sunday School. Please regulate the church!
