A crying shame
This is sickening: "Youth pastor faces sexual assault charges."
I feel very sorry for this young victim, her family and everyone at Hayworth Christian School and Hayworth Wesleyan Church in High Point.
A youth pastor holds a position of great responsibility, and I can't think of a more serious violation of trust than these allegations suggest.
Mr. Caldwell is due his day in court, but if convicted of these charges he will deserve the severe punishment that would be coming his way.
I have to add, my kids benefited tremendously through the relationships they had with youth leaders in our church. It's a crying shame when someone takes advantage of that kind of relationship for immoral and exploitative purposes.
