Between Text Messages and Adderall: Anatomy of a Predator Jacob Wessel Probable Cause Affidavit
A shocking case unfolds as we meticulously examine the probable cause affidavit filed against Jacob Wessel, a former robotics teacher at Mooresville Christian Academy in Indiana. The document reveals disturbing allegations of grooming behavior directed at a 13-year-old student, including inappropriate text messages stating he was "in love" with her and wanted to kiss her. Most troublingly, Wessel allegedly provided the minor with Adderall on school grounds and marijuana at his home—classic grooming tactics that escalated over several months.
What makes this case particularly disturbing is the apparent pattern of institutional failure. We analyze a letter from the school administration that attempted to downplay Wessel's dismissal, claiming previous accusations had been "unfounded" while expressing disappointment that parents continued to raise concerns. Through documentation dating back to 2022, we uncover multiple parent complaints about Wessel allowing female students to sit on his lap during class—complaints that were not only dismissed but met with threats to expel families who continued voicing concerns.
The victim's forensic interview reveals the complex emotional manipulation at play. Despite feeling uncomfortable with Wessel's behavior, she remained conflicted about reporting him due to her close relationship with his family. When she developed feelings for Wessel's son, the teacher allegedly tried to convince her to like him instead—a disturbing display of jealousy that speaks volumes about his intentions.
This episode serves as a powerful reminder of how predatory behavior often follows recognizable patterns and how institutional protection of staff can create dangerous environments for children. Have you encountered situations where concerns about an adult's behavior with children were dismissed? How can we better empower children to speak up when adults cross boundaries?

I'm Chop your host, and always with me is my beautiful co-host, Julie.

Julie, how are you doing today?
00:00:42.715 --> 00:00:43.115
I'm amazing.
00:00:43.136 --> 00:00:57.113
Today, me and Julie are diving into a serious legal document, a probable cause affidavit from Morgan County, indiana, case number 55-D02-2505-F5, filed on May 15, 2025.
00:00:57.113 --> 00:01:00.729
This involves allegations against Jacob Wessel.
00:01:00.729 --> 00:01:05.572
We're going to read it verbatim, straight from the source, to give you the unfiltered details.
00:01:07.460 --> 00:01:07.941
That's right.
00:01:07.941 --> 00:01:13.332
We're keeping it raw and real, reading every word exactly as it appears in the affidavit.
00:01:13.332 --> 00:01:20.073
We'll alternate sections to keep it clear, starting with the introductory details and moving through the narrative.
00:01:21.301 --> 00:01:21.802
Let's do it.
00:01:21.802 --> 00:01:25.850
I'll kick things off with the first of page one.
00:01:25.850 --> 00:01:26.513
Here we go.
00:01:28.362 --> 00:01:42.915
Okay, moving to his charges, Wessel is being charged with a level five, child seduction, and a level five dealing in a schedule two, controlled substance with an enhancing circumstance.
00:01:50.670 --> 00:01:54.876
And then an a misdemeanor contributing for the probable cause still on page one.
00:01:54.876 --> 00:02:07.612
This probable cause is based upon the following facts and circumstances based on my personal knowledge, this report was prepared by Corporal Dodson on 1-14-25.
00:02:07.612 --> 00:02:11.913
I was assigned to follow up on his initial report, taken by Deputy Tolan.
00:02:11.913 --> 00:02:19.411
The report details events that occurred between a juvenile and a former robotics teacher, jacob Wessel.
00:02:19.411 --> 00:02:25.063
Wessel was terminated from the Mooresville Christian Academy in December of 2024.
00:02:25.063 --> 00:02:30.407
Below is the narrative from the initial report drafted by Deputy Tolan.
00:02:30.407 --> 00:02:41.576
On January 3rd 2024, while on duty with the Morgan County Sheriff's Office, I, deputy Tolan, responded to Mooresville Police Department for a sex offense case.
00:02:41.576 --> 00:02:49.247
Dispatch advised the victim's mother stated her daughter's teacher had been sending her inappropriate text.
00:02:49.247 --> 00:02:56.372
I arrived on scene and met with the mother and stepmother to the victim, along with the victim identified as 13 years old.
00:02:58.020 --> 00:03:03.195
All right, let's move it to page two, picking up where this narrative continues.
00:03:03.195 --> 00:03:09.930
The stepmom stated that the victim currently goes to Mooresville Christian Academy out on State Road 144.
00:03:09.930 --> 00:03:18.468
She advised the victim has been texting a teacher identified as Jacob Wessel, 44 of Canby, indiana.
00:03:18.468 --> 00:03:21.662
Jacob was a robotics teacher at the school.
00:03:21.662 --> 00:03:27.902
The stepmom stated the victim has been texting Jacob since September of 2024.
00:03:27.902 --> 00:03:42.348
The victim said it was not unusual to text him because she, the victim, was close friends with Wessel's sons who also go to Mooresville Christian Academy.
00:03:42.348 --> 00:03:52.350
The victim said there was no physical intimacy between her and Jacob and that they never exchanged any type of pornographic photos between one another.
00:03:53.721 --> 00:04:00.008
Stepmom said the victim has already talked to the principal of the school and showed them the text messages between Jacob and her.
00:04:00.008 --> 00:04:06.294
The victim reportedly told the principal about the incident on December 18, 2024.
00:04:06.294 --> 00:04:11.551
The parents found out about the incident after the victim had went to the principal.
00:04:11.551 --> 00:04:22.733
Stepmom said the school has already released Jacob from his position after it was reported and was supposed to make a report with DCS, but they have not heard anything.
00:04:22.733 --> 00:04:27.862
Stepmom stated with DCS, but they have not heard anything.
00:04:27.862 --> 00:04:31.113
Stepmom stated this was not the first incident where Jacob has been communicating inappropriately with a minor.
00:04:31.113 --> 00:04:31.916
It was reported.
00:04:31.916 --> 00:04:37.552
There was another incident a year or two ago involved with another victim and Jacob.
00:04:37.552 --> 00:04:45.653
The victim told investigators that victim was 12 to 13 years old and also went to Mooresville Christian Academy.
00:04:45.653 --> 00:04:53.971
The school administration still let Jacob keep his position and that he was not allowed to be alone with students.
00:04:55.180 --> 00:05:00.192
So we're still on page two and here's where things get more specific about the allegations.
00:05:00.192 --> 00:05:07.593
It appeared from the text messages that Jacob supplied the victim with cannabis and used it with her.
00:05:07.593 --> 00:05:12.571
The victim told her parents that Jacob also gave her Adderall at school.
00:05:12.571 --> 00:05:22.812
Before I asked if Jacob would supply her the cannabis, she stated Jacob would and she would smoke it with him.
00:05:22.812 --> 00:05:28.725
Detectives looked at some text messages between the victim and Jacob that were located on the phone.
00:05:28.725 --> 00:05:39.954
On November 24th 2024, there was a text message of Jacob telling the victim how it made him feel good when she rubbed her boobs on him.
00:05:39.954 --> 00:05:47.033
The victim responded back to Jacob telling him that it made her uncomfortable that he felt that way.
00:05:47.033 --> 00:05:50.168
Jacob also talks about how they are in love.
00:05:50.187 --> 00:05:51.031
Damn.
00:05:51.031 --> 00:05:57.512
On December 14, 2024, Jacob messaged that he wanted to kiss her.
00:05:57.512 --> 00:06:06.113
On December 17, 2024, texted Jacob how it made her uncomfortable with his feelings for her.
00:06:06.113 --> 00:06:11.672
Jacob messaged that he did not see or put an age on it for his feelings.
00:06:11.672 --> 00:06:14.709
For these are just a summary of the messages.
00:06:14.709 --> 00:06:19.291
There were messages on the phone of Jacob talking about smoking with the victim.
00:06:19.291 --> 00:06:26.750
Mom said there was a lot of times that Jacob took the victim home or that she went up to Jacob's house to hang out with the kids.
00:06:26.750 --> 00:06:38.613
The victim advised that she had feelings for Jacob's son and really liked him and during the course of the messages, Jacob was trying to convince her not to like his son and to like him instead.
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:40.505
That's crazy.
00:06:41.740 --> 00:06:48.413
That's fucked up Like a jealous ass dad, jealous because a little girl is liking your son.
00:06:48.413 --> 00:06:53.000
I mean you should be like a proud dad, like hey, I got a good-looking son, you know what I mean.
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.367
And then giving her Adderall and smoking weed with her.
00:06:56.309 --> 00:06:57.112
Oh, my goodness.
00:06:57.112 --> 00:07:08.122
So in the messages there were screenshots of a conversation between a 17-year-old girl, and Jacob told her that this 17-year-old girl was stalking him.
00:07:08.122 --> 00:07:14.675
The mom reported she has also seen Jacob take other girls home as well.
00:07:14.675 --> 00:07:19.370
Mom reported one of the girls was 12 to 13 years old.
00:07:20.754 --> 00:07:28.572
Mom and stepmom both consented to a phone download on the victim's phone and would be willing to come down to the Morgan County Sheriff's Office to do that.
00:07:28.572 --> 00:07:32.711
The victim also stated she would consent to the phone download.
00:07:32.711 --> 00:07:36.930
The phone is currently in possession of mom and is not being used.
00:07:36.930 --> 00:07:41.031
Dcs has been contacted and made aware of the incident.
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.209
Now we get into the forensic interview details.
00:07:44.209 --> 00:07:46.343
Aware of the incident?
00:07:46.343 --> 00:07:47.567
Now we get into the forensic interview details.
00:07:47.567 --> 00:07:50.279
Given the statements made by the victim, she was scheduled for a forensic interview at Susie's place in Avon.
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:54.346
Below is a brief summation of the interview.
00:07:54.346 --> 00:08:01.887
The victim acknowledges that she is friends with the Wessel family and that she would do things with them often.
00:08:01.887 --> 00:08:06.814
The victim communicated regularly with Wessel via phone call or text.
00:08:06.814 --> 00:08:11.271
The victim states that Wessel did behave oddly at times.
00:08:11.271 --> 00:08:15.690
Wessel would rub her shoulders or back, which made her uncomfortable.
00:08:15.690 --> 00:08:20.250
Wessel and the victim would communicate about day-to-day things.
00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:23.149
Then Wessel began to text her.
00:08:23.149 --> 00:08:32.254
Then Wessel began to text her and she initially didn't think anything about it because she was so close to the family.
00:08:32.254 --> 00:08:36.831
Then the text got weirder and weirder and it made her uncomfortable.
00:08:36.831 --> 00:08:42.773
Wessel said that he liked her but stated that she didn't want to go into that.
00:08:43.861 --> 00:08:51.471
The victim states that she did eventually tell the administration of Mooresville Christian Academy about the behavior that made her uncomfortable.
00:08:51.471 --> 00:08:55.509
The victim was crying and emotional because she cares about the family.
00:08:55.509 --> 00:09:02.350
Wessel's behavior that made her uncomfortable started in September and ended in December of 2024.
00:09:02.350 --> 00:09:14.346
Further details that she tried to brush off his behavior and tell herself that that's not the kind of person he is and that she was having such a great time with the family she didn't want to ruin that.
00:09:14.346 --> 00:09:20.990
The victim does detail a message where Wessel tells her that he really liked her and he can't help it.
00:09:20.990 --> 00:09:25.572
She states that Wessel at one point texted her that he wanted to kiss her.
00:09:25.572 --> 00:09:35.671
She said that she told Wessel he was a grown-ass man and that was enough is enough and that what he was doing was not okay.
00:09:35.671 --> 00:09:39.089
Wessel replied to her and said they could make it work.
00:09:39.089 --> 00:09:43.679
The victim never disclosed any further touching or contact with Wessel.
00:09:44.181 --> 00:09:54.068
Thank goodness this girl went to her parents and she's very strong-minded, you know and he was straight up trying to groom her.
00:09:54.159 --> 00:10:01.130
He was trying to groom her at the fullest extent, Mm-hmm, Getting her high, making her feel welcome with the family.
00:10:01.130 --> 00:10:05.870
Here you need some Adderall Maybe make you focus in class a little better type shit probably.
00:10:06.760 --> 00:10:07.100
Yep.
00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:13.614
Now the victim states that one time Wessel gave her Adderall at Mooresville Christian Academy.
00:10:13.614 --> 00:10:17.571
She knew what it was because his kids were prescribed Adderall.
00:10:17.571 --> 00:10:28.565
She advised that she had a test that she was really stressed out about and that she told Wessel about it a test that she was really stressed out about and that she told Wessel about it.
00:10:28.565 --> 00:10:30.528
Wessel offered the Adderall and stated don't tell any other kids.
00:10:30.528 --> 00:10:38.735
She states that the Adderall was given to her directly by Wessel in the elementary school area of Mooresville Christian Academy.
00:10:38.735 --> 00:10:43.605
It is to note that the victim is not prescribed Adderall.
00:10:44.186 --> 00:10:49.475
Wessel offered marijuana to her and another person while they were at Wessel's house.
00:10:49.475 --> 00:10:54.580
The victim states she tried the marijuana gave to her by Wessel.
00:10:54.580 --> 00:10:59.331
She also states that she knew that it was marijuana because of how it smelled.
00:10:59.331 --> 00:11:08.653
Further details are that another person was there when she tried it and that that person did not have a reaction.
00:11:08.653 --> 00:11:13.176
She states that Wessel handed her the marijuana and that she tried it.
00:11:13.176 --> 00:11:17.075
That Wessel did not say anything as he handed it to her.
00:11:17.075 --> 00:11:24.674
She also states that on another occasion she was in the kitchen at the Wessel home and he blew marijuana smoke in her face.
00:11:25.264 --> 00:11:30.791
Wow, I told you that's what he was thinking about the speedy pills he was thinking about the speedy pills.
00:11:30.791 --> 00:11:36.495
The interview concludes shortly after that with no other pertinent information gleaned.
00:11:36.495 --> 00:11:41.782
The interview concludes shortly after with no other pertinent information gained.
00:11:41.782 --> 00:11:53.073
The obviously very defensive of Wessel and his family she states multiple times throughout the interview that she cares a lot about them and does not want to make this a quote unquote.
00:11:53.073 --> 00:11:53.655
Big deal.
00:11:53.655 --> 00:11:57.635
Also makes mention that she does not want Wessel to lose his kids.
00:11:58.385 --> 00:12:03.538
Now continuing on page four about the phone evidence and attempts to contact Wessel.
00:12:03.538 --> 00:12:14.788
I have reviewed the forensic phone extraction of the phone and did find messages from Wessel that coincide with the information she provided in her interview.
00:12:14.788 --> 00:12:24.974
I did not find any mention of physical contact between Wessel and the extraction will be submitted with this case for further review.
00:12:24.974 --> 00:12:28.629
The interview from Susie's place has also been attached.
00:12:28.629 --> 00:12:35.269
I have tried multiple times to make contact with Wessel and have had no success.
00:12:35.269 --> 00:12:40.859
I have tried via phone and also sent a uniformed deputy to his home.
00:12:40.859 --> 00:12:46.797
Wessel has failed to reach out to discuss the allegations in this report.
00:12:48.645 --> 00:12:49.629
We're almost done with this.
00:12:49.629 --> 00:12:52.736
We're still on page four with location and arrest warrant.
00:12:52.736 --> 00:12:56.395
All events occurred in Morgan County in the state of Indiana.
00:12:56.395 --> 00:13:04.998
For the foregoing reasons, I have probable cause to believe that the defendants named hereon committed the offenses stated above.
00:13:04.998 --> 00:13:15.096
I request that an arrest warrant be issued for the arrest of the defendants with bonds set in the amount set forth in the court's bond schedule for the arrest of the defendants with bonds set in the amount set forth in the court's bond schedule for the offenses charged.
00:13:15.096 --> 00:13:17.826
And that's the full probable cause affidavit.
00:13:17.826 --> 00:13:19.009
Folks, heavy stuff.
00:13:19.009 --> 00:13:28.116
Serious allegations about Jacob Wessel's interactions with a minor, including inappropriate text providing Adderall and offering marijuana.
00:13:28.116 --> 00:13:32.455
Julie, what stands out the most to you about this?
00:13:32.926 --> 00:13:34.030
It's disturbing.
00:13:34.030 --> 00:13:43.033
The detailed text messages, especially Wessel allegedly saying he's in love with a 13-year-old and wanting to kiss her, are chilling.
00:13:43.033 --> 00:13:56.472
The fact that the school had a prior incident and still kept him on, only restricting him from being alone with students, raises big questions and the victim's conflicted feelings.
00:13:56.472 --> 00:14:01.553
Defending the family while reporting this shows how complex these situations can be.
00:14:02.255 --> 00:14:06.227
You know, the victim's loyalty to the Wessel family makes it even tougher.
00:14:06.227 --> 00:14:11.691
The affidavit paints a picture of someone in a position of trust, crossing major lines.
00:14:11.691 --> 00:14:24.119
You know, I also thought it was weird and I wanted to add this in Like Brittany Fortenberry, she extremely changed her weight and her looks and shit.
00:14:24.119 --> 00:14:26.472
And that made her in my mind—.
00:14:26.745 --> 00:14:28.312
That's what she said in her interview?
00:14:28.312 --> 00:14:30.830
Yeah, and she wanted to relive her childhood.
00:14:30.830 --> 00:14:38.034
I wonder if that in any way had anything to do with this dude, because if you look at the pictures of him, he lost a tremendous amount of weight.
00:14:39.187 --> 00:14:40.725
Don't even look like the same person at all.
00:14:40.784 --> 00:14:41.931
No, absolutely not.
00:14:43.705 --> 00:14:48.673
Something tells me this type of behavior is nothing new for Jacob.
00:14:48.673 --> 00:15:06.806
The Reporter Times in Martinsville reported back in October 7th of 2015 that a Jacob Wessel, 35, was arrested and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
00:15:06.806 --> 00:15:14.707
We are still in the process to confirm if this is the same Wessel, but the agent address area match up.
00:15:14.707 --> 00:15:21.346
But funny thing is, when you go and search the my Case portal, no case whatsoever is found.
00:15:21.346 --> 00:15:23.551
I mean, what happened to it?
00:15:23.551 --> 00:15:24.192
Where did it go?
00:15:24.673 --> 00:15:25.937
I bet he had it expunged.
00:15:25.937 --> 00:15:30.618
I've heard of people getting stuff expunged and it disappears from my case and everything.
00:15:30.778 --> 00:15:32.384
And that's like a minor charge.
00:15:32.384 --> 00:15:33.327
Yeah, or it could be.
00:15:33.327 --> 00:15:34.331
Is it a misdemeanor?
00:15:34.331 --> 00:15:36.625
Is it always a felony, or is it a misdemeanor no?
00:15:36.745 --> 00:15:49.197
I think it coincides with the whatever you let the minor get away with, like if you let the minor do a felony, then I think the contributing charge is a felony.
00:15:49.197 --> 00:15:50.506
I could be wrong about that.
00:15:50.506 --> 00:15:51.948
If so, you guys can reach out.
00:15:51.948 --> 00:15:53.270
I'm sure you guys will.
00:15:53.270 --> 00:16:07.568
If you let a minor, like, say, drive a truck, if you're teaching your son how to drive a truck.
00:16:07.568 --> 00:16:23.815
That honestly happened to me one time I was teaching our oldest boy to drive a truck on a back road and the little shit did a burnout and this was like 20 some years yeah the cop saw it just wrote me a ticket for contributing to the delinquency of a minor because I let my minor drive my truck without a license.
00:16:23.875 --> 00:16:28.115
And I was kindly appalled by that, because how the hell do you teach your damn kid how to drive?
00:16:28.115 --> 00:16:29.708
I guess I should have done it a little bit legal-er.
00:16:29.708 --> 00:16:40.904
I don't know, I thought it was cool he was doing the burnout myself.
00:16:40.904 --> 00:16:43.145
But back to the case.
00:16:43.145 --> 00:16:45.009
I want to talk about this letter sent out from Mooresville Christian Academy.
00:16:45.009 --> 00:16:48.455
This letter email was sent out back in December of 2024.
00:16:48.455 --> 00:16:50.557
Let's read the letter and then we'll talk about it.
00:16:50.557 --> 00:17:00.409
Dear MCA family, I want to update you on the truth of the reason why Mr Wessel is no longer at MCA.
00:17:00.409 --> 00:17:06.248
Mr Wessel was hired several years ago and over the years we have investigated some inappropriate teacher behavior.
00:17:06.248 --> 00:17:11.178
These behaviors have not been sexual acts, criminal acts etc.
00:17:11.178 --> 00:17:15.736
And the behaviors have been found not to be true.
00:17:15.736 --> 00:17:25.174
All accusations have been investigated and CPS has been called in on the accusations, even when the student involved states this did not happen.
00:17:25.174 --> 00:17:29.674
All accusations have been screened out or unfounded.
00:17:30.678 --> 00:17:39.970
Accusations have been screened out or unfounded, but over the years parents continue to spread child abuse and misconduct rumors about Mr Wessel.
00:17:39.970 --> 00:17:44.038
I am very disappointed because I have investigated every single accusation.
00:17:44.038 --> 00:17:54.865
Mr Wessel is not perfect and he did make some inappropriate statements, but these were dealt with and he did make some inappropriate statements, but these were dealt with.
00:17:57.505 --> 00:17:59.608
With these accusations about Mr Wessel, we put certain measures into action to protect him and MCA.
00:17:59.608 --> 00:18:03.115
One of these measures included no texting a student individually.
00:18:03.115 --> 00:18:13.140
A student brought some text messages to us that were not sexual in nature no pictures, nothing criminal but this behavior was a violation of our agreement.
00:18:13.140 --> 00:18:20.795
Again, there is a back story that was verified by the parent involved, but this action is still a violation of our agreement.
00:18:22.205 --> 00:18:31.538
Mr Wessel has worked extremely hard to make MCA better and he has made an amazing impact in the lives of so many MCA students.
00:18:31.538 --> 00:18:41.175
Unfortunately, in this situation, this letter is to inform you that, moving forward, Mr Wessel is no longer employed at MCA.
00:18:41.175 --> 00:18:43.712
Please pray for him and his family.
00:18:43.712 --> 00:18:45.692
Bruce Peters, head of the school.
00:18:46.865 --> 00:18:47.066
Boy.
00:18:47.066 --> 00:18:50.016
He was sure working hard all right, but it wouldn't make the school better.
00:18:50.565 --> 00:18:51.757
Wow, can you believe this letter?
00:18:51.757 --> 00:18:52.826
No, but it wouldn't make the school better, wow.
00:18:52.717 --> 00:18:52.795
Can you believe this letter?
00:18:52.795 --> 00:18:54.009
No, that's insane.
00:18:54.009 --> 00:18:55.734
What the fuck.
00:18:59.689 --> 00:19:00.653
I'm in shock.
00:19:00.653 --> 00:19:04.736
All the accusations have been screened out or unfounded.
00:19:04.736 --> 00:19:09.454
Has every accusation screened by who?
00:19:09.454 --> 00:19:10.698
Screened by the school?
00:19:11.906 --> 00:19:17.012
I mean they say they called DCS, but we don't know for a fact that they did.
00:19:17.445 --> 00:19:24.295
Well, in the probable cause affidavit they said they contacted DCS but DCS never contacted.
00:19:24.295 --> 00:19:28.121
You know the person who reported that.
00:19:29.586 --> 00:19:34.198
Mr Peters, that's why you're head of a school and not an investigator.
00:19:34.198 --> 00:19:36.030
Shit like that comes up.
00:19:36.224 --> 00:19:40.816
People need to contact investigators and let them do their job, both of them.
00:19:40.977 --> 00:19:41.557
Absolutely.
00:19:42.365 --> 00:19:43.784
And then he goes on to continue.
00:19:43.784 --> 00:20:05.415
But over the years, so over the years, parents keep continuing to come to you reporting this abuse and misconduct about Mr Wessel, and you're mad at them Because you investigated every single accusation.
00:20:06.825 --> 00:20:08.510
Yeah, it's almost like he's pissed off.
00:20:08.510 --> 00:20:15.838
Over the years, teachers and students have made such bad rumors about Mr Wessel.
00:20:15.838 --> 00:20:18.653
God bless his Adderall-given ass.
00:20:19.925 --> 00:20:24.298
And the accusations were so serious.
00:20:24.298 --> 00:20:29.542
You can see that in this letter the accusations were so serious.
00:20:29.542 --> 00:20:28.309
You can see that in this letter With the accusations, they even put in certain measures.
00:20:28.309 --> 00:20:43.012
They said they put certain safety standards into action, meaning into place oh, I read that wrong To protect him and not the students.
00:20:44.265 --> 00:20:56.481
That's a little bit fucked up, I have to say, not the students, that's a little bit fucked up, I have to say, and I'm sure there's nothing wrong with 99% of Mooresville Christian Academy there is a hell of a lot of nice teachers and nice academic shit going on there.
00:20:57.683 --> 00:20:59.989
Wow, I'm I'm confused.
00:21:00.792 --> 00:21:03.272
Yeah, I have to say I'm a little bit confused too.
00:21:04.385 --> 00:21:06.252
So I got um.
00:21:06.252 --> 00:21:26.798
A follower sent me some screenshots that came from I believe it was Angela Ganote's comment section and in the screenshots it says at the top of it letter to president of MCA and it's to Mr Wright and what this is?
00:21:26.798 --> 00:21:50.419
It's like a documentation of a school board meeting and all these complaints and concerns these parents have had and they're like in bulletin points and then below that it has in red the conclusion of whatever allegation that it was all at the time.
00:21:50.419 --> 00:22:02.931
Now it says, mr, right upon seeking legal counsel, we are sending this email to document concerns shared in the recent board meeting on september 27, 2022.
00:22:02.931 --> 00:22:12.810
After further thought and prayer, we feel the numerous concerns we have raised regarding Mr Wessel have been inadequately addressed.
00:22:12.810 --> 00:22:29.417
We also have concerns that our children continue to have regular contact with Mr Wessel as the only adult in the classroom, despite being led to believe that efforts have been made to eliminate his independent supervision of the children.
00:22:30.486 --> 00:22:53.698
In November 2021, parents communicated that their children reported that Mr Wessel was allegedly showing inappropriate videos in class, allowing children to watch inappropriate videos in class, using bad language in class and allowing children to do the same, and this is what the school's reply to that allegation was.
00:22:55.405 --> 00:23:01.636
This alleged incident was investigated and was not found to be inappropriate.
00:23:01.636 --> 00:23:08.256
As the allegation above infers, mr Wessel received coaching on proper classroom management.
00:23:10.165 --> 00:23:20.119
So he was watching inappropriate videos, allowing kids to watch and cussing using bad language, and he got a little bit of coaching on proper classroom management.
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:22.467
Wow, here's the second bullet point.
00:23:22.467 --> 00:23:30.567
In April of 2022, a parent witnessed an inappropriate interaction with Mr Wessel anda, female child, in the hallway.
00:23:30.567 --> 00:23:38.573
The parent reported the child was clearly uncomfortable with this interaction, and here's the school's answer to that allegation.
00:23:39.034 --> 00:23:41.566
This alleged incident was investigated.
00:23:41.566 --> 00:23:46.529
Video evidence exists that clearly refutes this allegation.
00:23:46.529 --> 00:23:59.779
Both the video evidence and the follow-up discussion with the student involved in this interaction confirmed that Mr Wessel was simply reminding the student of MCA's cell phone policy for students.
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.321
Oh, mr Wessel boy, he's a stickler on them.
00:24:02.321 --> 00:24:02.981
Rules now.
00:00:01.141 --> 00:00:10.711
00:00:10.711 --> 00:00:12.885
00:00:12.885 --> 00:00:18.071
00:00:18.071 --> 00:00:22.000
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.664
00:00:24.664 --> 00:00:40.506
00:00:40.526 --> 00:00:42.072
00:00:42.072 --> 00:00:42.715
00:00:42.715 --> 00:00:43.115
00:00:43.136 --> 00:00:57.113
00:00:57.113 --> 00:01:00.729
00:01:00.729 --> 00:01:05.572
00:01:07.460 --> 00:01:07.941
00:01:07.941 --> 00:01:13.332
00:01:13.332 --> 00:01:20.073
00:01:21.301 --> 00:01:21.802
00:01:21.802 --> 00:01:25.850
00:01:25.850 --> 00:01:26.513
00:01:28.362 --> 00:01:42.915
00:01:50.670 --> 00:01:54.876
00:01:54.876 --> 00:02:07.612
00:02:07.612 --> 00:02:11.913
00:02:11.913 --> 00:02:19.411
00:02:19.411 --> 00:02:25.063
00:02:25.063 --> 00:02:30.407
00:02:30.407 --> 00:02:41.576
00:02:41.576 --> 00:02:49.247
00:02:49.247 --> 00:02:56.372
00:02:58.020 --> 00:03:03.195
00:03:03.195 --> 00:03:09.930
00:03:09.930 --> 00:03:18.468
00:03:18.468 --> 00:03:21.662
00:03:21.662 --> 00:03:27.902
00:03:27.902 --> 00:03:42.348
00:03:42.348 --> 00:03:52.350
00:03:53.721 --> 00:04:00.008
00:04:00.008 --> 00:04:06.294
00:04:06.294 --> 00:04:11.551
00:04:11.551 --> 00:04:22.733
00:04:22.733 --> 00:04:27.862
00:04:27.862 --> 00:04:31.113
00:04:31.113 --> 00:04:31.916
00:04:31.916 --> 00:04:37.552
00:04:37.552 --> 00:04:45.653
00:04:45.653 --> 00:04:53.971
00:04:55.180 --> 00:05:00.192
00:05:00.192 --> 00:05:07.593
00:05:07.593 --> 00:05:12.571
00:05:12.571 --> 00:05:22.812
00:05:22.812 --> 00:05:28.725
00:05:28.725 --> 00:05:39.954

00:07:28.572 --> 00:07:32.711
