An elementary school teacher was recently charged for abusing several students during the 90’s. Although he had committed this crime he was not arrested because there was not sufficient amount of evidence that found him guilty. But twenty years later two girls claimed to have been abused by this professor. LAPD started to investigate and found out that several other students were being molested. Mark Berndt was sent to prison also known as a total institution- where he will be separated from the rest of society. I believe that Burndt should pay the consequences of his actions. What he did was morally wrong and no child should have to go through that experience. The government should work harder in capturing individuals that commit crimes such as in the case of Berndt. I find it difficult to believe that this man was not found guilty back in the 90’s. He has harmed to many children to even count and I personally believe that the LAPD should have acted in a faster manner.
