Wow. I'm feeling pretty sick to my stomach right about now. I grew up in Joplin, and Huling's daughter (sorry, I couldn't muster up a "brother") and I went to school together. She was the maid of honor at our wedding. C. Huling has been pastor in Webb City for a long time, and was presbyter at some point over Section 6.
I've spent the night at their home lots of times, went sledding with their kids, horseback riding. *sigh*
Sickening.

This is a horrible thing to happen..My heart breaks for the child.
When I read the article in the Globe I was upset over the graphic details they told. I do not agree with that, for various reasons.
One thing is even more of her privacy has been violated.
The last 3/4 articles dealing with sexual crimes they have ran, they have been graphic.
What do you think?
I don't believe the victim's privacy is violated since her name wasn't shared. (Although those close to the case will know who she is.)
I think printing graphic details is a simple acknowledgment of the heinous nature of these crimes.

Sorry for you being so connected to this... I do think he was still presbyter, but I may be wrong.

He may be...I don't know.

I wonder if the authorities will check his internet activity for clues of whether he viewed child pornography or for clues of whether he targeted other children.
He wasn't. When it was time to elect --or rather re elect--he withdrew his name.
It certainly is a sad situation and I feel for his poor wife, kids and church.
I had heard rumors of this a few months ago but refused to believe it until something more solid came forth.....
For anyone that knew him--it is quite a shock
myhalo, who is presbyter now?
It definitely is a shock. I would be inclined to defend him...if he hadn't already confessed.
