Molest case hearing held

Sorry, you wait THAT long to report it, tough. Lesson learned. Besides, who's to say that they aren't making false accusations ? I've seen it before, where a loser woman and her daughter would claim they were molested, when , in fact, they were just being vindictive beehotches, nothing more. All it takes these days is an accusation to ruin some guy's life. No proof required if two psycho tweeker tramps decide to make up a story together.
Look, there has to be some physical proof, not just the word of someone who waited 20 years to tell someone. There should be a statute of limitations invoked on this one.
If the guy did it, he will pay for it in the long run. But accusing someone of something 20 years later is not gonna fly.

It's too bad, because this will turn into a he-said she-said battle, and the only ones that will prosper from this are the bloodsucking lawyers, who will drag this throught the courts for years to come...unless, of course, the Cantrells confess.

I'm a lawyer it all we can do for the kids here how about the case worker not doing they job by checking on kids did they go to school,how about the dentist,doctor.what did they eat everyday. the kids are not talking,the Cantrell are not talking.

You're a lawyer? I highly doubt it, because your writing, speaking and punctuation skills are pathetic.

I grew up around these foster children, and the biological children of the Cantrell's. They did treat their foster children different. While the biological children were in Pop warner cheerleading, and football......the other 5-6 foster children got to sit in the bleachers as the "parents" gloated over their two biological children. The foster children were dressed in rags, while the Bio kids had only the best.However: The fact that this issue was brought up after 20 years, makes me think.....Liar! I know another women in Vacaville that makes these accusations so she can sue and get $. Some people are so miserable in their own lives, they feel the need to destroy someone else's. This is a very serious accusation to make. Bring it in front of a jury....99% chance he is going to jail/Prison. They just don't want to take the chance of being wrong! No matter what the evidence/or no evidence is a jury will convict. Such a sad world we live in. How many other children have they cared for??? How many others has he done this to? Chances are some others would have been questioned, or come forward by now. What a damn shame.......We cant trust anyone now, Can we?

the son stated he had never seen pornography at the Cantrell home...the son is lying!!!!!

If you're a lawyer you should know you shouldn't type and drive. It's dangerous you dummy. I don't think you could spell sitting still in a quite room.

abusing them. If one of the victims is accused of molesting a younger brother, is it possible she learned it from John Cantrell or Margaret Cantrell? Molestation is a cycle that keeps repeating itself; without intensive intervention..

Has it occured to anyone this girl was molested from her original caregivers/parents and not the Cantrell's. Yes, the cycle does continue; but who knows when it originally started.

This woman's (the accuser) husband molested a child and when John and Margie found found out they reported him. This is when the accuser came forward and said "oh, by the way, John molested me". She is trying to get back at him.

For the people saying John and Margie didn't treat their Foster children as well as their own...that is hearsay. They have taken in many children over the years and have adopted a great deal of them. The children still come around. If they were so mistreated, wouldn't they just move on after they become adults? They all still get together with their "Mom and Dad".

I hope no-one out there is ever accused of this...you are definately guilty until proven innocent and still after that people will think it was true.

Molestation is a major issue in this world. The people who harm our children have a way of manipulating the child's mind. That way the child does not say anything, is confused and is clueless about what steps to take.

The men and women who harm our children know they have the capability to get away with molestation, because they know how the legal system works and they know that most people will not believe the child. So they go on and get their sexual gradification with our children for years on end.

Then the person who is harming the child goes on with life harming one child after another for years. Children are so helpless in this situation that is why they say noththing until they grow up.

Then the children who were molested grow up. At this point they have knowledge of how it was wrong then they have the confidence to say something.

The victims should not have to act physiologically off balanced to proof anything everyone who thinks it happened or not.

Believe me. My former husband molested my niece and he manipulated her mind and created fear in her. She hesitated to say anything for years. Then she finally said something to me when she turned 30.

My former husband admitted that he did do it and his remark was "So what I had your niece get over it"! To this day he is very proud of how he got away with what he did to my family members, because he knew no one would believe it.

By the way my former husband lives on North West street. So do you feel safe living in Vacaville?

Why is it ok for people to do childcare and get paid but if a person does foster care and they get paid it is wrong, why?

. They kept taking more in all the while neither of them worked, they took the kids in for the money. F "neither of them worked" foster care is a full time job and then some.Oh yes, they should get paid,they either work for the government or a private agency.

"LifetimeVacavillian "unless you know the family that's not the best statement to make. I have known them and went to school with them for years, and let me just say that the "do-gooder" Cantrells did NOT take care of their foster and adoptive children as one would pray that they would. They kept taking more in all the while neither of them worked, they took the kids in for the money.
I was responding to this stupid comment>

In response to Jackson1, John now has a completely white beard and his wife's hair is no longer blond but she is heavy set. My family lives in the same development as they do and the stories about them are frightening. Their house smells worse than a veterinary clinic before the cages have been cleaned and probably is not as clean.

When you try to talk to the kids at school (when they are at school) they put their heads down and don't make eye contact. This goes for the teenagers as well as the younger ones. These people are definitely into foster care for the money and/or other gratification. In my opinion, the courts would do the world a favor by locking these two up and throwing away the key.

To VVNative: You must be a relative of the Cantrells to believe that the husband of the victim molested a child. That is just one more lie Margie thought would cast aspersions away from John. Wake up!

Concerned Texan is right. In September 2005, John Cantrell's grown daughter (I'll call her "J") first reported to the authorities that John had molested her as a child and that John's wife Margie had known about it but done nothing. A second of John's grown daughters then made similar allegations to the authorities, and a third daughter said she'd long known about the molestation of the other two, and that Margie had told them to keep it all secret. In February 2007, more than a year after J first went to the authorities, a young foster child living with John and Margie in Texas claimed that J's husband had been part of the Mineola Swinger's Club. I agree with Concerned Texan -- Margie and John were just manipulating this foster child and trying to discredit J and her husband. The husband of J has never been arrested or charged for being part of the Club. It's just a fabrication of John and Margie to take the heat off John. I believe the three grown daughters -- they have no financial or other motive to make false allegations. They are not the sort of people who would tell lies about something like this.

To say that the other foster children still come around "as family" and still call John and Margie "Mom & Dad" that is a lie! That is NOT what is going on with this family, John & Margie only speak with them if it will benefit them in some way. Not only do they not get together but there are grandchildren they have never seen from their foster & adopted children. So your statement on that is so not true at all and you KNOW it. All this can go and on and on with all the different sides of the story. GOD KNOWS THE TRUTH AND I PRAY THAT THE TRUTH WILL BE REVEALED! We all need to protect our children from anyone that might do these things.
