As an aside, my understanding is that what they found on his computer was computer generated depictions of incestuous parent/child relations...not real images.
Yes, computer generated. But, I would have a problem with him around the kids due to these- but more so with his father's impact on him.

It is just weird that the visits were not reverted to visitations at a center after the last court date- just as a precaution.

Something that I have also been thinking about (and have seen back when I worked in agencies) is the possibility of race being part of why the justice system was not paying attention to red flags with this guy. He was white, educated, well groomed and had no prior record. He did, however have flat affect (saw his interviews last year on the first dateline episode about him).In fact, my guess is if he were a POC, the psych eval would have been required prior to supervised, on site visits. I have seen this far too many times to not wonder about it- and stats demonstrate how white's are far more often given visitation in the child welfare system.
