Principal Arrested

Mrs. Henderson

I am appaled at the citizens of New Iberia who have already thrown a good man to th wolves! Mr. Sias was not formerly charges nor indicted on these charges. He was arrested. Maybe most people do not know what arrested actually means! I have been knowing Mr. Sias for over 30 yrs and NEVER would I have even fathomed that these allegations were true. I know the penal system quite well and I am certain that the truth will prevail. It isn't uncommon for the newspapers ,media , and police to quickly slander someone's reputation. And after they have done that, they issue a one-lined retraction! Amazing! It is in time's like these that we need to stick together. Now everyone has negative things to say about Mr. Sias but when he helped your child or generated money into your schools or talked to your out of control teen, he wasnt so bad then! I, for one, will wait to see the outcome of this because I know that Mr. Sias would not submit himself to such scrutiny so easily. You are not who you hang around contrary to popular belief. He hung around neglected, untrained, and miscreants all day every day for the past 3 years. Werent these children somone's child? Why was the Alternative School opened again? If parents would correctly rear their children then the school would not exist. Mr. Sias is somone's brother, son and father.  If this was your son or daughter, would you just automatically write them off as you have done to Mr. Sias? Has New Iberia Police Department never made a mistake of this capacity? I pray for all of you! Not so much for Mr. Sias because he was aware of the racial divide going in and never did he waiver. Can you say the same? I also wonder if the apologies will fly as high as the accusations? I love Mr. Sias dearly and I will always be here for him. I want to be the one he remembers as a "friend that sticks closer than any brother" not one who ran when times got tough. I'm here Mr. Sias. ALL THE WAY TO THE FINISH LINE!
