Staying there is also
Staying there is also punishable by death.
Emmanuel, Dying for ones
Emmanuel,
Dying for ones country, with honor, is certainly NOT punishment, my friend, however desertion is, and should be punished VERY harshly (maybe not death but a couple decades at Leavenworth would be sufficient).

Isn't this a threat?
Seems like a threat. Jay, Are
Seems like a threat.
Jay,
Are you charged by the Army with AWOL, or missing a deployment? Are you under any kind of confinement or restriction? If not, then you should be able to make the 3 hour drive from Fort Drum and maybe give Howard an interview.
Jay, its one thing, to leave
Jay, its one thing, to leave the service for an injury, and another, to threaten to hack into someones e-mail. It is a threat, Id like to see you try. Is the Army aware of your cyber threat? Its no way to conduct yourself, when representing your country. Calm Down and realize, this is Batavia. People jump to conclusions around here, every day. How you deal with it is up to you.
I never understood why the punishment was so severe for going AWAL anyway. You mean to tell me, if one of our sons or daughters ran home, out of fear of being killed in Iraq, we would send them to Levenworth for a couple of years?? Thats crazy!
I guess until any of these "Brave Batavians" have walked a day, in a 50 lb kevlar vest, in 100 degree desert weather, dodging bullets and bombs, seeing your buddies, and civilions, blown to bits, leaving your home, to give your life, for your country, can any of us pass judgement...
My sympathy is with the two
My sympathy is with the two children found wandering on route 33. So, Christine and Jay, if your argument is that he went AWOL to care for his children because you were unable to...I'm not buying it. My only question is...where was he when the children were endangered?
Karen, Yes, we can pass
Karen,
Yes, we can pass judgement. Some on this site have served, and didn't end up on any AWOL list.
In addition, you take and oath and sign a contract to serve. There is even time to drop out while first in training.
There is also a procedure in place to address sudden and unplanned family care issues, if any. But not reporting to duty is not one of them.
i am just as mad at him about
i am just as mad at him about it as you all are...how do u think i felt when i got a phone call at 11 in the morning about my children almost being killed. i understand you dont feel bad a wouldnt either but to pass judgment on someone you dont know and have never met is wrong to. everyone makes mistakes...i bet you have to. but how do u think he feels... his kids are his everything and for him to know he failed as a father that day kills him inside. i think you all need to just mind your business and worried about your own lives and your own problems....if you all ask me i think you all need to get a life and stay out of ours.....you are no better then us...and if u think you are you think wrong...like ive said a million times everyone makes mistakes...this one just happens to be bigger then others...now please stay out of our business
i apologize it wasnt a threat
i apologize it wasnt a threat it was an over reaction which is childish on my part, now if it makes everyone happy the army is throwing me in levenworth for a long time so i hope all of you are happy that my children now will be w/o a father
So is your real name
So is your real name Christina Sanchez or Christina Schutt?
Your account profile should use your real name accordingly.
As for this statement: "a batavia news website that isn't even accredited now"
Find me one news organization in the United States that is accredited? It's not the Batavia Daily News. It's not the Buffalo News. It's not the New York Times. It's not CBS or CNN. It's not even Stars and Stripes. So what are you talking about?
Hey Jay- I can guarantee you
Hey Jay- I can guarantee you no one on this site is happy you are going to prison. But face it, you made a poor choice, and it's time to deal with the consequences. I hope when you have served your time, you are able to rejoin your family and get on with your life. God bless you
An amazing bit of theatrics.
An amazing bit of theatrics. The drama of relating the story to put the man, who endangered the lives of his children, in a postive light is admirable but misguided.
Everyone makes mistakes, true. But could you casually brush aside his mistake if the children were harmed in any way.
AWOL is a breach of contract. It isn't something that should be taken lightly. If, in fact, he is headed for Leavenworth then it may be the best place for him. He might be able to get his life in order.
Yes, threatening to hack the emails of those who post to this site was a childish reaction, but it should also be taken seriously. Hacking accounts, and admitting that one knows what to do in order to cause another person's account harm is serious business.
Belittling this side as not accredited was another childish statement. Are you getting the thread here? Childish. This man/child is the person to whom you trust the lives of your children?
You may think we are critical of your situation, but each child in our area is our concern. Their safety is important. We trust thier parents to treat them as the treasures they are.
When an adult abuses that trust, it becomes the concern of everyone in the community.
This man has not given any indication that he was trustworthy or honest. He stated, above, that his superiors knew of his situation. Now we learn he is going to Leavenworth. If the first statement was true, then why is he headed to Kansas?
For the past number of years,
For the past number of years, most soldiers, male or female, who have gone AWOL over verifiable family issues, have not gone to Leavenworth. Most are reduced in rank to private (E-1), loss of all pay and benefits, maybe fined, and given a Dishonorable Conduct discharge (not something you want to go through life with). Some are allowed to stay in the service, but reduced in rank, fined and other restrictions. Each case is judged separately.
Could be wrong on this, but I bet there is more to his AWOL than just family problems.
Even the military has due
Even the military has due process. Somebody isn't going to be arrested one day and a few days later already know he's going to Leavenworth. Court systems just don't work like that.
C’mon, let’s not be coy.
C’mon, let’s not be coy. This thread is not about watching out for children, or military members’ responsibilities, etc.
It’s ironic that four or five sentences from a police report results in self righteous outcry yet several personal posts begging for a little crumb of compassion invokes nothing but an uproar over which website account is being accessed, arrogant demands for explanations and apparently, alibis.
To assume absolute, unequivocal guilt is not only unconstitutional and absurd, it’s damn scary.
Really, it was pretty obvious that whoever posted the “accredited” comment was unaware of or confused by the correct definition of the word; and the “threat” made in frustration. I’m getting heated and this has absolutely nothing to do with me.
See, that’s the point. It has nothing to do with any of us. Beat your breast all you want, this is nothing but gossip.
I’m fairly confident the appropriate authorities will somehow manage to sort all of this out themselves. They might even choose to rely on obscure things such as evidence and proof, rather than uninformed judgments and unverified information presented as fact.
I hope Christina and/or Jay considers deleting their posts. This thread has made me sick.
I agree Julie. How about a
I agree Julie. How about a little compassion? We've all made mistakes. Let's just hope that Christina and Jay learn from their mistakes and get the help that they need to move on with their lives and be positive role models for their children.
Julie, points well
Julie, points well taken.
However, when someone comes into the site they should expect feedback, good or bad.
People don't announce they will hack email sites and brag that they know how.
Nor do they relate conflicting stories about their plight.
Each of these were an invitation to comment.
In fairness to Mr. Schutt, he
In fairness to Mr. Schutt, he apologized for that threat and admitted it was childish.
Beth, Somebody apologized,
Beth,
Somebody apologized, using the name Christina. It may have been him or his wife doing it for him. Depending on his status at Fort Drum, he may or may not have access to a computer.
John, all of the comments
John, all of the comments have been made from a computer in Batavia -- all the same IP address.
Howard, Hard to use a Batavia
Howard,
Hard to use a Batavia computer from Fort Drum, and I doubt they let him come back home for a visit so soon.
This is sooooo confusing.
This is sooooo confusing. All I know is I feel very sorry for these children...they are obviously suffering because of bad decisions of others. That said, I do give credit to whomever did the apologizing. For them to say it was childish was well...brave. I know people who couldn't apologize if their lives depended on it...let alone say it was childish.
I'm with Lorie... These poor
I'm with Lorie... These poor kids. Possession charges, unfit parents... Regardless of excuses, Child endangement investigations aren't just picked at random. Obviously there is way more going on with this family than just Awols and poor judgement. My heart goes out to these children. I hope the parents can pull it all together and give these kids what they need.
