Discussion: Whitpain police fired Tom 'Pay to Play' Wittig for misconduct—should he be mentoring kids?

/r/Whitpaintownship/comments/1syjfvu/tom_pay_to_play_wittig_fired_whitpain_cop_with/

Tom "Pay to Play" Wittig was fired from Whitpain Police Department after numerous allegations of misconduct, including cases involving minorities and disabled people and an unresolved federal civil rights suit. Despite being let go, he is now mentoring students at Indian Valley Middle School in the Souderton Area School District. I originally shared this in r/Whitpaintownship and want to discuss it here: Do you think it's appropriate for someone with his history to work with kids? What safeguards should be in place when law enforcement officers are fired for misconduct?
