When you're on a bunch of drugs and estrogen hormones, you end up doing stuff like this.
Yes, that's trans-identifying male Solomon Galligan, and he simply walked on campus last Friday afternoon during recess at Black Forest Hills Elementary School in Aurora, Colorado, and straight-up tried to steal a kid — and he was almost successful.
Parents were livid, obviously, as school staff remained offscreen during the incident, but luckily the kid who was approached, an 11-year-old boy, was able to shimmy away from Galligan, who dropped to the ground as a result.
Here's what the mother of that child had to say:
‘This has changed his life forever, and my life,' Miranda Ayala told CBS News Colorado. ‘He was touched by somebody else who walked up onto a field at school at recess with other adults that should've been taking care of my son.'
…
Several students told teachers' assistants about the incident, but Ayala said that appeared to have fallen on deaf ears: ‘My son is saying the TAs were on their phones.'
I'm even reading that police weren't called until an hour later and the third graders were allowed to go out to recess after this all went down.
Great job, staff!
So the dude got away, hopping the 3-foot fence that separates the school from the public sidewalk, and then police had to rely on the man's description which was provided by children. Luckily they found him and arrested him and he's now in jail on $25,000 bond.
As for his sex offender status and the whole trans thing:
The suspect, who is identified as male in the arrest affidavit, shared news of his transition on Facebook back in 2011.
‘So im starting my hormone shots and i relly cant wait im on my hormone pills ive been on them for almost 4 months i wake up all depressed and crying but in the end its gonna be totally worth it you know what io mean im really excited my measurements are already changing and im super thrilled,' he wrote.
Galligan was put on the sex offender registry and was convicted that same year of non-consent sexual contact, according to his latest arrest affidavit.
The details regarding that 2011 incident weren't immediately clear.
Very confusing, but this story just goes to show what happens when you mix hormones, drugs, and, I have to assume, depression.
Keep an eye on your kids out there, folks. And don't get lost in that phone like these teachers' assistants did.
