Malcolm Thomas needs to come clean! He says that “nothing was reported to him”. What about the financial allegations? Why did his HR director tell me that “Hamrick mysteriously quit”? One poster stated that he would never get his money back now. That is probably true. But ask MA if he got his (or my) money back. kind of suspicious to me that an employee of Tate most likely profited from Hamrick when so many people suffer. More to come!

Hamrick is one sick dude. How this went on for so long is amazing. Lock him up.

What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty ? Or does that only apply when you are the one being accused of something ? The allegations are serious, but they are just that, allegations. Nothing has been proven in the court of law.
Some of the comments I have read are borderline threats. God bless each of you whom have judged and thrown stones when living in a glass house.

First off Charlie was the one performing the background checks at the church. Very convenient huh. Second, what most dont understand or realize is that all the victims that have come forward (who dont know each other) all have told the same story of how Charlie “lured” them in. What he said, how he acted. He had a MO that he folllwed and it goes all the way back to the 80s. We too trusted our kids at church and at Tate with this man. We thought he was a man of God. After he asked a few way too personal questions about our children we backed away from him as something didn’t seem right. I hope the SOB rots on hell.

I know Harvest does background checks on any and everyone working with children or youth. There was no history of anything wrong as reported by Malcolm Thomas. If something had shown up on his check he would have never been allowed be around children. Maybe if someone had reported him years ago when this first started there wouldn’t have been more victims.

Harvesters has never been a chartered member of Royal Rangers. They only use the Royal Ranger curriculum. Royal Ranger commanders are NEVER allowed to be alone with children. There’s no need to cast a bad shadow on an organization just because someone uses their printed material.

My husband & I were members/attended the same church as him, Sara, his wife & children. We have been to their house for a church get together (pot luck style). I can honestly say I really never talked to him much more than a “Hi, how are you?” all of those years. He was always busy “doing” / working behind the scenes per say. Truly amazes me he had time to do anything w/ children at the church due to being a deacon, door greeter, playing musical instrument, in choir, helped out with the lighting/sound booth, cut the church’s grass, did majority of maintance & other odds & ends too.
He, his wife & children were VERY GOOD friends with Pastor Farley, Heather, his wife & children.
Sara is one of the nicest most sincere & caring person I have ever met in my lifetime! Just truly genuine & ALWAYS doing for others! I honestly do not think she had ANY idea about his DISGUSTING behaviors!!! I could definitely see her leaving him ASAP if she even suspected such a thing!
However my husband says something always bothered him about Charlie, he couldn’t put his finger on it but he just thought he was strange! (Again I never had any interaction with him to judge him one way or another) except thought he was a hard worker (so it appeared)!
Needless to say we were both shocked, mad & BEYOND DISGUSTED when we heard this on the news!
I continue to pray for ALL of his victims (even the ones that have not come forward as I’m sure there are some), their families, Sara, his children & his family! I also pray for all of the people he cheated out of money.
Their house is over the top GORGEOUS! Definitely more beautiful than the Parade of Homes houses & this is saying A LOT! With all the money he cheated people out of I am sure it’s paid for!
I wish they could list each charge with details & omit the names. (Fraud cases only) I couldn’t stomach reading the other DISGUSTING details!
I pray something good comes from this, such as new laws in our schools to prevent this from happening in the future! And I pray ALL CHURCHES wake up & become more aware of who they are allowing to lead in their church!
We ALL NEED to pray for God’s discernment on EVERYTHING in our lives!
*apologize for rambling :-/

I hate the thought of ruining a innocent childhood, but these days we have to consider it a part of raising a child and tell them from an early age if anyone ever touches you “here” come to me, this is a bad person.. It is not to be hidden, no matter what you are told, the person is lying.

I’ve attended harvest a long time come up through Royal Rangers under Mr. Charlie and he never did anything at all what so ever I looked up to him as a man of God and he taught me a lot. I just hope that yall will be slow to accuse and make sure you’re facts are straight befor you jump to conclusions
