There is no mention of the fact that it was sexual misconduct that was at issue here (at least in the first report that I read). He is a predator, with underage victims no less! I believe I read that he has a prior record of similar misconduct as well. <BR/><BR/>Florida law a provides for legitimate practice of hypnotherapy . The man is St Pete didn't follow the law. <BR/><BR/>The first red flag to me when I read about this was that it mentioned smoke cessation and weight management in the article as the "counseling" he does. That is acceptable under Florida law, as a hypnotist. Sexual misconduct is not.<BR/><BR/>A good lesson for parents though, know who your children spend time with. Ask questions. Listen. It is OK to trust your instincts. If someone makes you uncomfortable, find out why! As the mother of sons, I want to know who the adults as well as peers are in their lives. <BR/><BR/>For hypnotists, the lessons are simple. 1. Don't misrepresent yourself, give your credentials as they are. 2. Sexual activity is not a part of your practice. 3. Sexual activity is never acceptable with minors!<BR/><BR/>The fine people at Unity in St. Pete are heartbroken over this. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059528663560612371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434949928694456370.post-34153793773350361172008-03-05T06:33:00.000-08:002008-03-05T06:33:00.000-08:00That is nasty.
