Shelley Walcott: Don't Tell The Boss
The true view from the field and desk.
Thursday was a tough day for me professionally.
My assignment: To do a follow up story on Joel Hochmuth, the (now former) communications director for the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, who was charged with possessing and distributing child porn.
The problem: Joel and I know each other. We worked side-by-side years ago at CNN, producing segments on a show called "CNN Student News".
Fate led us both to Milwaukee. It also forced our paths to cross in the worst possible way...
I believe child porn is one of the worst things that happens in this world. I think people who want to see a child victimized in this way is sick, and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
