Perverted Children's Book Author

A visit to an elementary school didn't have a fairy tale ending for a Baltimore children's book writer after he made what he says was a joking comment to a 10 year old that she should take off her clothes if she wanted his autograph on her face as she requested. The Baltimore Sun reported.

Richard Lynn Stack, who makes appearances in classrooms across the United States with his dogs in tow, has been banned from visiting other public schools in Harford County after an April 16 incident at Abingdon Elementary School. A student in attendance asked Stack to sign his name on her forehead, school district spokesman Dan Morrison told the Sun.

Stack replied with an equally absurd request: He would autograph her forehead if she climbed on the cafeteria table and undressed.

Parents of a few other schoolchildren who overheard the comments reported Stack, who explained to Abington officials that he was joking and had deliberately said something ridiculous to match the oddity of the question.

When contacted by Sun reporters, Stack characterized the situation as "ludicrous."

"I had a great time at the school and was very well received," Stack said in a prepared statement, adding that hundreds of students and a dozen staff members were within earshot of the exchange. "I am confident everyone there connected with my visit knows that nothing improper was intended."

Is this guy nuts or what? I can't help but think how that little girl felt when the author that she admired and wanted an autograph from, responded so inappropriately. That remark would have been wrong even if she were an adult!

probebly not the smartest thing he coulde have said

It was a compliment! He thought she was cute! lol

you are so wrong,

An adult male asking a female child to remove her clothing, however jokingly meant, would not be well received anywhere! If he wanted to make a "silly" response, he might have asked her to dance a jig, or do a handstand, or something like that, IMO. Something that people can't find sexual undertones in.

Am I, cool!

It was a good thing the little girl wasn't an aspie. If she takes things too literally ...

Completely inappropriate of course. Just an example of some hack who markets his own stuff on Amazon and his own web page and thinks that he's funny.

Apparently, he is not.

I wouldn't have done it... At that age, I would've most likely ran to the teacher and told her what he had said to me. Nowadays, I would've told him off and then told a teacher. lol

Imbecile. Who'd say that to a kid. You'd even hesitate before even joking like that to an adult....

im glad that pedo was banned perverted men like that should never be allowed close to children

Yes it was a stupid thing to say, but i would not be too hard on him. I know i have said many things without thinking too much beforehand.
Sure, i would expect better from a children's author, but to call him a peado is ludicrous.

edit: i think a paedophile would be far more sneaky in his methods.

a loose toungue often shows the real motive

but you are right in a sense, i was quick to judge
but these type of subjects make my blood boil and i dnt see both sides when im angry
thnx for pointing out my swift and errored judgement

so what?

well his real motive has been found out and hes no longer able to visit schools
which has probly saved a child from the pain of abuse

I'm sure if he is a paedo, then he will find them elsewhere.
As for his real motive, how do you know?

edit: i have not read the full article.
Was his house searched and evidence found?
