Train suicide victim was caretaker accused of abusing disabled kids, Calif. cops say
Deputies have identified a Northern California man killed on Sonoma County train tracks on Tuesday as a 68-year-old caretaker who was accused of sexually abusing disabled kids.
Keith Marcum of Rohnert Park was struck by the SMART train south of Santa Rosa around 9:30 p.m., according to the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies said they are “investigating the incident as a suicide as the train video clearly shows the man laid on the tracks in front of the train moments before impact.”
The death is the third in two weeks on the Sonoma and Marin County train line north of San Francisco, which opened two years ago, according to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.
Marcum represented himself as a certified psychologist and ran an in-home care center for mentally and physically disabled children and adults in Rohnert Park for roughly 30 years, until he was arrested in April on charges of continuous child sexual abuse, sodomy, cruelty to a child and posession of child pornography, according to the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety.

Ex-gays rip Amazon for banning reparative therapy books, keeping pro-suicide books
Amazon is “overtly discriminating against the message of Christ, against our books because of our religious conclusions and messages,” said Mehl. “Jesus does great works in our lives and can even reform a person from the LGBTQ identity and lifestyle.”
“You are lying in justifying censorship of our messages by using the strawman of ‘conversion therapy,’ and then lie that change in sexual orientation isn't possible,” said Mehl.
“Change is possible, Jesus does this work for anyone who calls him Lord and believes and confesses it,” he added.
Amazon: ‘Ex-gay and transgender testimonies are out, but Satan is AOK’
“Isn’t it great that Amazon took my audiobooks down from every platform so they don’t risk offending anyone?” asked Jeremy Schwab, a former homosexual and founder of Joel 2:25, a ministry whose mission is to help men and women who experience same-sex attraction, encouraging relational healing, sexual sobriety, and spiritual growth.
“Let’s see what highly-rated items they are selling right now,” continued Schwab on Facebook. “‘With Prime, if you order in the next 20 minutes, you can have this delivered to your front door tomorrow.’ What a deal!”
