Girl reported substitute teacher incident months before charges
Girl reported substitute teacher incident months before chargesThe caller, Samantha Lawrence, runs a group called Predator Hunters Indiana, which places decoy profiles in chat rooms to catch those who target minors. According to court documents filed by the Kent County Sheriff’s Department, it was decoy from Lawrence’s organization that first caught Wardrop’s attention. Lawrence, herself an ABUSE survivor, told Target 8 Wardrop began speaking to her group’s decoy in March and soon revealed he was a substitute teacher. It took some time to gather enough details to identify him, but Lawrence’s group knew from his online profile that Wardrop was somewhere in West Michigan. This prompted her to call various school districts in West Michigan and send them a screenshot of Wardrop during an online chat. Lowell’s superintendent used this image to identify Wardrop. “I was able to match an image sent to our district with video footage of a submarine that appears to be the same person,” Lowell Superintendent Cichocki wrote to Edustaff in a March 20 email. “This sub is called Brett Wardrop. Our middle school secretary recognized the person in the picture sent by the Indiana organization. I have also contacted our school resource officer and he is working with the MICHIGAN STATE Police to keep students safe,” Cichocki wrote. “We are bringing you this received information because the allegations appear to be directed at an Edustaff employee who works in multiple building and school districts across Kent County.” Cichocki went on to inform Edustaff that Wardrop would be banned from all Lowell Area School buildings. At one point, Lawrence said Wardrop unveiled the mascot of one of the counties he worked in: a red hawk.
