This Titusville teenager, Ryan Donahue, 18, messed with the wrong child and was arrested for sex crimes against a 5 year old girl.
Police reported that Donahue was left to take care of the child while his parents left the house Thursday and that’s when the most recent molestation occurred.
Donahue I guess thought the victim would not say anything but after she was picked up on Thursday night, the victim told her parents what happened and then the 5 year old told her parents even more disturbing news…
She told her parents there had been other incidents that happened over the last year.
Now police want to talk to everyone that left there children there in case there are more victims.
Right now Donahue faces 3 counts of sexual battery and 3 counts of lewd and lascivious behavior.
Laura Donahue said she is voluntarily closing the day and she feels sad for everyone. Apparently Donahue would leave the children with her son, Ryan, and she would rum errands for different parents while they were working and she would even go as far to provide transportation to some of the children and that left Ryan in charge while she was gone.
Now with the details of the investigation that was released, it was reported that Ryan did admit to at least 6 different occasions where he molested the 5 year old.
Ryan is now a resident of Brevard County jail.
I could not even begin to imagine the grief his mother feels over this incident. Reading other blogs and media reports some people have spoken very highly of Laura Donahue. I hope people can take the time to remember her during there on line comments.
She certainly does not deserve to be attacked or insulted in anyway because of the actions of her son and her choice of religion certainly doesn’t need to be attacked.
No one except anonymous bloggers have even tried to make this into a religious incident and even though it sounds like Ryan Donahue could have used a little more faith and belief in his religion, this case certainly isn’t based on religion. Don’t lose the sight of what happened and try to make it something it’s not.

The Jakester,
Good for you. You are absolutely right. My daughter attended the daycare last year, she is the same age. Of course, my heart stopped for a moment when I saw his face on the news. I was shocked. My heart goes out to the families of everyone involved. I can only imagine the heartbreak his mother is feeling. No one EVER assumes thier child (son in this case) to be capable of this thus, of course feeling he was old enough now to take on the responsibility.
Laura and her husband were always kind to the children and never seemed irritated with any of them. I must add, she had some kiddos that required a lot of extra attention. She was trying to help out by picking up a child. I do not see how religion comes into play with this either. They are in my thoughts and prayers every day.
Anonymous,
Thank you for your comments.
I don’t understand the entire religious crime or the comments people have been making on line about her and her choice of religion.
This is a heartbreaking case to even read about and I as well could never imagine how she feels right now knowing her own son has been arrested for these crimes.
Of course, I did notice that a lot of the religious comments were from anonymous posters.
Anyway, thanks for the comment.
