🚨 ONE. OF. THE. ADULTS.
LifeWise assures parents that children are NEVER left alone with a single adult. Yet here they are, telling a child that ONE adult can escort her to the bathroom.
When you take public school children out of their schools, where they routinely use the restroom alone or with other children, and then insist an adult accompany them, YOU’D BETTER BE FOLLOWING YOUR OWN DAMN CHILD PROTECTION POLICIES.
Your policies and assurances mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING if you aren’t enforcing them.
THESE ARE CHILDREN. THEIR SAFETY IS NOT OPTIONAL. And parents shouldn’t have to catch these discrepancies on video to start asking questions.

What people are saying:
- Secular Education Association: 📌 LIFEWISE’S OWN POLICIES:
📄 Program Handbook, §303.2, p. 22: TWO screened adults required when a child needs bathroom assistance.

📄 LifeWise’s June 2026 assurance: “Students are never left one-on-one with a single adult during LifeWise programming.”
Now listen to the pastor instruct ONE adult to take this child to the restroom. So explain how that complies with your supervision requirements?
- Facebook User: People who still continue to support Lifewise blow my mind.
- Facebook User: What in the actual f#%k?
- Facebook User: Facebook User that’s what im saying
- Facebook User: Is the building not secure? Is that why a child must be escorted by an adult?
- Secular Education Association: Facebook User That’s a question we’d like answered, too. If the building isn’t secure enough for a third grader to use the restroom independently, that’s a problem. And if an adult escort is required, how is LifeWise ensuring its own child protection policies are being followed? Either way, seriously concerning.

🚨Here’s a small list of the problematic LIFEWISE STAFF scandals!
This doesn’t ever cover the issues with the targeting of children with propaganda on school property or loss of education time that LifeWise Academy causes!Renee Beck who lost her teaching license permanently for sexting with minors at a public school to be a director of Lifewise. Their check failed. They didn’t even Google her!
Christopher Riggs, a LifeWise staff member and pastor, resigned in November 2025 from LifeWise after the 3rd crime. He has pleaded guilty to child SA crimes. He was sentenced to 17 months and must register as a sex offender.

https://www.whio.com/news/local/man-who-worked-with-children-arrested-rape-charges/34TICC3ZCBB6PLKHBULI6JFXIU/William Thomas Vansickle, Lifewise Northern Local (Somerset, Ohio) was a crossing guard for the program. He has been charged with child SA last November.

LifeWise Safety Concerns: Criminal Cases, Vetting Failures, and Concerning Affiliations
When programs move children to unsecured second locations during the school day, those risks multiply!!! Is your child safe?
☆They left and lost a child!
In Decatur, IN a 7 year old was left behind. She emerged to an empty building from the bathroom. Determined to get back to safety, the terrified child started walking back in freezing temperatures. Several adults stopped, she finally accepted to walk back with a stranger who brought her back to her elementary school! This story could have ended so badly. This is why we fight against programs where this kind of thing has ZERO OVERSIGHT!! They are trying to cover it up now!https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AhWxVv5W2/
Listen to the Mom: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1GfC1qwjnr☆This is now the 2nd child they havd admitted to losing.

- Facebook User: Why is a 3rd grader not allowed to go to the bathroom by themselves??
- Secular Education Association: Facebook User we would love to know.
- Facebook User: Secular Education Association I hate everything about this video. The way he speaks to her is awful!
- Secular Education Association: Facebook User Agreed. And it’s more than his tone. She’s a little girl asking to use the bathroom, and he’s making her justify how urgently she needs to go. Why is a grown man interrogating a child about a basic bodily function? Then there’s the insistence that an adult accompany her. The entire interaction raises questions about dignity, boundaries, and child safety. It’s disturbing on multiple levels.
- Facebook User: Facebook User Exactly! Someone’s grandpa needs a timeout.
- Facebook User: Secular Education Association the tone and the words he is using makes my stomach turn
- Facebook User: Why does going to the bathroom have to reach emergency status anyway?
- Facebook User: Facebook User where’s your comment on this?
- Facebook User: Facebook User are you not smart enough to cirtically think about this here? The post says “they” and then shows a clip of 1 dude talking. the person in that news headline clip was not working for in any capacity with Lifewise at the time of the incident.
Let me ask you in return. All the sexual abuse that occurs at public schools ( where most sexual abuse against minors occur) you’re on the school pages rallying against those schools right?
- Facebook User: Facebook User are you not smart enough to cirtically think about this here? The post says “they” and then shows a clip of 1 dude talking. the person in that news headline clip was not working for in any capacity with Lifewise at the time of the incident.
- Facebook User: Facebook User let’s review the facts and then think critically, shall we?
1. This gentleman is a LifeWise staff member. Not following LifeWise guidelines. Talking to a child inappropriately. It took me 5 minutes to find this guy.
2. The headline reminds folks that FOUR pedophiles have been found, so far, in the program. More in churches that indirectly support LifeWise. One that had KNOWN conduct before she was hired but the background check package either didn’t cover professional licenses or they knew and ignored.
3. Renee Beck was a school teacher who was fired. So when you want to talk about ignoring things- check your own backyard first.
4. Why even have child care policies if you won’t follow them. Are they for show as much as the background checks are?
- Facebook User: Facebook User I noticed you conveniently glossed over the fact not a single one of the THREE former Lifewise affiliates were ever charged with misconduct during Lifewise programming or were involved with any LifeWise students. Renee was fired once she was found out to have not reported her prior allegations. Renee was never charged with a crime.
So again, I assume you are all over public school Facebook pages where most institutional child abuse occurs, rallying against the abusers there right? - Facebook User: Facebook User those 3? Not yet. Hopefully parents feel braver and kids start speaking up. Or maybe there’s something else keeping them quiet.
Who knows? But I’ll keep digging.As for Renee. Why didn’t the people hiring her do a better job? Why didn’t the background check cover professional licenses?
There was plenty of news coverage.There’s a ton of oversight when it comes to public schools and abuse.
There’s not much or transparency on Lifewise even though they operate during school hours.
Their issues with consent – No is a complete sentence- irked my rage.
They paid $100k to lobby a law to force it in to my schools. They held a party to celebrate that force. There’s plenty of eyes on public schools.
My eyes are locked on your shady shit.
