No one at the school or the church has reported any complaints against him for inappropriate contact with children.
The Bells have had custody of more than 30 boys and girls through the foster care program.

The Allegations

The allegations were brought to the attention of police when one of the foster children disclosed them to a police officer at church. There were no previous complaints through the foster care agency of any misconduct with children.
