A former Virginia pastor and daycare operator has been sentenced to 6 years in prison. We are glad he will spend time behind bars, but believe children would be safer if his sentence was longer.

James Daley was the pastor at Beth Eden Lutheran Church in Luray and him and his wife operated a day care center out of their home. The allegations of abuse against Daley stem from his time as a pastor and from the day care.

We urge officials to reach out to everyone who attended the day care and Beth Eden church and ask them if they saw, suspect or suffered abuse. When victims find the courage to speak up predators are exposed and children are safer.
