But do-gooders will also not be denied their shot at social martyrdom.

And so it was that the 29-year-old deviant from Abbotsford, B.C. was recently the beneficiary of the caring professions’ largesse.

A subcontractor with Community Living B.C. (CLBC) sat in his car — for two-and-a-half hours — while Dueck allegedly sexually assaulted an 11-year-old girl at a Lower Mainland equestrian centre on Feb. 9. The centre was left in the dark that Dueck was a violent pedophile.

Shhhhhh.

His latest go-round with cops left him on probation after he served a 12-month provincial court sentence for sexually touching a 10-year-old child. That was two months after he wrapped up a four-and-a-half-year federal sentence for sexual assault and sexual assault with a weapon.

Whose stupid idea was this? What obtuse individual said, “Damn, let’s sort Tyler Dueck out with horseback riding lessons where there are lots of kids!” What could possibly go wrong?

“It is the absolute most unbelievable string of incompetent decision-making that one can even imagine,” B.C. Premier David Eby said in the legislature on Wednesday.

The do-gooders told the equestrian centre that their man was developmentally delayed and would be under the supervision of a support worker. No mention of subcontracting here.

He was enrolled in a program that mostly caters to children and teenagers. Of course, one of the stipulations in his probation was that he was to stay away from kids and wooded areas.

And when the equestrian centre boss asked the social worker who enrolled Dueck if they knew his vile history, “Yes” was the answer. But, but, but … we have to protect the pedophile’s privacy.

The Parole Board of Canada’s verdict on Dueck was dire: “(A) well above average risk for future sexual offending.”

When the notoriously understanding parole board raises a red flag, you know you have a very big problem. CLBC, politicians and the public are rightly horrified. This is not simply a B.C. issue or the failure of any one organization or individual, it is from the Atlantic to the Pacific and it is system-wide.

Crimes against children are simply not taken seriously, nor are the sick losers who commit them. People like Tyler Dueck.

When Dueck was released by the feds — he served his full sentence, alarmed cops in his hometown of Abbotsford issued a warning. Several days later, police were informed he wasn’t in Abbotsford but Mission, the Abbotsford News reported.

This was the guy who went down in 2014 for violent sexual assaults on four teen girls. There were also unproven allegations of kissing a five-year-old girl, groping a nine-year-old girl during a game of hide-and-seek, and threatening to post sexually explicit snapshots of a girl if she didn’t have sex with him.

Dueck was torpedoed for day and full parole in 2018. The parole board wasn’t in much of a mood for hard-luck stories, instead, they expressed deep fears. While caged, the sex offender tried to minimize his sordid offences.

The parole board warned that Dueck was “likely to commit an offence causing death or serious harm to another person.”

And that person would almost assuredly be a child as per his orientation.

With all this information at their fingertips, someone still thought horseback lessons in a target-rich environment would be the Rx for Tyler Dueck.
