On 09-13, 2010, a mother of a female 2nd grader expressed concerns to the principal after her daughter reported to her that Joynes asked her if she wanted to crawl into his lap.  Also, it was reported that Joynes asked the child if she had a special pillow she slept on and did she dream of Joynes, and, she was told by Joynes that the conversation was a "secret".
