On another note... pedophiles

We just recently learned our old neighbor was arrested for over 20,000 child pornographic images on his computers and 5 counts of molestation at the all boys group home he worked at. Mind you, he played soccer with our boys in his yard and spent time with them with my FIL while we were working.
I am HIGHLY disturbed by this. My brother and I were molested for 7 years by a family member from the time we were toddlers. I've always been overprotective bc of that. I've had "the talk" with our boys and they claim nothing ever happened. I'm still weary of it.
I always told my husband and my FIL that I didn't like how overly friendly he was with our boys and how non-social he was with us.
All I have to say is trust your instinct! I was right on the money with this 1, and I'm fearing the worst now!

    Very scary. Definitely agree to trust you're instincts. I'm a serious *helicopter mom* and I don't care if people judge me based on that. My babies need me to protect them.

    Good for you for noticing and making sure to keep the lines of communication open with the boys!

    I forgot to say child** pornographic images.

    I hate that this has happened! This has been my worst fear just bc I went through it as a child. I'm glad my boys weren't touched or harmed.

    Very scary! This is my biggest fear, we almost moved in next to a rapist, thank God I checked the police station before signing the lease.

    That is so scary especially when your kids(gender) are the ones they had a preference for. I'm glad your sons went unharmed.

    My 6th grade teacher was arrested a few years back for touching boys. He was my older brothers' 6th grade teacher too (they are now 34 & 36). Even as a 6th grader we could all tell something wasn't right. He used to ask my middle brother to stay after to help with things, but my mom didn't trust him so she was always there. The thing that scares me is in 6th grade you go to Nature's Classroom so he was alone overnight in a cabin with boys for a week every year! He also coached soccer.

    On a side note, there are some good websites that let you search out registered sex offenders in your area for free. I'd highly recommend checking this before moving to a new location

    I fear those monsters when my dd goes to school. I look up sex offenders and gosh their all over the place, even near schools!!

    I trust my instincts always. I even trusted my instincts with my own step children and glad i did. Suffice to say we have disowned them. They are a pair or vile humans and narcissistic pricks. Truely pieces of $hit.

    That is really scary! Good for your for trusting your instincts! There is a great book about this called Protecting the Gift about keeping children safe, highly recommend it!

    That's horrible. So glad your boys are okay!
    I just read yesterday that a guy I went to school with my whole life was arrested on child pornography charges. I ALWAYS thought he was creepy. Like to the point where in 3rd or 4th grade I asked my mom to call his mom and tell him to leave me alone. He wasn't even doing anything to me, he just made me uncomfortable every time he talked to me. Even my 10 year old gut instinct was right on that one.

    Good for you for trusting your instincts! I'm so sorry you and your brother had to experience that first hand. Its awful, and its something I wish no person on Earth had to go through.

    I searched a website called watch dog. It tells you where they live and everything about them.luckily I live near an elementary school and in GA you can't live within a certain amount of miles of a school of your a sex offender.
