[quote=Anonymous]I was friends with a guy once who was in the same social circle in a small town - his family had an insurance agency or real estate, I can’t recall which. He dated a colleague attorney from my social set and I spent lots of time in his company in various settings - he was very likable, funny, nice. He’d been married and had shared custody of his kids and everyone thought him to be a great dad.

One day I learned he had blown his head off out on some land adjacent to his home - polite to the end, he didn’t do it inside where someone would have to clean the mess.

The church was overflowing with townspeople wanting to honor his life and needing the comfort of shared grief over the shocking circumstances of his passing.

Later it went around town that FBI agents had quietly served a warrant on his office and taken his computer the day before he suicided. I was absolutely stunned knowing it meant only one thing and explained entirely why this charming young man would suddenly end his life - that kind of thing is unsurvivable in a small town, and his family would have been destroyed by it. Because his death closed the investigation his suicide was a kind of warped gift to them.

As a former prosecutor and public defender I agree that pedophiles are not usually made from thin air, but I would also point out that abused kids aren’t always abused in the home and many times parents don’t know because their children don’t tell. We shouldn’t automatically assume the perpetrator was damaged in the home when it could just as easily have been a coach, teacher, pastor, scoutmaster, neighbor or family friend. [/quote]
