[quote=Anonymous]I got a weird vibe from a local person who had been hanging around that was very good friends with our neighbor.  DS who was 11 at the time would hang out on the street with other neighborhood boys and this person throwing the football, playing street hockey, etc.  My dad was visiting one day and because he is clergy and runs youth groups, had recently taken a class on child predators and how to spot red flags, etc.  He asked me who the guy was and if I was OK with my DS spending so much time with him. I told him they are never alone but that I agreed there was something"off".  So that night I had a heart to heart with DS and asked him if anything had ever happened that made him uncomfortable and we talked about grooming behaviors, when things feel uncomfortable what to do, and that he should never keep secrets from us, etc.  I also made sure DS was never alone with him.  Fast forward a year later and one of the neighborhood boys told his mom that the guy had been sexually abusing him for several months  :cry: It is a horrible situation.  This is a well-loved member in the community (they usually are) and over 10 other victims have come forward since the initial allegations.  I AM SO THANKFUL that I talked to DS that night and so thankful my dad asked me about it.  [/quote]
