That’s quite the burden on a 16 year old’s shoulders. Never mind the agony of the children he abused. I’m sorry to hear this.Skans » 06 Sep 2023, 4:28 pm » wrote: ↑ No.
Actually, I still don't know what would have been right. The pervert baby-sitter was in the past. If I thought the pervert still had access to the children, I like to think that I would have told the parents. So, whatever he had the 2 kids do, which I will not repeat here, it was in the past. Here's what I remember going through my mind:I can't recall whether I discussed this with my own parents at the time. I think I did, but I just don't remember.
- Would it have just hurt the kids more by getting the parents all worked up about something that happened to them in the past? The two kids didn't seem to be concerned about it at all.
- I also worried about how I would be perceived if I repeated to the parents what the 2 kids told me. I mean, how does a 16 year old boy tell the parents of 2 young kids (whom I hardly knew) the sick **** the pervert had them do? It was shocking and unbelievable to me.
- On the other hand, those two kids probably needed some serious counseling, and did I deprive them of that by remaining silent?
