and you take pictures of them and post them on the internet?
I was playing around with my phone while watching her and she asked me to take pictures of her. I have lots more but I'm not going to dump them all over this thread. I've always been interested in photography but have never personally had a good camera. These are still just pictures taken from my iPhone. I'm going to use my mother's actual camera next time. It's not professional quality but it takes decent pictures.
I'll let it go, but I'm still weary.
Well, all I can do is assure you that I don't view, produce, or distribute child research.
He probably offers to do it for free - I doubt money is the reward he's after when looking after little girls...
Infact no, thats totally sick. They always say the vast majority loveual abuse is done by someone you know really well and this is exactly the case. I really do find it horrific that these people are trusting you with their daughters. I hope for everyone's sake you don't do anything stupid.
As I said, I planned on you to post something like this. I even hesitated to because of the drama it would cause but I decided to do it for a chance at some open discussion. But I am more than offended (and a bit disturbed) that you are attacking me like this. How do you make the jump that someone who enjoys making new friends with, in this case, children and their families is secretly planning to loveually abuse them? Even going by the Vertzer thread (which was total bullstuff on my part), I've said I cannot find it in myself to bring harm to a child like that. Why do you insist on dragging this up every time I mention being involved with children on this forum? I just hope you don't try to use the massive sway you have in this community as the basis of your argument against me. I'd have to call shame on you if that happened.
You are absolutely correct though, money is not what I am seeking out of this relationship. I much more enjoy the satisfaction of making new friends and having the chance to share my knowledge with young eager minds. One of my biggest fantasies has always been to be a mentor figure to someone and now I've finally been given that chance.
You find it horrific that someone isn't needlessly suspicious of every person they interact with? The fact that you think I'm a child molester means that I must be and that these families are stupid for inviting me into their lives? Is it so bad to enjoy spending time with children? Are we supposed to be fearful of them because
someone might think you are a child enthusiast if you get too close? My belief is that that way of thinking is what is horrific about this situation.
These families have been nothing but kind to me. We have become good friends over the last few months. Just the other day I help the father of the girl I posted fix his mini-bike; it had an electrical malfunction that prevented the kill-switch from working properly. I also talk with my other neighbor all the time and am going fishing with him and his granddaughter who lives with him next week.
