You know what makes this so scary is that it was a little girl' best friend's father---
I can't even tell you how many girlfriend's houses that I visited and even spent the night at that my parents never even met the parents of my friends....of course, we all grew up together, went to same school for years and years, but then maybe so did these girls....
Yes, Txsleuth. And "only if" the fact that he was recently released from prison hadn't gone under the radar....
you didn't need to know every single parent.....you just knew that they were okay....
poor children these days.....no real childhood to enjoy...
its our fault, you know....we adults....even those of us who consider ourselves "good" probably have allowed too much crap into this world...
we have become "enlightened" to the point where our tv shows are immoral and embarressing, our movies worse, our music hateful, our schools scary....
we would be much better if most people were of one value system......
I think pushing diversity on us is a major problem... we actually need more tradition, more stability, not ever changing societies ......
these are truisms to me....
that a man and a woman , married together, make the best parents, that moms should be able to stay home as long as they need to raise the little ones, that parochial schools are one way for the young people to be around children of similar faith, that there really does need to be censorship of our media, all of it....
