That was going to be my next point, about blood relatives being a good percentage of molestation perps. Stranger abductions/molestations are much less common than family abductions/molestations. Why is noone looking at the family? Do they not have a back door? Statistically speaking, it is more likely to a family member than a non-family member.
And no, I would never worry about my dad, he is a good and decent man who just happens to peck my kids on the lips, so does my husband (their father), so does my BIL, we all do. I can't imagine being so fearful that I would be concerned about my family w/o just cause. That is just nuts.
I am operating under the understanding that ths man was not actually a stranger to her, but a neighbor who interacted with her often prior to the pool incident. I understood him to say that after that incident he stopped all interaction with her. I think his interview became skewed.
I was very close to my next door neighbors growng up. I spent lots of time at their house with them and I distinctly remember sitting on my male neighbor's lap, kissing him hello and good-bye, etc. He was a wonderful man who I cared for deeply. Most men are not predators.
Now if I heard that it was more of a sexual kiss than an appropriate kiss then I would not bother to defend him at all. And I reserve the right to be wrong about him. I just don't like calling people perverts or offenders without proof, that is called defamation of character.
My bold-Now I am confused. I thought that he did not know her prior to the pool incident and that afterwards he stated first that he did not know her, but then she did some gardening with him...yet at first he told her No to the gardening when she volunteered, which is a strangely defensive statement in and of itself....
