JJ, you have me riled up this morning.
You cannot possibly believe JS thought his actions were right. If he thought they were right, he wouldn't do them late at night in the shower when nobody else was present. He wouldn't stash the boys down in the basement. He would just tell Dottie, Hey I'm going downstairs to lay with Johnny and **** (add whatever comments here). Of course he knew it wasn't right.
And JP didn't need to know the identity of the shower victim to keep him from further action. But let's say he did need to.....He calls JS in and says, Hey I heard you were in the shower last night. Who was the kid? Simple enough.
And I'm on the boat with many others who feel the legal obligation of these creatures wasn't enough. A child's well-being and welfare trumps legal obligations. The little boy in the shower whom MM saw was victimized again when MM left him alone with that monster. I cannot even imagine being in his shoes. It is so horrendously sad to think that a grown man saw this and walked out. But he slammed the locker door - that was his justification! Needed to make sure we all knew that. Great job.
I'm not a lawyer. Just a law abiding citizen and parent. And to be told they were within the parameters of the law so it's ok, makes me want to vomit.
