There should be criminal charges brought against any and all people involved in those children that were put on that stage and had those men expose themselves to them. You can’t put a child’s innocence back into their brains. Once they are exposed to these perversions it’s never reversed. Children can’t unsee perverse actions as these and all who participated know this. Jill Biden is an absolute disgrace!!!

When I was in 10th grade, I went to a private high school, Xaverian, in Westwood Ma. The class schedule then in 1980 had A week and B week. On B week I would have 3 periods in a row open at the end of the day and with an open campus I was able to pretty much leave. I wasn’t supposed too, but I would sneak off of campus go to a place in front of a fire department and thumb home at 1 oclock, probably a 5 mile road (east st.). One day an old purple Jaguar stopped while I was thumbing and I was psyched. It was a 2 seat car with that long Jaguar front end. I got in the car and there was a bald guy driving and on the console was a play girl book with a fully naked man on the cover of the magazine. My heart dropped and I thought this may be really the end, I was only 14. We didn’t get 100 feet and I started yelling at this guy to stop the car and let me out. He said what’s the matter don’t you want a ride. I said stop the f’n car or I’m going to freak out on you. The guy pulled over and I got out.

In 1986 I saw an article about a local contractor that had been arrested for an attempted abduction of a boy in Norwood Ma., he was driving a purple Jaguar. Over those years it didn’t hit me who he was but I now think how dark a person he was getting a sexual thrill from a young boy. It started to all make sense as the years passed, who this man was, and what he was doing. He had a large general contracting company 1/2 a mile from my house on East St. In Dedham. This man Parker has since died but to this day I wonder if he ever molested any local boys or worse and how it could have been me.

You had great courage...not the type who has a 'victim mentality'. Kudos to those who raised you! It's a shame that I had to teach my children when they were very young that there are evil people in this world and to stay away from strangers. I was taught the same thing when I was young. Can you imagine what it must be like to be a parent today?!!! Not nearly enough is being done to stop these creeps.

You’re a good caring parent Dianne!! I’ve been thinking of this man that stopped that day and how he couldn’t control himself enough to stop trying to pick up kids and eventually was arrested and charged. There’s a lot of really sick sexual predators out there and with a government full of them things will only get worse. Everyday parents should be on guard and protect their children from these predators it could save them a lifetime of psychological problems.

Thank you James. You're right. The government is full of them, many former clients of Jeffrey Epstein. That's the reason they don't put the safety of our children at the top of their list of priorities. That's the last thing they want. The United States has become a more dangerous place to raise children than ever because many of those we have given power to "rule" are mentally ill. Why do we let these people rule our lives? They did it so slowly and cleverly we didn't notice, but now that we do.......things are going to change!

Oh James! What a terrifying experience! I do worry about the mental and emotional health of today’s children! They are exposed to more and more depravity. Dr Jill, this was an excellent post. Thank you!

I just had lunch with my sister, showed her the high school ID. She never knew the story of me getting picked up by Parker and was shocked to hear about it. I was actually lucky I was a little older, only 14, but I was the youngest of 4 so I had learned a lot for my age. I mentioned my oldest brother. The oldest kids seem to get the most discipline. With the punishments, restrictions, being grounded, getting the car and having it back. By the time I was going through the system my parents had been Brocken down to the point they said just have the car back some time tomorrow. Im exaggerating but I definitely had learned the ins and outs and had it much easier.

I understand! I was the oldest of four and had the most discipline and responsibility. I worry though today’s children don’t have enough parental guidance because their parents were from the generation that wanted to be “friends” with their children.

So true Barbara and that’s a big part of kids expecting success without working for it.

James,

You and I have had similar lives, although I wasn't the bonehead thumbing a ride.

So at about age 8 , my single mom had no one to watch me, dropped me off in the next town over to stay with "a baby sitter".

Well, at first it was pretty benign, and not much happened. About a week later, mid summer, I was dropped off and the woman who ran this "baby sitting at her house" service had sent me to the backyard to play on the swings and such. I was her "only" client at the time, and, well, it was summer.

The woman had a teenage son. Maybe he was 15 or so, really tall, and geeky, and he had set up a tent at the back of the residential property. I could hear him calling my name, and I went back to the tent and looked in. Inside, he had a young girl, maybe a teen, maybe not, with her clothing off from the waist down. Her labia and clitoris were clearly visible, as she didn't have any pubic hair to speak of. Puzzled in amazement, I asked him what they were doing?

He was opening her privates with his fingers, and he looked up to me and said "come over here and fuck her".

Being 8, I had no idea what that meant. I askied him what that meant, and he said "come over here and stick your dick in here".

I lost my shit. I immediately hightailed it out of there, and ran into the house, where I remained inside, sitting at the kitchen table. I told the woman that I didn't feel good, and my stomach hurt, and that I didn't want to go back outside. The day ended, and mom picked me up.

On the ride home, I told my mom I never wanted to go back there. She kept asking me why, and I kept telling her that I just didn't want to go back there, ever. She reluctantly agreed, and was burdened, yet again, with finding another sitter for her 8 year old little shithead son. It was about a decade later I told her what happened, and even though she knew something wasn't right, she had no idea.

Years later, say my mid 20's I read in the newspaper that Michael was arrested for molesting children. I had developed a friendship in college with Michaels sister, who was similar in age to me. She confirmed Michaels behavior, but we never got into details.

So, as with your story, That almost was me as well, only a younger guy being involved. I'm sure even if I did as he requested, it would have progressed even further than his innocent "gesture" to intercourse this pre-pubescent girl.

Today, Michael would be given a medal for his molestation efforts by the Demoncratic party. I'm grateful for growing up when I did, and living through it as well and innocent as I was and lived through.

Thanks PB, I was lucky also that I was a little older and honestly a bit of a tough kid, though you may not think so if you saw me at the time. Because I was sneaking out of school I never told my parents certainly and the story ended there. Until later I saw that article and after that I opened a construction company and a guy that worked for Parker at that time brought it up to me. A real scary twisted man. I actually had met him at a point still not knowing it was him but it absolutely was.

Interestingly back when we were kids it was rather common to accept rides from strangers..I did and my dad was a cop...and unfortunate consequences for doing so not as common as novelists today would have you believe. We are experiencing an epidemic of lawless behavior due at least in part with the abrogation of deterrence in the "justice system" .
