I Remember The 911 Call

A chickenshit anonymous commenter got his comment deleted because they couldn't follow the simple posting rules.

They alluded that I would feel different about drag queens if it was my kid that got molested.

Well, The Boy has been molested.

Obviously I feel the way I do despite that.

The convict was a trusted friend and significant other of one of Harvey's co-workers.

We'd hired them to babysit.

Raising a child like The Boy is demanding and when someone volunteers to take some of that load...

Except for the betrayal...

The convict originally got busted in a sting where a detective was a portraying a 13 year old.

We were shocked.  The Boy overheard us and... um... reacted.

Because if Uncle Scumbag had told him if the cops ever came he'd hurt The Boy and he was SCARED SHITLESS.

So we called the cops to add our experience to the charges.

Charges that stuck.

So, thanks, Anonymous Shitbag, for dragging these memories out again.

But I cannot bring myself to hate people who have not committed a crime.

Not even if they are gay, like Uncle Scumbag.  Not even if they are male, like Uncle Scumbag.

Lots of gay men aren't molesting kids.  Lots of drag queens will be perfectly happy performing at adults only venues (assuming that they can get permits).

The scum really are the minority, and it's time to stop letting them dictate the terms and define the language.

Because there's lots of fine people out there whose only crime is being strange and that by itself is harmless.  But the scum have people convinced that the strange part is dangerous when it's the dangerous part that is, and it's an independent variable from being strange.

Because we're going to miss a scumbag because they can pull off the appearance of normal while we focus on the strange.

  1. It's always only the people you trust who can betray you.
    That's always the rub.

  3. Working with the abused to get them to see that they didn't do anything wrong is hard. Add the autism and I can't imagine the issues and hidden mental mines.

    You, sir, have my respect.

    Sorry that the traumas of the past have come to visit the present. That sucks, truly sucks.

    Stay 'sane' and stay in contact. Don't go getting all weird and uncommunicative, please.

    1. Already weird. But I'm not going silent. I've got about 100 rounds of 125mm Soviet tank ammo to blather about for T2K.
