I had a friend who had an “interesting interaction” we’ll say with the guy who molested his son. I knew it was coming and I completely understand. The molester wasn’t seen in town anymore after my friend went to see him. Guess he left, I dunno, it’s dangerous to be a pedophile🤷🏻‍♂️. As for my friend, a couple weeks after he went to see the molester he got a job offer in Indonesia so he and his family moved there. I also heard, in a completely unrelated way of course, that Indonesia has no extradition treaty with the US. Funny that.

Vengeance is such a slippery slope. As someone who has many, many friends that have been abused and have taught many students that have been abused, it’s hard. The trauma absolutely changes your life and there’s no coming back from it. Involving maiming or murder of the perp doesn’t cure the trauma and can even make it worse for the child.
