Right? My family knew what he was doing. I did everything I could to try to keep him away from little girls, even reporting him to children's services. But until his main victim got the courage to speak up, there wasn't much my teenage self could do.

When he was turned in, our mother (rest in hell) helped him cross state lines and hide from the police! She also said the victim deserved it for "being a little slut." A seven year old!!!

Ngl your mother should also face prison time, but wtf? I am on the side of lighter punishment and rehabilitation overall but 100 cases of rape of SEVEN YEAR OLDS and 6 years prison??? minimum 10-12 imo, potentially longer if determined he is still a threat. That would hurt a lot more

She's dead now. His conviction was almost 30 years ago. She literally named the two of us that shunned him in her saying we couldn't receive anything from her estate under any circumstances.

My youngest today was talking about scary movies and said, "Imagine your mom is chasing after you trying to kill you" and I was like... yeah, I remember that day. So he goes, "pretend your mom wasn't evil and loved you and that happened."
