In reply to Concerned. Have to wonder if the original Dear Abby would agree with the current Dear Abby since the current is the offspring of the original...

In reply to DEREK W LOGUE of OnceFallen.com. As a former newspaper boy who hand delivered newspapers to doorsteps by bicycle in the winter months, I resemble this remark and am not bygone by any stretch. :D Keep up the good fight Derek!

We’ve addressed “Dear Abby” before. She just a relic of a bygone era of newspapers delivered to your doorstep.

This woman has bought the big lie of “frightening and high” recidivism. Anyone dangerous enough to worry her about them kidnapping children would not have been released in the first place. She should be no more worried about this man than she should be about any man, including her own husband.

That said, the best method of prevention is not by keeping your eyes on people on a list. It is educating children so that they won’t let anyone (adult or peer) cross inappropriate boundaries with them. That would stop 99% of all sexual crime going on.

Well, I guess I cannot go to church, be on an isle in Walmart when a kid walks by, and the 20 or so kids that live on or visit my street to play, would make me move.
But I experience all of that every day and have little to no issues. The kids don’t bother me, I do not bother them. If merely walking past a kid would get you arrested, we would all be locked up. Just have to be aware of the circumstances and do not get into a situation you cannot get out of, even if it was not your fault.
I live by just getting through THAT day and worry about the next day when it comes.

That exactly happened to me as well. A lady on my street invited me over to speak with her. She said she had my back and that she understands my pain. Then a week later, ALL of the neighbors knew so I asked the “Nice” lady if she had spread rumors about me, she admitted that someone had to warn the neighbors about me.
I have not spoken to her since, even though several times she asked for help lifting something or other things. I am not a cruel person, but I want nothing to do with her and told her, her sons were abled bodied and could help her when they return home. And I do have a few neighbors who take my charges “In the past” with a grain of salt.
When I mentioned that to my deputy, he agreed I should have nothing to do with her as people like that can make a false allegation and cause major legal issues to get you locked up and off of “Their” street. I do try and be kind to all the neighbors, but some just give dirty looks no matter how nice you are to them.

Is he a sting operation victim?

Here’s a hearing those in Michigan should watch and listen to if they know anybody who was entrapped in one of those fraudulent sting operations.

This is a Michigan Supreme Court Hearing on entrapment for one of those cases.

You can also look up an amicus brief that was written for that. Look up:

In support of Jayneel Ravindra Jade

“However, if you see a sex offender in the presence of minor children, you are morally and ethically bound to report it.” Really, Abby!? Morally and ethically required to report it, and to whom? It just gets sillier and sillier.

Something struck me as off right away, so I re-read the statement several times before bothering to sit down and reply.Ignoring the faux Dear Abby reply I couldn’t get past focusing on the question itself..The question is riddled with contradiction. They claim one thing, yet they keep circling back obsessively to something entirely different—like a classic poker tell screaming that the real hand is hidden.
How utterly wonderful it must be to be an American Karen, armed with a juicy piece of gossip and the burning need to broadcast it far and wide. That sanctimonious line about how they would “never dare” air dirty laundry or destroy this couple’s lives? Please. It’s such a paper-thin, transparent lie it’s practically see-through.
Of course this virtuous Karen is dying to splash the scandal across the community. Of course she wants to publicly humiliate the husband, torch his wife’s life, and leave them both in ruins. The actual question dripping beneath all the faux concern is crystal clear:
“How can I most effectively expose this man as an RSO, obliterate his wife in the process, and still paint myself as the noble, moral victim who was just forced to speak up for the greater good?”
Truly, the pinnacle of self-righteous American womanhood. How blessed we all are to witness such moral excellence in action.
