    Men are so gross sometimes-not a funny thing at all

    So I happen to be glancing out our front room's window...they face the street. One of the neighbor girls across the street has been swimming at another neighbors house...common in nice weather....we get little trains of kiddos in swimmy suits [:D]
     
    Anyhow this girl I know for a fact is about 12-13y/o, very cute, blonde long hair.....she's wearing a two piece bathing suit, the kind with "boy short" bottoms...something I wouldnt allow but that's neither here nor there....
     
    So our neighborhood "walker", a man who is alwyas walking around wearing headphones...lives in one of the houses on that street....is walking past her, turns...and stares at her backside for like an eternity....only a passing car breaks his attention...HOW DISGUSTING. This guy is 40something if he is a DAY. My skin started crawling and the poor girl was OBLIVIOUS!
     
    I am thinking of this poor girl in OK who was recently kidnapped, tortured, raped and killed by a neighbor in her apt complex who intended to EAT her...and I am just sick...did that start out like this? staring?? admiring?...
     
    I marched across the street and told her grandmother.....her parents live around the corner...and she was pretty upset....as was her uncle who is there also...he said the walker has never siad hello to him nor even met his eyes...and they've lived there a loooong time. Me neither....he'll walk right by and it's like you aren't there....but he about broke his neck staring at a little girl?? CREEP sez I....so...I told them. Maybe it's nothing...but maybe....
     
    Disclaimer: I am aware us women are also guilty of this...as well as out and out sexual assault of children...BOTH, make my skin crawl AngryCrying

    It was good that you were there and noticed the man and told the little girl's family.  Now everyone will be more aware of the man and keep a better eye on him and their kids.  What a sicko!

    It may be nothing, but I know there is a website that will give you the names and addresses of sexoffenders. I just can't remember the name of the site right now. Do a google search and you may find it.
    It may sound like I am overreacting, but I don't think it would hurt to look into.
    Even if he is not on the list I would keep my eyes on him. It is very sickening to say the least.

    Dackel our city government page has them listed by zip code on the police dept area. Very handy....I've looked and there IS a low risk guy on that street (his charge was soliciting a 14y/o girl, and he did 5 years for it) but I'll be danged if the pic doesn't really look like him.
     
    One of those "IF he shaved...and IF he lost some weight"...it COULD be him....I'll have to try and make an effort to see WHERE he comes from, housewise. they list an address and all that. I'd imagine changing ones appearance would be pretty high on a recently released SO's list of things to do right? In case the victim's family comes knocking...since we're in Texas we do get some vigilante gun slinging or bat swinging every now and again...grrr
     
    My 2 are NEVER out front alone...tho I had been considering allowing Lily (5 y/o) to play out front while I sit in the computer room, which faces the street with the door open.....but I guess that's not even safe these days....sheeeeesh...

    What a jerk, why cant they just keep walking anyway??? I do think its sort of a warning b/c there ARE a lot of older men who wouldnt do that... it creeps me out!

    Good for you for saying something, Gina. If this man is "harmless" that's good, but if not, knowledge is power. I think you were probably right in your assessment, though, since you had such a visceral reaction. I find those feelings are usually right.

    I think that it might be a good idea to report this incident to the police.  No, nothing happened really, but for a grown man to stare at a young child like that is something that the police would probably like to know.  One of the things cops hate WORST are people who prey on children, and they would most likely appreciate knowing that their is someone in your area to keep an eye on.

    That's sickening. I'm glad you saw it and said something. In this day you can't be too careful.

    And in response to your thread title - men are so gross - did anyone happen to see this incident that happend a couple of days after Jamie Rose Bolin was killed? [linkhttp://www.kfor.com/Global/story.asp?s=4795222]http://www.kfor.com/Global/story.asp?s=4795222[/link] <--- not illegal but poor taste and VERY poor timing

    Pedophiles are everywhere!  In Utah we have a huge amount of child predators, including one on MY street.  I do not allow my daughter to go anywhere past where I can see her or to a neighbor's house before I have checked the address on the familywatchdog website.  You just never know anymore.  I get to know the parents of where she visits, she has no time on the internet unattended, and does not go to the park without an older family member.  It's not fair to curtail her so much, but innocense is not replaceable.  You did the right thing 100% telling the parents.  Jules

    It's not just men, what about the female teachers who are sleeping with younger teenaged students?  They are pedophiles too.   Jules

    I guess the difference between the teen guys and the girls is that a teen girl can get pregnant  from an older guy and not know any better.  A teen guy won't.  Not that there aren't many other nasty things out there for them TO get.  It's that whole stigma between guys and girls.  A teen girl having sex (willingly) is a sl^t but a teen guy having sex (willingly) is "cool".  [8|]

    Edited: I think you did the right thing too and I second the mentioning it to police..

    Isn't it sad, Jules? My daughters will never know the childhood I did. I lived in freedom, playing in the neighborhood all hours. My kids will never know that. I, too, am with them for everything that they do.

    That article, Sooner, is unbelievable. A 45-year-old man and a 12-year-old girl.... I do believe my humane-hyde could conceive murder....

    Thanks guys...
     
    I did not call the police but we do have an anonymous tip email form on their website which I DID fill out with my name and address if they want to contact me. If nothing else maybe they will pay a call to our resident SO and make sure he's minding his own business.
     
    They are good here, the police. One time a complete IDIOT was outisde visiting our then really awful trashy neighbors. He was painting a SWASTIKA on the hood of his car in spray paint...parked right out there on the street. I freaked out...being of mixed race myself and married to a white man...I could only think of what he might do aside from painting his car.
     
    I called the police, AND sent them an email, even tho my DH thought I might be overreacting and they did come out and talk to him, and made him paint it over while they watched, then asked him to leave. Then the next day a detective was in contact via email....totally nice and making sure I was okay and asking if I was in need of anything, he said they DO NOT tolerate things like that in their city and I could tell he was truly upset by it. He gave me his direct phoneline and such if anything else should come up...made me feel better [:)] I was SO mad when Big Dallas pinched our Police Chief...he did a great job here [:(]

    The website for finding the neighborhood pervs is www12.familywatchdog.us  It not only shows you exactly where they live (with the address) but it shows you a picture of them.
