Want some candy little girl?
But seriously, folks, any parent who isn't tightly monitoring their kid's cell phone / internet / friends is just asking for trouble. Kids are incapable of taking precautions and protecting themselves. You wouldn't let someone who looked like me into your home to play with your children, would you while you were away, would you? Why would you let them be intimate with your kids online or in text?
The fact that this might have been a client of House of Good Shepherd is doubling heart-breaking. Those kids are there as a result of human tragedy.
BTW, Chris, your avatar is extremely provocative on many levels -- its colors are hot and it is sexually and appetizingly appealing. That's why we call it art, n'est ce pas?

Not for nothing. Certainly if Mr. Garramone is guilty, he should be punished the same as we would the other scum who would do such heinous acts. But...
I have had two different experiences where the teenage girls initiated phone contact with me and begged me to "teach" them so they could keep me satisfied always. One girl even went so far to say that she's into threesomes with another girl. In one instance, despite my numerous text messages telling the girl to stop texting me or I would be forced to call the Sheriff, she still texted me and kept saying it was cool, she was alright with it. Well, after my last text message saying that she has left me no choice but to call the police, her mother calls my number to tell me that I don't need to bother she already did. To protect myself, I drove down to the Sheriff's office and filed a complaint. Turns out the deputy who took my complaint is married to my former client. He called up the number and advised her that her daughter is going to be arrested for harassment and that she was going to be arrested for making a false police report. The deputy further explained that she just accused me, an attorney and officer of the court who diligently came here to show me the text message conversation that your daughter initiated. If you wish to continue with your complaint, I have to advise you that I will be forced to enforce the law and charge you and your daughter. That was the last of that.
The other time, it turned out that the girl was using her mother's phone. Fortunately, the promise of police intervention stopped the texting right away. The mother noticed the unknown number saying that if she didn't stop texting I would call the police. That mother called me too, but she was more rational and apologized for what her daughter did. I told her I did not appreciate being harassed like that and that if the number came up again, I would file criminal charges. She assured me that it would not come to that. We have come so far in society to protect children that we forgot to make them accountable too for their actions. No wonder kids blame everyone else today but forget to look in the mirror.
Both times, it started with a random text message that turned out to be a wrong number. And each time, I would just ignore the message until I would get too many to ignore. Then I responded that they had the wrong number and better stop texting.
Granted I knew better and didn't do anything stupid. But all it took was that one mother insisting on her version of the facts. I'm sure that if I had NOT gone to the station things would have turned out differently. The deputy took a certified copy of the text message conversation so that if anything else comes up there won't be an issue. In a civilized society, I should never had to have gone through any of that.
Again, I don't mean to trivialize the situation or turn the victims into the evil doers. I am simply amazed that we as society, I'm just as guilty, are so quick to prejudge.

I go strawberry picking every year. With the exception of this year, I used to go to the farm on rt. 12 south on that big bend before Old Rt. 12 turnoff. |

Swimmy is just a handsome young man with a bright future, who likes to get out for a few beers and some fun with friends. I guess his looks and his career path, make him an appealing target to young women with their eye on the future, LOL. Hell, he may have to carry an aluminum bat to stave off advances after he buys his NEW HAT! LOL ;D  I guess I am just a scaredy cat but I don't do facebook and sites like it, and I don't text. Yep, I AM old and old fashioned, and "tech challenged", but at my age, I get along quite well with my simple little E Machine, a basic cell phone, and help from you guys to keep it all running, haha. I have to admit that my texting skills would be severely handicapped by the fact that I would be squinting at little tiny keys through the bottom of my bifocals and cussing the dangfangled thing with every letter I typed in. |

Swimmy, we always took our kids strawberry picking also. Just love eating while picking. Great family day and good eating, but my days of picking out of the fields are over with. Now, I pick the best out of the produce section in the grocery stores or the little farmer's stands on the side of the roads. Do miss those picking days though.

No, my prayers were answered and have the Chinese curse to lead an interesting life. I was envious of my 10th grade English teacher's bizarre and interesting stories and wished I could have my own. |

The reality of the situation is that the girls I'm interested can't flee away fast enough. The ones I'm not interested have no shame. |
