“What’d he do?” I asked. I didn’t want someone who committed a violent sex crime in my home. During group, I listened in horror about kids who’d committed unspeakable crimes against other kids. They were the types of offenders who scared me—the predatory, sadistic sex ones. They were the worst kind and the most dangerous. They took pleasure from inflicting pain on others just for the enjoyment of watching them suffer. There was no way I was letting one of them into my house.
