Warning Others

This isn't a subject you just start talking to other people about. If you are accused of something repulsive, even if you DID NOT and NEVER WOULD do it in your life, you become afraid of talking to others about it. THere is always a doubt in your mind that some people might actually believe you were capable of such a thing. You know your family and friends believe in you, but what about casual friends; people you don't know that well but are still willing to trust.
Trust does not come easy anymore. I never was an outgoing person like my daughter is, but now... I stand by myself waiting to pick up my daughter at parent pick up. That is where this whole ordeal started.
You are waiting for your child. You start a casual conversation with another mom because you know your kids are in the same class. Or the kids come out together and all they talk about is a playdate- "When can we have a playdate?" You think, "Why not?"
Why not indeed.
I remember my daughter's first playdate. It was at a neighbor's house. We knew the neighbors but not that well. Their daughter was a few years older. i remember thinking, "Is this ok? Is this normal?" I just left my kid with someone I know virtually NOTHING about." I also remember thinking that there should be a manual on playdates for parents. At what age do you let them? How long do you leave them? Do you stay the first time? Do I stay ALL the time? All the mom's say "Sure no problem? But still... Then you fall into the pattern. When your kid is a social being like mine, you don't have much of a choice. I didn't want her to be like me.
So she goes to other people's houses. Kids come to your house. It's easy. It's harmless. Until...
I never EVER would have thought that something like this could happen to OUR family. I look back on it and think that it all started with me. I should have said no that day. What if I hadn't done this thing or that thing, it never would have happened. On the other hand, if I hadn't done this or not done that my husband could have been put in jail!!
How do we go about warning other people? Write a book and tell our story. and the how they are trying to destroy the institution of the Family, in the same way as they are trying to destroy the Constitition and Marriage and everything that was good about AMERICA.
More later.
