I was almost to the same place Ross is at now right after our children left the nest. I had a few years of peace, and then all of a sudden I had grandchildren raiding my refrigerator.

If he’s guilty I hope he pays the highest possible cost.

I wonder how far he was from the school?

His Dad’s shop that he’s at all the time is right across the street from the South Fork high and his Dad’s house is about a few hundred yards from a church that if I’m not mistaken still has a preschool program and yes I say his Dad’s because that’s where he lives.

But the SO seems unable to do a thing about the tweaker/squatter at a near location despite the efforts of local Miranda resident’s complaints for MONTHS😠😠😠

Good to have him in custody. It’s our instinct to be repulsed by this behavior. Try to remember that their brains are miswired. They have to be kept out of society for life but torturing them only lowers the rest of us.

“the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped.”

“The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.”

I’ll save my sympathy for the victims. There’s a reason people are repulsed. If a dog bites it needs to be put down.

Children are harmed- seriously harmed- because such a person indulges himself. “Wired differently”? It is not what a pedophile wants that makes him an anathema but what he does with total disregard to the harm it causes those who are incapable of protecting themselves. The morality of any population is measured by how viciously the residents of a prison treat each other. A heaven can not be made of such no matter what.

Miranda in not only small but has a population with a fairly large population of young families. We are senior citizens and have watched many of these grow up. The atmosphere of the town attracts the better families who are more dedicated to their kids, etc. [edit]

While not attempting to prejudge this charge, for a rational and fair minded scientific journal discussion of the issues in this news story, Google “Effects on Boy-Attracted Pedosexual Males of Viewing Boy Erotica”

Regarding “harm,” Google “The Missing Mechanism of Harm”

You can also Google “Childhood ‘Innocence’ is Not Ideal:”

For a scientific journal discussion of “Willingness,” especially as it relates to boys, Google “boyandro” or “The Role of Androphilia in the Psychosexual Development of Boys”.

A downloadable 94 page book is available free by Googling “Beyond Hysteria: Boy Erotica on the Internet”.

For an even more in-depth examination, Google “Myths of Childhood Sexuality”

I won’t be “googling” any of that crap and if you’re trying to normalize pedophilia I hope you get a double dose of whatever you have coming. That crap won’t fly anywhere in this country, not even California.

A couple of times I’ve laid beside the river under Miranda bridge relaxing.
I’ve heard young teens talking among themselves about having sex with older
people.

I know being molested at a young age is something the person will think about
the rest of their life. Having sex with under age youth is unfair to them. It seems
to be they should explore their sexuality with those their own age. Maye I’m old
fashioned. It seems like fornication to me, rather than making love.
