Recently I came under attack for allegedly reporting a known child rapist for babysitting.
Seems like a slam-dunk to me. I admit it–I do not think any convicted rapist should be alone with a child ever.
So it was weird getting lambasted for what really should be a legal and moral mandate–if you know someone who is or has been violent or abusive and that person is alone with children…. Report them. If they were convicted of felon child abuse, assault, or rape? Yep. Call CPS
And then…
I was reminded that an entire church has an extremely low opinion of me because I….reported a pedophile in order to protect children.
I am a messy woman with a messy life and most people wisely keep their distance. But to be hated, misunderstood, and rejected for not tolerating child abuse?
Kinda seems like an honor.
