Vort Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I know an old guy that I'm just not sure about. I really wonder what, if anything, I should do about him. Maybe it's none of my business, but if anything were to happen, then I'd feel really, really bad. He seems harmless enough, but I wonder. There are just some weird things about him:He is inordinately attached to children, and doesn't really associate with adults at all.He actually keeps careful track of many children. I know he watches them, and he sometimes observes them while they take naps (!).Very often, he gives gifts of some sort to these children, without the parents' explicit permission. I know some children that have actually asked him for certain things that their parents have explicitly told them they can't have.He really seems to work at cultivating friendships with these children. Sometimes he lets them sit on his lap (isn't that called "grooming"?).I can't prove this, but it's said that he breaks and enters into people's houses. Kind of a weird old guy -- he doesn't take anything except some snack food, and he leaves behind little "gifts" for the kids, as mentioned above.The guy is a total hermit, keeps a low profile. He and his "wife" (whom I've never seen) live waaaaaay out in the sticks in some kind of private commune and pretty much don't see anyone else all year long.I don't know, they guy is pleasant to talk to and actually rather friendly. Maybe I'm overreacting. What do you think? Is this creepy enough that I should report him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vort Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 is he on the baby-raper website...aka state sex offender registry?You know, that's a great point. He has an unusual, perhaps unique, name, so it should be pretty easy to check on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuroTypical Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I am the most gullible guy in the world. To my credit, I was about to suggest that you not report him to the authorities, but that you make sure individual parents know exactly what you've seen. I was going to caution you not to go off of heresay, and stick to only exactly what you've personally witnessed. Cuz it's up to the parents to decide what to do with the info.
