This is all pretty upsetting to me. To be very candid, you would be surprised by the number of "normal looking" sex offenders (especially of minors) in your neighborhood. I went online to check the registered sex offenders in my area a while back and I was pretty surprised that I had recognized several people on that list (None of these people were people i knew well or anything... but I work in a pharmacy and deal with a lot of interesting people )...
One instance I remember was this man (probably mid-40s) coming in and picking up a prescription for Viagra. He made a comment about my nostril piercing and I sent him on his way and didn't think anything of it. Everyday that week, he had called the pharmacy to see if I was working. Finally, when he got a hold of me on the phone, he asked me out...very nonchalantly too (I was barely legal at the time). We all got a good laugh about it in the pharmacy...until I went browsing the databases for sex offenders in my area out of curiosity and found his picture on it stating that he was registered for child molestation...Now it's just a little, disturbing story i tell on occasion.
I have pictures when I was probably 2 or 3 years old swimming with my cousins in a kiddie pool...happy and naked. We didn't think anything of it back then...These were just captured memories. By today's standards, this would probably fall in the category of kiddie porn, and it disgusts me that the innocence is lost.
Sorry for the long-winded post...and if there are any typographical errors..too bad.
Edit: I would hate to be in your shoes...and I would be enraged too...
