Empty-nest.....
You are absolutely correct. This is one thing dh and I KNEW was a real possibility! We thought this, and his testing confirmed that he was VERY likely to offend again and HAD to HAVE 'line of sight supervision' at ALL TIMES. (Which, according to the tester, was almost impossible to do! Go figure!)
Anyway, we knew that to even bring him back into the home would mean we were deliberately putting the younger children in harm's way. Not only was this against our ethical beliefs, but also really, against the law.
Funny how the laws are supposed to protect the innocents, but when the predator is in your own home, somehow those laws are not supposed to apply?
To the rest of you who've responded since my last post:
It's been three years since this happened, and even now, reading the encouraging and thoughtful comments you've written are appreciated more than you could know. ((((HUGS))))
Most Sincerely,
Linny
