So my parents still live in the same neighborhood I grew up in. It's a strange neighborhood. Half houses, half trailer park. Half uppity, half um not uppity. Growing up the street I lived on divided the neighborhood. The streets before ours were uppity, ours was fairly neutral, and the back part of the neighborhood was less than classy. This really doesn't have a lot to do with my story, other than to iterate the fact that I grew up in lower-middle class America. Woo. Hoo.
Anyway, there is a house, and by house I mean single-wide trailer, that has been next to my parent's house, and by house I mean double-wide trailer, since I was a little girl. I'm amazed this trailer still has a floor. But it does and people still live there. Over the years many people have lived there and occasionally my parents will befriend them. This happened last year. A family lived there and my parents got to know the mom. I'm not sure how many kids she had, three maybe four small children. Her son was older and engaged. He lived there as well with his fiance and her kids. He did yardwork for my mom and dad. They seemed like a nice little family; and still kept in contact with my parents after moving down the street into a double wide, cause really how long can a gajillion people live in a single wide trailer. Now this is where the story gets twisted.
A few weeks ago we noticed they had cleared out. I'm talking one weekend my kids were playing with her kids and that week they were gone. No sight of them anywhere. But all of their stuff was strewn all over the place. My mom said she moved but left all of their stuff. Then a week or so later her older son moved into that trailer with his fiance and kids. My mom asked him what happened.
Turns out his nice lady and her nice husband got caught having sex with a nice little 14-year-old mentally retarded girl. Lovely.
So, the nice husband was taken to a nice jail cell. And the nice lady was told she had 24 hours to leave the state or she would be arrested. Can anyone say WHAT THE HELL??!! They let her walk away with kids in her care. I imagine those kids having to leave all of their toys and no telling what else, crying, all because mommy and daddy are child molesters. Of course, let's not even think about the trauma of the authorities who don't care enough about them and send them off with their predator mama. I guess it's because she's a woman, a mom, surely her kids are better with her than in the system. Surely. Nevermind she was banging a little girl with her husband, a mentally retarded little girl at that.
Because we all know all predators are men. Seriously. You've got to be kidding me.
