First of all, breathe ... Then modify your post so you aren't giving away names and locations that can identify you or others in a public forum ... There is a right way and a wrong way to go about this.

Call local authorities and ask them if they have the pedophile registered on the sex offenders list and if they have they notified families with children in your neighborhood that a pedophile is living in the area.

Ask them if fliers about the guy's history are available, and if it's okay to print them up and pass them out to the people you know who have children, or to post them up around the area.

Of course, you can also let the neighbors know what's going on and let it get around by word of mouth.

Whatever you do ... DO NOT CONFRONT the pedophile or do anything that could get you into trouble. this would make the pedophile very happy.

Again, breathe ... And do nothing until your anger has subsided ... Again, there's a right way and a wrong way to handle this.

Sincerely,
Pfrog

Sounds like a very uncomfortable and scary experience to me!

It's hard not to become emotional after witnessing an event like this. Especially when you know one of the people involved well. I am sure that the event was very distressing to you and your son-in-law.

The time that sexual predators serve disgusts me, it's insulting IMO! Especially because the chances of them re-offending the same laws are pretty significant. Scares the bejeezers out of me! Making the neighborhood aware of this man would certainly help. I, too, advise you not to approach this man. I wouldn't want to trigger him into poor behavior.

Please be careful ~ gentle hugs sent to you and your family.
