What would your gut be telling you?

Joe is gay!?

That's about my take on the original post, too. If an ordinary person with thirty or more years social experience had been there and noticed the same things, that person would likely have come away with the same uncomfortable feeling.

Christ on a stick, as they used to say.

I'm a little concerned about the concept "jury of one's peers".

I guess your gut is telling you to bring up my problems. I will myself when I can broach the privacy barrier and get a grip. That I answered someone else than you was only an effort of politeness re my own thing, when both answers had been simply off of my scope. Those food banks are too far. That you are somehow annoyed by my answering another person is bizarre.

I don't remember about the finding food conversation, but my situation is odd and I did not mean to taunt. (Remembering after I am posting this, I called you a princess.) Probably I was defensive. Both solutions were not useful, as I bought a 'townhouse' in very much the wrong place, which is not the fault of any of you, that's all my own too quick decision and I know better. If I am angry, it is at myself and my not searching out the transportation system other than a quick look at the map - the bus by me runs at times I can't take it most of the year re my eyes, and it would be a long way to the stop even then.

Meantime, you just assume Tsar is gay, which is both none of our business and quite likely incorrect, but you hurled it.

Oh, I don't eat my own boogers.

I do like fried clams.

No need to share the credit. This one's all yours.

Does that mean crucified ?

I can't even stand to read through all the PC drivel people wrote, to write a post that would relate specifically to anything here.

Just read this. Never mind what you think of me. Just read it.

Today.
Mexican guy is back at the pool, alone. First time I've seen him since the inital episode.
Since he's alone, he apparantly felt more freedom to act on his own.
He continued to follow a group of boys around the water, 4 of them, all about 12 or 13, and someone's kid brother, around 5. They were obviously in charge of the kid. Since he was smaller, he couldn't do all the things the big boys were doing.

I'm watching. At one point the older boys were preoccupied, and the guy smiled and said something to the kid, who was hanging on the side of the pool. Only for a moment. Then he just stayed kinda near him, while the big kids played with a big beach ball in the pool. One of the boys suddenly hit the ball to the little kid. It bounced off his arms and flew out of the pool.

Mexican guy did something NO adult ever does with kids they don't know. He pulled himself quickly out of the pool and grabbed the ball and turned around to give to the kid.

When he turned around is when I saw he had a hard on.

He jumped back in as quick as he could. Realizing how stupid he'd been.

Is this unambiguous enough for everyone?

I eagerly await the next installment in this exciting saga, "The Case of the Suspiciously Aroused Mexican" or "Chai2 and her Hard-On for Justice!"

Yes, I'm sure you'd think nothing of a grown man talking to your 5 year old while he had an erection.

Happens all the time, a guy in his mid 20's getting a hard on while talking to a little boy.

Innocent mistake I'm sure.

You, joefrom whereever it is you're from, are a ******* idiot, and it's impossible to believe you just said what you did, without your being completely drunk, or crazy.

Do you have to catch a man with his dick in a kids mouth before it becomes cause for alarm?

Yes, the exciting saga of seeing a man with an erection talk to a little boy.

gad zooks you are a horrible horrible person for saying that.

Of course child molesters dont want attention drawn to child molesters . It cramps their style . I would rather a hundred innocent people were suspect then one child molester attack a child . If you had decent morals you would feel the same way .

I can’t believe I read the whole post. I wonder how the story would have drifted if it had been two women and a little girl in the pool.

I don't know how it would have turned out jcboy, as that wasn't what I was presented with.

I deal with the reality in front of me, which wasn't 2 women.

I can say that if this had been 2 men and a little girl, I would have felt the same.
I can say that the important part of their being 2 adults was that I overheard what one said to another.
If I hadn't been there that day, I wouldn't have noticed a stranger with an erection talking to a child today, because I wouldn't have noticed him, or watch him get out of the pool.

Like it or not, most child molesters are male. I believe they sometimes work in partnership with each other.

In the rarer case of a female child molester, if she were to have a partner in it, it would be another man, more than likely.

You mean in the rare case of a female child molester being convicted . Female molesters tend to be gentle, increasing the chance of the victim blaming themselves because they consented . If you dont look for female child molesters then you wont find them . And they tend to act alone .

When I was a child (around 11),
I had 3 child molesters that were females, who I remember (not simultaneously); 3, but not enuf.
I remember them fondly. Technically, 1 of them was a child herself, below voting age ( 17 ).

No, I'd think it was quite peculiar. Of course, I'd also be really surprised that I had a five-year old child, and I'd also be forced to reflect on the fact that I was focusing on some guy's putative erection, but I suppose that's all part of the big picture.

Frankly, without more detail, I will withhold any judgment on the turgidity of the Mexican man's penis (henceforth to be referred to as "el chorizo grande"). Unless the guy was wearing a Speedo or was whipping said encased meat product around for the kiddies to view, I'm not sure how you determined that it was indeed a stiffy and not just some unexpected-but-explicable protuberance. And even if he was sporting a full-on boner, perhaps it as because he was staring at you all the time that you were staring at him. Attracting and holding a beautiful woman's gaze as he has done, on more than one occasion, can certainly be a powerful aphrodisiac. There are, in other words, other arguably plausible explanations for what you saw.

Nevertheless, even if he wasn't aroused your suspicions were. I wasn't there to see the menacing member, so I'll just have to take your word for it. There's a pedophile at your local public swimming pool who is scoping out little boys. Your duty, then, is clear: you must alert the authorities to this potentially serious situation. Why you're doing it here rather than proceeding through proper channels is something I can't quite fathom. Had he been waving a gun instead of a dong, I doubt that you'd be so inactive. If you are so sure that your suspicions are correct (and you are certain enough to call those who might express some doubt "******* idiots"), then what are you waiting for?

I expect, then, that the next installment of your dramatic saga will be the story of how you did something other than sit on your ass trying to convince a bunch of people who can't do a goddamn thing about the situation that there's a child molester out there menacing your city's children.

So go.

Go now!

Run run run!

I can't believe the flak you have copped on this thread and commend your cogent rebuttals and insight.

Yes, perhaps his viagra just kicked in.... or he is autosexual... or gets turned on by chlorine.... or bouncing balls excite him... or he was thinking of his blow up doll at home .... very plausible...

Gut feelings are sometimes correct. It is always good to be cautious when children are involved. But, when the mother of the child is already aware of the situation, why turn a gut feeling into a crusade or an obsession?
