i just had my precious, INNOCENT, boys at our neighborhood pool for their last swim of the summer, and we HAD to leave. some man (and i use that term loosely) was down there claiming to be the one the homeowner's association hired to oversee the pool. we've had a lot of trouble with people coming to the pool from other neighborhoods, and we've had problems with people breaking the pool furniture, trashing the pool, etc.
as if it wasn't bad enough that he was pretending he belonged there, he started acting very suspicious...predator-like. there were some young teenagers there, 2 boys and 2 girls, with two little boys as well. when we got there, he was chasing them with a bug he caught in the pool net, making the girls scream. then he was just lurking around them in the water. i caught him a couple of times staring at us, but then he turned his attention back to the teens.
i got out of the pool and was laying on my towel, drying out. i could hear their conversation. first he told the teens that was going to go get a massage and he would be naked on the table. then the conversation quickly got appalling. let's just say that he was discussing "pleasing himself" and asking the teens if they ever did it!!!!! i couldn't believe it! the kids were laughing at him and joking with him!! i should have told them to run away.....fast.....but i didn't. i wished i had brought my phone with me.........
and then if ALL THAT wasn't bad enough, he grabbed one of the boys from behind and said, "i forgot to tell you, i'm gay." then he took the boy under the water, and when he came up he was underneath the boy pretending to be having relations with him!!!!!!!!!!
i got my boys and WE LEFT. i called daryl and told him what was happening, and he told me to call the HOA's president's wife. and the HOA president also happens to be a police officer :)!!!
so now the police are on the way to the pool, and i'm waiting to talk to them about this creep.
i'm just sick....you'd think your own neighborhood pool would be a safe place, but it's NOT! it reminds me of two things: satan is still at work in this world and we've got to look out for each other. we've got to stand against him and all the creeps he's got helping him. even if we feel powerless to take on evil alone (like i did at the pool) God has given us others to help us in this fight!
OK...i've rambled long enough. i'm kind of nervous about talking to the police.
so i have a challenge for us. the bible says to pray for our enemies, and this guy is definitely on my enemy list RIGHT NOW, but i'm going to pray for him. i'm challenging you to pray for an enemy in your life RIGHT NOW.
p.s. i'll let you know how the interrogation goes!

WHAT! i am so sorry that you and Spencer and Colby had to be exposed to that. i am so disgusted right now with people. what has happened in that boy's life that he thinks that talking like that and acting like that is okay? as angry as I am over it, i am praying for him too - because its SO SAD that he hasn't had the guidance in his life to know that behavior is inappropriate. and i'm praying for those kids that he was talking with too, so that they don't consider that his behavior was appropriate, and mimic his behavior later on.
again, i'm sorry Ames that you and the boys had a terrible time at the pool today. thank you for taking action with the HOA and the police. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU LIFE A FOOTBALL FIELD AWAY FROM ME.
thank goodness the boys didn't actually hear him!!
i just noticed i yelled: "LIFE" instead of "LIVE". i feel better now. phweh.
so glad the boys didn't hear. still ruined the afternoon for you though :(. disgusting.
OH MY GOODNESS!!! First, I cannot believe this creep's behavior with an adult present!!! HELLO! Can you say [idiot]? Second, I can't believe that the teens would even engage in such a conversation with a complete stranger! Do they not watch the news at all????? Have their parents not taught them anything? Third, I can't believe that my sweet family was in such close proximity to a predator!! I am so glad that you are all safe and I'm so glad that the boys didn't hear the conversation. I'm with Nellie. Thank you for calling the HOA and talking to the police. You may have saved some very foolish teens from an experience they would never forget and you did exactly what needed to be done to keep your neighborhood safe. I will be praying on so many different levels, girlie.
