child sexual abusers
When I was in middle school, I had a shoplifting problem, along with some bad-influence friends. It started small, some M&Ms or binaca (which was weirdly popular in my middle school back then). But, as I kept getting away with it, I kept upping the ante. Eventually, it was my brazenness that got me caught. I thoroughly learned my lesson and never stole again.
I think about that sometimes when I read stories like this about a 43-year-old man sending shamelessly explicit texts to teenage boys... What led to his brazenness?
