    You never know when you have the right intution or see something that someone else might have missed.

    Here is a thread I started several months ago, and several posters tried to warn me.

    http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/169063/1/I-need-help-to-help-someone-else

    I wanted to give you all an update:

    ................for those that tried to warn me, I want to thank you.

    I just wanted to help the man.

    I'd been meeting him at the library and teaching him how to use a computer. I went with Oz to his house and took pictures of his stuff that he wanted to sell on Craigslist...several times. I invited him to my house and he spent several hours at my house, fixed my sump pump, drank coffee. I thought he was just a sad lonely little man.

    There was a few things I didn't like about him: (but accepted and put up with) he constantly preached at me about why I should go to church, read the bible, and believe in God. (I patiently listened and explained my reasoning, but let him continue, because I felt like it made him better because he 'thought' he was helping someone) During one of our chats, I said..."Why would I want to sit in a man-made building with a bunch of people I don't even know. Some of them might even be pedophile's or hypocrites . " ....

    And little did I know.....

    GREENE CO., Ohio -- A 63-year-old man is going to prison for a sex crime against a child.

    The crime happened last year at the man's home while he was supposed to be babysitting the 3-year-old girl.

    Rene Carandaunte was found guilty of gross sexual imposition.

    In a Greene County courtroom Tuesday, the child's mother said she wanted Carandaunte to go to prison. The judge obliged and sentenced him to 3 years behind bars.

    Carandaunte apologized saying, " I am for very sorry for what I did."

    Now, the victim's mother said she is glad this ordeal is behind them and she will focus her attention on healing her child.

    Oh Lisa! You must be in shock. I have the tendency to take people at face value and for that have been burned a time or two, but nothing like this . It is a shame that you can't take pity on someone and lend a helping hand without worrying about putting yourself or your loved ones in danger.

    Just an FYI: You can look people up by name to see if they've been charged with a crime in your county:

    I just wanted to help him out. I didn't want to find out he was a criminal.
