I came back home, and got some stuff done around the house, organizing, clearing off my desk, getting ready to do the thank you notes and the FAA paperwork. Then Kaylee came home. She wasn't feeling well, so she stayed here and talked at me for awhile lying in our chair. I left to go take the checks for SMA Support up to our bank which is now in Peru since they closed the Kokomo branch. Got back in time to meet with the man who banged up our 180. Discussed what went wrong, how to fix it next time, what went right, and told him to stop beating himself up now, learn from it and move forward, and get back in an airplane with one of us quickly before the mind starts playing tricks.
Steve and I then went to dinner, Kaylee didn't want to go out as she still wasn't feeling well. I brought her home some soup, and we're sitting here when she Facetimed one of her highschool friends, C, who said she needed to talk to her in person. So get this. Austin Hewitt, from Kaylee's highschool class. He's the flamboyant boy who had bone cancer, had his toe and then his foot removed in different cancer battles. He was in Encore with Kaylee, he was a big part of getting Riley Children's Hospital to have Encore there at Christmas. He was at IWU with Kaylee, and switched to the Psych/Social Work/Therapist program there. She just met up with him a couple weeks ago to have lunch and reconnect as it had been awhile. Today he was arrested on 20 counts of child pornography and exploitation. Supposedly the 'exploitation' part means he was either involved in trafficking or in the production of the pornographic material, but this part is hearsay right now. Holy Crap. Back in highschool, there was a rumor that he was inappropriate with other boys. Kaylee and a couple other kids took it to the principal. But when the principal brought everyone in and asked about it, none of the boys would admit anything happened. So the principal told them that there was no evidence, and to treat someone as innocent unless otherwise proven. Time moved on and everyone figured it must've just been stupid high school rumors. Until now. And now I'm disturbed that had he been caught in highschool, how many children's lives would not have been ruined since then? I'm hoping he just HAD the material, not that he actually...produced it. It's all disgusting, but my God. I will never understand what kind of person can look at a child and be turned on. I mean...never. It makes me want to vomit, and then punch somebody. Maybe punch a few times and then vomit. I guess it's a good thing I'm not in charge, or God, because I don't have any mercy for someone who hurts the innocent, particularly children. What an ugly, awful, sad.... Ugh.
My car under the fall leaves in the dark and it's still pretty. :)
