A major story took place in my hometown last week. Two missing boys were found in an apartment in Kirkwood, Missouri. One had been abducted the previous Monday. The other had been missing for over four years. It's a wonderful story, and practically unbelievable.
Now authorities are looking into possible ties the abductor may have with at least two other missing children. It's said someone who does that sort of thing usually starts early.
The abductor's family didn't realize that the boy he took four years ago had been abducted. I dlon't know how they missed it. He wasn't married, but he had close relatives in the area. How could they not have been suspicious?
As the evidence came out, some of his coworkers began to talk about strange behaviors. But initially, from coworkers and neighbors, he was basically an all-around guy. He just had a short fuse.
This is what scares me the most. The Decider talks about "evil doers" as if they have a special mark on their faces to distinguish them from the rest of us. But "evil doers" are among us. And many don't become "evil doers" until reaching a certain point in their lives.
I have children. I have always worried about them. Now I worry more. It's not safe for a boy to ride his bike in his neighborhood. And we're worried about shadowy terrorists on the other side of the world? Let's take care of the terrorism in our own back yards.
