Not so much political.
This might not be politically correct or even political in nature at all, but it's something that I need to get off my chest, and maybe educate some who may be guilty.
Recently, there have been a couple of little girls(7ish) that have come up to me when I'm sitting outside my apartment with my little dog, and one of them asked me if she could walk her on a couple of occasions. I didn't encourage them to do that and if I had my way, I would've told them to move on because of my fear of being labeled a molester, however, I didn't want to appear as a grumpy old man either so I let her walk my dog.
Anyway, yesterday I was outside fixing up an abode for my son's bullfrog that he had captured. Their father came by riding his bicycle and than stopped at the sidewalk in front of my apartment. When his son(11)asked me if he could walk the dog and began to, the father told him to take her back to me.
Later, I learned that the little girl was no longer allowed to talk or visit me. The little girl's friend informed me that the mother told her that there was a man there(my apartment)who was a child molester.(by the way, this woman has stared at me intently a couple of times while driving past my apartment as I was outside. It would appear that there are a few women in the area of the mother's apartment, that are now looking at me in "that" way.
Where she got her information, I can't imagine. I'm not on any sex offenders lists. I've never molested any children or women. I live alone because my wife divorced me 2 years ago after being married for 35 years. My daughter, her husband and my 4 grandchildren live in an apartment next to this woman, and I see them very often, sometimes coming to my apartment to see me. I assume this woman has seen that and it has made her suspicious.
I don't understand why this woman would spread a rumor like this about me. This has seriously disheartened and humiliated me. I used to be a pastor in my town and if this rumor spreads, I'm going to have to move back to Boise, where I won't see my son, daughters or grandchildren very often.
Why are some women so paranoid as to smear someone like this without any evidence whatsoever. If this isn't "Defamation of Character", I don't know what is. Hopefully, this woman will read this and correct her poor behavior. Also, just because a man lives alone, it doesn't make him some kind of pervert.
If anyone suspects someone of this kind of "behavior", check the online sex offender's list that is updated on a regular basis.
