When I was growing up we lived in Northaven Apartments in Dallas right off of Josey Lane and 635. I remember walking down the street and this man in a black car pulled up and said something like, “Hey kids, look at this…” and he was holding his junk in his hand. He laughed and then drove away.
One day while I was walking home in the same apartment complex a man lifted the leg of his shorts and flashed me. I just ran home scared.
In total I was flashed 4 times in the period of about a year while living there in Dallas. My parents left me and my sisters at home alone during the summer. We were 7,8, and 9. Thankfully nothing ever happened to any of us physically.
I later relayed this story to a co-worker of mine and he said the same thing happened to him and his brother growing up.
It made me realize that this probably happens quite a bit so even when your kids are just playing in the street, keep an eye on them.

How did you get this bulletin?
I don’t know if you know, but I lead a sexual abuse recovery group at irving bible church. Reading things like this makes my stomach leap into my chest and I kind of feel like vomiting.
It’s so important to not only keep an eye on your kids, but to build the type of relationship with them that enables them to TELL parents about these incidents. It’s so unbelievably important to talk about these things with them.

It’s part of our neighborhood crime watch. This lady named Yvette heads it up and sends us these emails whenever something happens in Plano. We get them rarely and thankfully so far none of them have been in my neighborhood.
I didn’t know about you leading that class at IBC, that is very cool and admirable.
I don’t think my parents really thought of these incidents as that big of a threat because they didn’t call the police.
Eventually they did move us to the country because they realized that area was dangerous.
