I suspect my neighbor is a pedophile. What do I do? [View All]

[jimbo fett]

I live in a new subdivision (2 years) on a cul-de-sac. About a year ago we had new neighbors move in. They seemed alright at first but a little odd. They were hermit-like. So much so that we were unsure as to who or how many people even lived in their house. We finally learned that a couple lived there - in their forties probably.

We assumed their odd nature was due to cultural differences (they are immigrants) or just shy.

And they never tried to socialize with the rest of us on the cul-de-sac.

That was until the man started showing interest in our next-door-neighbors' 8 year-old boy.

Almost everytime the kids on our cul-de-sac are playing outside (with parents) the man in question comes out and strikes up a conversation with the 8 year-old boy. He pays little or no attention to the adults or other children.

He asks this boy many questions and gets into his "personal space."

Another odd thing was on Halloween night when we came by this man's house (at this point we only thought he was weird - not dangerous) he gave the children candy and then reached in his wallet and gave each kid several dollar bills.

Well, the thing that REALLY has us worried now is that he came outside the other day and started talking to the boy. While talking to him he held the boys hand (we learned after the fact due to chaos of all the kids playing).

What do we do? This man hasn't broken any laws but clearly he's behaving in a manner that is not socially acceptable regardless of culture and seems to be displaying clear pedophilic tendencies.

What do we do????
