“When I was 11 I was walking home from school with my friend (about a 5 minute walk) when a car pulled up on the street right next to us. We immediately sped up but the car began following us. After about a minute of us circling around the neighborhood because we didn’t want to show him where we lived he rolled down his window and started shooting at us that he would “give us a good time” and that he could “show us what real pleasure felt like”. Being 11 we weren’t exactly sure what he meant but we just ran up these hills to the back of my house. 2 days later a man in the area was arrested for kidnapping a girl aged 12 and sexual assaulting her.”
