WELL, MY PERVERTED NEIGHBOR IS DEAD.

[skip68]

I was informed early today that the pervert killed himself.   He was arrested 5 days ago, bailed out after a couple nights in jail and killed himself I believe this morning or in the middle of night.    
Obviously he wasn't going to face what was coming.   I think there was more than what we knew that was going to be coming out of the seized evidence from his house.      
Either way, I don't feel guilty for what I did and my conscience is clear.   I have no blood on my hands so to speak.  
If I had it to do all over again (knowing the outcome) I wouldn't change a thing.  
I am very deeply sorry for the mother and kids and hope they don't blame me.  

That's all I have to say at this moment.   I wanted him exposed and caught but didn't want him dead.   Just a messed up situation.    

[twodko]

Skip,

He killed himself a longtime ago. A life lost always comes with
emotions of one sort or another.
Some people just need killing.
Don't look back, don't think back.......there's nothing to see. You're good to go bro.

[bull]

Pretty cowardly on his part. I mean to use people for your own sick pleasure for years and then check out when your comeuppance is due is the epitome of self-absorbed. I really wonder if he felt any much-deserved guilt? Probably not. Probably just upset he got caught and was too gutless to face the consequences. Sorry, I can't feel bad for this puke after what he did to his family. Good riddance.

Don't hold back on what you really think.  No sugar coating allowed.  

Actually that's the Quote of the Year.  Everyone can go home now, no way that that Truth gets topped.

[JB400]

Although it would have been better if he was held accountable for his actions, his death is the best news his former victims could hear.  They won't have to bother looking over their shoulders or living in fear of this person when he got out of jail.  Best thing for them to do, is to not bother going to any funeral of his, sell the house, and move on with their lives.  Hopefully, greener pastures are in their future.

[hawkeye]

For once he did the right thing.

[mrsskip68]

Just a fyi. They were renters next to us. Their friends and family informed us that they will be coming by alot to move her and the kids out. The wife does not want to come back. I have mixed emotions about this ending. Certanly not what we would wish on him, he just needed to be punished and helped with the sickness. It is what it is, but i do feel bad for the family. Thats all i have for now. Thanks guys.

Problem is many people like that can't be helped. Some with heavy doses of medication, but even then you still can't trust they won't stop taking medication.

Last pervert I busted in the act of peeping on young girls had a few accidents going out the door. Damn guy just couldn't stay on his feet....

Well said

[bull]

There is one positive note I suppose, he didn't try taking his family with him.

[mrsskip68]

Funny you say that. Yesterday family members came to get a few things from the house for the mom, and we saw a couple rifles. My son was the first one to say your exact statement. The (perv) had a court order not to be near the girl so he had no access as well. At least "legally."

[RallyeMike]

A company worker I knew was arrested at work last year (for similar stuff). Nobody suspected a thing. He also killed himself a few days later which was that much more shocking to everyone. It's baffling - I'm still scratching my head over the whole thing, as I'm sure the Skips are. It's hard to make sense of, and to come to the realization that you never know how much of this crazy stuff you may be close to. It's a bizzare world.

Hang in there.

[Beav]

Very tragic for the wife and kids. Truly sad.

No fault on your part AT ALL!

He evidently wasn't willing to deal with the consequences of his actions... and now standing before the ultimate Judge.

Beav

[twodko]

Word!

[Steve P.]

Better he took himself out than have someone catch and kill him. His MURDER went away with him.. no one else will pay for his abuse. If I caught someone staring into the little girl next doors window, I cannot say I would be aiming a camera at him.

[A383Wing]

another thing, at least "we" won't be paying for his room and board either

[69rtse4spd]

No regrets Skip, that type of person, they do not like in jail, he knew what awaited him. Sleep with a clear mind, you did the right thing.

Wow! I don't spend much time here in the "off topic" board and just had to go back and read this whole story...unbelievable! As a father of 4 (3 daughters) this kinda stuff just sickens me. But it's good to know there are people like you Skip who are still willing to do the right thing.

[skip68]

Thanks Rich and everyone else.  I'm glad I pursued this to the end but I'm not feeling good about the outcome at all.   The next couple weeks family members will be coming and have come to get the house packed and move the mom and kids.   Seeing them look over at my house bothers me and makes me feel that they blame me or think I'm partially responsible for him killing himself.   I don't know how much of the truth any of them know. 

[Steve P.]

Skippy, maybe you should print out a few of the pics you have of him at the daughters window.. Look for him wearing different clothes.. Then if any of them want to give you shit, you can simply say: Look at these....

The very simple fact is, you started out watching out for your daughter and his. You didn't drag him to the window and you damn sure don't know how many others windows he spent time peering through! OR who he may have hurt in the future!!!

Sleep well knowing that POS is no longer going to actively hurt anyone else. 

[skip68]

I hear you Steve.   

[polywideblock]

     you should also remember that even with evidence there will be relatives that will choose to believe he was innocent .
     
    and couldn't stand the "stigma" of being branded a sex fiend  which is why he took his life

             so don't take it personally their just expressing their grief in their own way

I've seen this personally ,guy I knew (step father) interfering with teenage step daughter ,his  mother refused to believe it to her dyeing day 

               

[Chargen69]

doesnt matter what they think or what he thought when he killed himself.  You know you did the right thing, there was no way you could have turned a blind eye to this.  Worse than him killing himself, would have been him building up the courage to assault one of those kids and messing them up for a long time or ever.

anybody that blames you for anything should be locked up in his place.

Thanks Rich and everyone else.  I'm glad I pursued this to the end but I'm not feeling good about the outcome at all.   The next couple weeks family members will be coming and have come to get the house packed and move the mom and kids.   Seeing them look over at my house bothers me and makes me feel that they blame me or think I'm partially responsible for him killing himself.   I don't know how much of the truth any of them know. 

Looking is natural.  My guess is they are processing, not necessarily blaming.  I'd let them do it and move on.  No one in their right mind could blame you, and you can't really reason with anyone not in their right mind anyway.  Confronting them with pictures probably won't help.  They may come to terms with what happened on their own.  Those that need a little more help might approach you.  But I'd let them decide that.

[bull]

It's pretty typical in these types of situations for the family to blame the person or group that identified the problem and was willing to stand up and do something about it. As the saying goes, if you identify the problem you become the problem. Usually it falls on a "black sheep" member of a family, the one who doesn't play along with the enablers who hide the abuser and make excuses for him. By killing himself this offender took one last shot at his family and you. He lost control of the situation and so now he's punishing everyone for it. Essentially he didn't like the outcome of the game so he took his ball and went home.

Don't fall for this psychotic BS. He made his bed and had to lie in it. All you did was turn the light on. What he was doing when the room lit up is on him and those who allowed it to continue.

[FlatbackFanatic]

  You did the right thing Skip. Its too bad that more people don't do the right thing. If he wasn't found out, he could
of done something to those girls or yours or your other neighbors.

Absolutely.
His choice was to do what he did over a long period of time before he topped himself.
Your choice was to do something about it without sitting on the information that you had, you did the right thing and his Family, your Family and society in general are better off for it.
My neighbour was getting beat up by her son one night and I went over and stopped it, bit of fallout after that but couldn't live with the conscience if I didn't do anything.

[69DAYTONASE]

Skip, you absolutely did the right thing. Not on you that he ofted himself, that, like his pervert crap, is(was) on him....his decision, and not surprisingly, a bad one.

[skip68]

Well today is way better.   The uncle of the kids came over to the fence to talk to me.   He said I did the only thing I could and the right thing.  He said he would've done the same.   He told me that the pervert shot himself at his mother's house and his mother was the one that found him.       

He also said that the grandmother (perverts wife's mother) told him to be sure to thank me for looking out for her girls.   I feel much more at ease knowing that family members are siding with me and not upset with me.   
The mother of the kids is still in her shell the uncle said.   I thanked the uncle and told him I haven't felt good about this for quite awhile and it meant alot to me.     

[stripedelete]

You did the right thing.  It had tough outcome.  If you didn't have some kind of knot in your stomach your humanity would be in question.

[bull]

Seems like the right thing is rarely the easy thing.

[Patronus]

The choice to do nothing has consequences.

[nvrbdn]

first as stated, you did right.  second is that he probably didn't want to face what happens to perverts in prison.  and most important is that he didn't decide to take people with him in his time of grief.

   you two are honest upstanding people trying to bring a family up in a decent neighborhood. you were right to protect the innocent young life's he was preying on. I appreciate people like you that don't turn their heads in fear of getting involved. Thanks for caring.

[Stretch]

Skip, Take comport in knowing you did he right thing in a situation where most fathers (me included) would likely have let there  emotions take over and make a snap decision that would destroy more lives than the ones in this mans family. You likely stopped him from going farther than looking in windows. Who knows what demons were loose in his mind and what would have come next once he built up the courage to jump in deeper than he already had.

The fact that the uncle came over and talked to you shows that they know deep down you did the only thing you could do. Protect your family! You are human so you have human feelings and second thoughts about how this all ended is to be expected. Hug your daughter, Hug your wife, and let your hart work through all of this. You stepped up and stopped a monster. Most people would have looked the other way or taken things into their own hands. Nether of which would have been the right way to go about this.

You did the right thing. Take comport in knowing that and take comport in knowing that every damn one of us on this board are proud of you.

[c00nhunterjoe]

You did the right thing. He may have been a pervet for now, but eventually he may have progressed to much much worse, you very well may have saved kids lives.
