The woman had befriended the boy, took him on walks with her but without the boys’ mother. This is not someone the neighbors had concerns about, but the mother increasingly became uneasy about the woman, and started asking questions. The police said that “…the mother told them Hopkins lived next door to them and developed a close relationship with her son, and she became suspicious when her son started going on walks with Hopkins and visiting her apartment.” examiner.com/article/35-year-old-sarah-beth-hopkins-arrested-for-child-sex-abuse According to local news reports, some of the sexual contact with the boy took place while on the walks, in public places, rather than at the woman’s apartment.
Your parish offers training for parents and people working with youth, concerning how to spot grooming behaviors, which differ in important respects from the ways that normal adults relate to children. The idea is to deny the opportunity for pedophiles to identify and groom their victims by knowing the difference between appropriate contact and inappropriate contact. If you are around people who are around children, learn about this.
