I am a single mother of a 16 year old son. My son began his first full time job this summer with a main street hardware store. After the first few months, my son was approached by a co-worker, who is roughly in his mid forties, divorced with two children of his own. He gave my son a computer hard drive to borrow to download music. After my son brought this hard drive home, I discovered that it contained thousands of pornographic pictures, some containing child pornography. I took it from my son and immediately gave it to the police department, who asked me to prove it by printing the child pictures myself, which I gave to them with the hard drive. It was now in their hands. In the mean time, I alerted my son’s boss (owner’s of the hardware store) to the problem. They told me to keep it as quiet as possible and as far away from their store as possible. And, get this, “To air MY dirty laundry elsewhere”.
Shortly after, this same co-worker offered to sell my son drugs on the store premises. After finding this out, the store owner’s told me, that if I wasn’t comfortable with my son working with this person, then perhaps he should quit. Like he was the one that had done something wrong.
