Horse of a different color

Watching Dateline, The Worst Predator, on August 11, 2006, two people immediately came to mind. The story was about Dean Arthur Schwartzmiller, a suspected child molester. He is thought to be the most prolific child molester of all time.

John Larson started his article with a couple of observations.

For generations parents have warned their children about “the stranger”: Don’t take candy, accept a ride, or even talk to somebody you don’t know.

But what if that somebody is a family friend? Somebody parents know and trust?

The two people who came to mind were Peter Whitmore and Mary Kay Latourneau.
