Bedford mother finds internet predator in her daughter’s bed
Eric Gahgen, 27 from Pennsylvania, had been talking to a Bedford 14-year-old online for a year when he decided on an impromptu visit. The teen's mother discovered Gaghen in her daughter's bed. According to police, his brother drove him down to Texas and dropped him off at the house. He then climbed up the back wall of the house to her room and had been there for at least a day. He is being charged with sexual assault of a child.

That's a great Freudian slip there, Erin, unless new houses come with extra anatomical features.
What kind of a brother would drive his sibling halfway across the country just so he could have sex with a kid?

The kind of brother who shares the same DNA as that guy. Goodness, did you see his picture?
Having raised a daughter, as a single parent, working full time even, it always shocks the heck out of me when parents don't know what's going on just down the hall. Building bombs, amassing an arsenal of weapons, sneaking out or sneaking in some freak…I don’t understand, how does this happen???

Wow. I would say that it was just a typing error but the "w" and "b" are nowhere near each other.
It is fixed now.

jtmbls, five bucks says your kids are up to all sorts of things that you don't know about. And there's pretty much no way you can prove that I'm wrong, short of grafting a video camera to her skul.

Well Pavel, it just wouldn’t be fair for me to take your money, as my daughter is now a law abiding, well mannered, productive citizen of 20. But from the early years, it was made very clear that there would be no expectation of privacy as far as her room, her property, her computer. As long as I was responsible for her, I was in every bit of her business. All of her teachers new my name, as well as the staff in the administration office. If I didn’t know her friends and their parents, she didn’t hang out with them. The only way she was allowed to have a myspace was if I had her password. So, fortunately, I was able to read the very first message a sick pedophile sent to her and respond to him myself. (Who, by the way, had just been released and living in Lewisville from 8 years in the penitentiary for two counts against a 14 year old.) God help him had he actually made it all the way to our home.
