I have a serious question. I had a friend a number of years ago that I met when we were both camp counselors. we had started talking recently on facebook ocassionally after I found him on there. He kind of dropped off the scene and I found out recently he had been arrested for a sexually based offense (child)no contact though. He had done something similarw contact apparently years before. I did not know about this. needless to say i am shocked ,appalled and creeped out. His brother asked me if I would write to him in prison. I find what he did disgusting, but I do care about him. What should I do? Right now I am very disturbed about this.

I don't think I could contact him, if he has done things like that, then he obviously has some issues, and that wouldn't be something I would want to be involved with, think long and hard about what it would mean for you...

Yes it is my opinion. Why not consult with some of your family members

I think that he could use all the good influences he can find right now. And you are a good influence. I think if you feel like you should write him, go ahead and you would have nothing to feel guilty about. Showing you care is not condoning what he did.

Hi, snowy22315. Out of the kindness of your heart, I think that you should write to him. Tell him how you are feeling about finding this out about him. I know that you may be shocked because he never acted like he was interested into children like this. It is very sad. We just never know who people really are these days. Life can be very mysterious. I hope that you can communicate with him by writing to him. Say what you feel is going to ease your mind.

I would not have anything to do with him in the future, but that is just my opinion. It is a horrible situation to be in, but I hope you decide on the course of action that is right for you. Good Luck!
